Simulation Study on Hybrid Circuit Breaker Composed of Two Arc Extinguishing Chambers in Series with Different Mediumi
A hybrid circuit breaker composed of vacuum and SF
6
arc extinguishing chambers in series is proposed for high-voltage DC application. It takes full advantages of the fast medium recovery of vacuum and the high medium recovery strength of SF
6
. In the initial phase after arcing
the vacuum arc extinguishing chamber is subjected to the main transient recovery voltage (TRV)
and in the later period
TRV is mainly borne by SF
6
arc extinguishing chamber.A simulation model of the hybrid high-voltage circuit breaker is established to analyze the dynamic voltage distribution and dynamic insulation characteristics after arcing. Besides
the current transfer process
of the hybrid HVDC circuit breaker is analyzed. It is shown that in the process of current transfer
the arc extinguishing chambers with different mediums can withstand TRV at different stages to improve breaking ability of hybrid DC circuit breakers and achieve the best working mode. This research may lay the theoretical foundation for the study of hybrid high-voltage DC circuit breakers.
