Research on DC Component Breaking Capability of SF6 Circuit Breaker Based on KEMA Arc Model
the time constant of DC component in short circuit current exceeding the standard time constant will cause a decrease in the breaking capacity of the circuit breakers.Therefore
it is necessary to study the effects of DC component on circuit breaker to accurately evaluate its actual breaking capacity and prevent the major losses caused by the failure of the breaking.This paper proposes a method that uses KEMA arc model to obtain the DC component breaking capability of SF

circuit breaker.Firstly
the KEMA arc model is introduc
ed in the simulations of DC component breaking and an algorithm is proposed to search for the arc parameters corresponding to the rated breaking capacity.Then these arc parameters are used to simulate the actual short-circuit current which has a higher DC component.Finally
this method is used to verify the actual breaking capacity of circuit breakers in Ningxia Power Grid.The results show that when the rated breaking capacity contains 20% DC component
the gas arcing power increases
so the cooling power constants of arc model are larger and the time constant is smaller than the corresponding parameters that the DC component in rated breaking current is not considered
and these parameters can break the actual short-circuit currents.Therefore
after obtaining the rated breaking capacity of the SF

circuit breaker
the proposed method can be used to evaluate its breaking capacity with the impact of the actual DC component and improve the reliability of the power systems.
