Study on Dielectric Recovery Characteristic of Mechanical HVDC Circuit Breaker Based on “Zero-voltage” Principle
Mechanical HVDC circuit breaker(CB)is one of the main directions of HVDC interruption. For improving the breaking performance of the mechanical HVDC CB using vacuum circuit breakers as main switch
the topology of a novel type of mechanical HVDC CB based on“zero-voltage”principle is proposed in this paper. Its operating principle is analyzed and the“zero-voltage”time
created by the high voltage continuous diode for the main switch
is preliminarily obtained. The simulation model of the novel HVDC CB based on vacuum switch is set up. The influence law of such parameters as reverse current branch on“zero-voltage”time is analyzed. The variation law of the dielectric recovery strength of the vacuum switch with the time is obtained by the intrinsic dielectric recovery characteristics of vacuum. The simulation and test results show that“zero-voltage”time ranging from 0 to 359 μs can be created through the continuous diode. While
the intrinsic dielectric recovery characteristic data shows that the dielectric recovery strength of vacuum switch can be completely recovered when the“zero-voltage”time is above 20~30 μs. By comparing the test results of the traditional HVDC CB with that of the novel mechanical CB
the feasibility and effectiveness of the“zero-voltage”principle are preliminarily verified
which provide a reference for the development of a novel mechanical HVDC CB.
