A computational approach was developed to understand about the arc quenching process in a gas circuit breaker(GCB). This approach is a program to analyze the gas flow in the breaker. The arc is processed at the same time. The program was used the so-called FLIC method for gas analysis techniques. It was referenced that the arc is interpreted the 'a Simplified Enthalpy Flow Arc Model'. In order to validate about the results of the program, a Auto Puffer GCB was chosen as the test subject. Because, the breaker is the one that arc current is interrupted by using the arc heating. And also, the current interrupting capability can be obtained only owing to the positive utilization(auto puffer) of the clogging phenomenon, without other puffer actions. In this paper, it has been realized that the entire arc quenching process is computerized, which is based on the self-flow current interruption by the auto puffer action. This program, which was verified through experiments, produced good results.

본 연구는 자계내에서 직류 차단설비의 아크소호 현상을 규명하기 위하여 침대 평판 전극에 부극성 직류 고전압 인가시 아크전압 및 전류 그리고 이들 파형특성을 자계세기의 변화에 따라 연구 검토하였다. 본 연구에서 얻은 중요한 결론은 다음과 같다. 자계가 인가되지 않았을 때는 아크동특성이 나타나지 않고 아크전압의 감소와 아트전류의 증가가 순간적으로 이루어진 후, 일정하게 유지되었을 뿐만아니라 전류 파형으로부터 아크방전이 연속적으로 발생됨을 알수 있었다. 자계가 인가되면 아크동특성이 나타난후, 서서히 아크전압이 감소되고 증가되고 아크전류는 감소되었다. 그리고 전류파형으로부터 아크방전은 단속적으로 됨에 따라 전류영점이 나타남을 알 수 있었고, 전류영점이 나타나는 주기와 아크방전의 단속 주기가 일치하였으며 자계가 증가될수록 주기도 증가되었다.

It has been the most progressive interruption technique to use the ablation gas from the surface of PTFE nozzle driven by arc plasma during switching process in $SF_6$ gas circuit breakers. This advanced interruption technique can reduce the required mechanical energy to compress and blow the gas for extinguishing the arc plasma between the electrodes due to using the ablation effect instead. In order to consider the phenomena during calculation of switching process, it is required to confirm the principles of ablation from PTFE nozzle as well as of arc plasma during switching process. In this study, we have calculated the switching process considered the ablation of PTFE nozzle driven by arc plasma using multidisciplinary simulation technique and compared the results with the data without the ablation effect. More $50\%$ difference of pressure rise inside expansion chamber has been found from the results and it should be indispensable for this type of computational work to consider and include the ablation effect of PTFE nozzle. Further study on turbulence and radiation will be followed.

After various measuring methods and system were investigated, Rogowski colis for the measurement of parameters in current zero region were designed and manufactured. Using the Rogowski coils and a 38kV 40kA VCB (vacuum circuit breaker), at last the post-arc current has been successfully measured firstly. It was found that the Rogowski coils used in this study have good characteristics and propriety to measure the parameters of current zero. We realized that the data processing for evaluating the post-arc current from the experimental results needs much more careful attention than that for building the measuring technique and system. The magnitude of post-arc current and the falling time of it to zero are proportioned to the rate of current di/dt. The magnitude of post-arc currents were around $1{\sim}3A$ to the interruption current of $20{\sim}30kA$ in the model VCB.

Vacuum circuit breakers(VCB) are widely used for current interruption of high-voltage inductive loads such as induction motors. This VCB can be chopped off before the current zero due to its high arc-extinguishing capability. One of the outstanding features of VCB is that it can cut off high frequency re-ignition current more than other circuit breakers. If the transient recovery voltage generated in the arc extinguishing is higher than the dielectric strength of the circuit breaker, a re-ignition phenomenon occurs. The surge voltage of the re-ignition is very high in magnitude and the steepness of the waveform is so severe that it can act as a high electrical stress on the winding. If the high frequency current of one phase affects the other two phases when the re-ignition occurs, it may cause a high surge voltage due to the virtual current chopping. If the magnitude of the voltage allowed in the motor winding is high or the waveform level is too severe, it may lead to insulation breakdown. Therefore, it is necessary to reduce the voltage to within a certain range. In this study, we briefly explain the various phenomena at the time of interruption, analyzed the magnitude of the dielectric strength and the transient recovery voltage at the simultaneous three-phase interruption that can give the greatest influence to the inductive load, proposed a method to reduce the impact.

Arc Fault Current is an which occurrs in two opposite electrode. In this paper, arc current control algorithm is designed for the interruption of arc fault current which is occurred in the low voltage network. This arc is one of the main causes of electric fire. General arc current sensor has troubles for detecting arc currents, thus we would like to propose the arc current detection method without current sensor. In this parer, arc discharge currents within power lines are being detected through the arc current control algorithm.

In this paper, we developed an algorithm to detect arc of PV power plant through frequency analysis. For arc detection based on frequency analysis, the filter should be designed to emphasize the difference between the arc state and the normal state. Therefore, in this paper, we analyzed the arc detection performance according to various filter structures. The arc detection algorithm developed in this paper extracts the filtering signal on current by using various filters and then calculates the frequency components and total energy using the FFT. In the final step, the arc is detected using the calculated energy magnitude. In order to verify the performance of the proposed arc detection algorithm, experiments were conducted on 51 kW solar inverters connected to power line. Through various experiments, it was confirmed that the proposed method effectively detects the arc.

Molded Circucit Breaker(MCCB) is a most widely used device to protect loads from the over-current in low power level distribution system. When the MCCB interrupts the over-current, the arc discharge occurred between fixed contact and moving contact to create hot gas. By the Lorentz force due to arc current, the occurred arc is bent to the grids. The grids extend and cool and divide it for arc extinguish. In the majority cases, the MCCB protects loads by interrupting the over-current successfully but in some cases the re-ignition is occurred by hot-gas created during process of interruption. The re-ignition arises when the recovery voltage(RV) is more higher than the recovery strength between contacts and it leads to interruption fault. Therefore to find out the dielectric recovery characteristics of protecting device has a great importance for preventing interruption fault. In this paper, we studies measurement method of the dielectric recovery characteristics considering inherent attribute of the MCCB. To measure the dielectric recovery characteristic of MCCB, we makes an experiment circuit for applying the over-current and the randomly recovery voltage. The measurement methode to find out the dielectric recovery voltage of the MCCB was established and the result was based on experiment results.
