Analysis of Arcing Characteristics During Harmonic Current Switching of Vacuum Type On-load Tap-changer
Vacuum interrupter has been used widely in on-load tap-changer as the main units for its switching operations. The on-load tap-changers used in converter transformer are subjected to operating conditions affected by harmonics
yet research on the arc plasma characteristics of vacuum interrupter under harmonic current conditions remains lacking. Therefore
in this paper the simulation of the arc characteristic under harmonic conditions for the vacuum interrupter used in the vacuum type on-load tap changer of converter transformer is performed. By setting up physical model
mathematical model and boundary conditions
such parameters as ion number density
axial current density
electron and ion temperature within the vacuum interrupter used in the converter transformers under harmonic current conditions are analyzed. Furthermore
a comparative analysis is conducted on the corresponding characteristics under power frequency current conditions. The findings regarding the influence of such factors as initial current rise rate
contacts ablation
arc density and temperature characteristics on the interrupting performance will provide technical support for analyzing the harmonic current switching capability of vacuum type on-load tapchangers.
