Simulation and Light Impulse Test Results of Shieldless Vacuum Interrupter

아크쉴드가 없는 진공인터럽터의 유한요소해석 및 뇌임펄스 성능

This paper discusses the simulation and LI(light impulse) test of the shieldless vacuum interrupter concept. The shields of vacuum interrupter play an important role in absorbing the metal vapor. But shield distort the electric field distribution of inner vacuum interrupter. Therefore, the insulation efficiency will improve. if shield of vacuum interrupter inside does not exist. As a result, FEM simulation show that improve distribution of electrical field and equi-potential line. But LI test result dissimilar to FEM simulation result. Shieldless vacuum interrupter model lower BIL(breakdown impulse light) than vacuum interrupter have installed shield. Because conditioning process occurred metal vapor. This paper compared that FEM analysis and LI test of installed shield model and shieldless model.
