Abstract

A novel coil gun type actuator has been proposed and tested for its possibility as an actuator for a high voltage circuit breaker by experimental method. The 20kJ capacitor bank with the electrolytic condensers was charged up to 500V and discharged to a couple of 100 turn coils connected with parallel through a thyristor switch. The repulsive force between coil and the actuator made by copper conductor of 20kg reached up to 23,000 N, and over 800J of energy was transferred to the kinetic energy of the conductor. The experimental results showed that the coil gun type actuator has a good possibility for the high voltage circuit breaker.
