  • In this paper, arc current controller is designed for the interruption of arc fault current which is occurred in the low voltage network. Arc in electrical network have the characteristics of low current, high impedance and high frequency. Conventional controller does not have the arc current interrupt function. Hence, arc current controller is designed for the interruption of arc fault current.

  • In this paper, an arc current controller was designed for the interruption of arc fault currents occurred in a low voltage network. Arc in an electrical network represents the characteristics of low current, high impedance, and high frequency. Conventional controllers do not have arc current interrupt functions. Thus, an arc current controller was designed for the interruption of arc fault currents.

  • This paper considers the research of the hybrid interrupter which adopts both rotating arc and thermal expansion technology. The operating principle of this device depends on rapid arc rotation due to the magnetic field created by the fault current through a coil which is mounted on contacts and also relies on the principle of thermal expansion created by arc energy in extinguishing chamber and finally causes pressure rise in expansion volume. In this research, the principle of the interrupting techniques are given and experimental results of hybrid interrupter which is developed by new technology is introduced.

  • FLIC(Fluid in cell) method has been used for analyzing a cold gas flow field in an interrupter of a circuit treater since 1970s. In this paper FLIC method is applied to calculation of a cold gas flow and then combined with the simple are analysis method in order to investigate the flow field characteristics in a puffer type interrupter rated at 145kV 40kA. The results for a cold gas flow agree with the experimental measurement well. The other results such as pressure rise, arc temperature, post-arc current and so forth am also reasonable and show the possibility that the combined program can be applied to the design of UHV interrupters.

  • This paper proposes an arc fault circuit interrupter (AFCI) using the distorted voltage wave in electric arc faults. It perceives a voltage instantaneously at the time of voltage drop. and occurrence. It is an AFCI of the new concept which operates with high reliability. The primary reason of electric fire is arc and spark. It prevents an electric fire or an electric leakage accident with quick responsiveness. Earth Leakage Circuit Breaker(ELB), Molded_case Circuit Breaker (MCCB) or Residual Current Protective Device(RCD) can not cut off electric arc or spark to be a major factor of electrical fire. This theory will be able to intercept an arc or a spark. which occurrence with periodic. Consequently It raises a reliability and validates a practicality of RCD.

  • In this paper, the principle of the magnetic flux generation which influences the magnitude of the arc rotation in the interrupter of rotary arc type gas circuit breaker(GCB) is explained. The several factors making the phase difference between arc current and generated flux are analyzed and used to design and manufacture the rotary arc type model GCB. The magnetic flux density is calculated for the model GCB and the calculated result compared with that of the measured one.
