This paper dealt with high speed breaking method to parallel arcing in low-voltage systems. The proposed high speed breaking circuit consists of a Rogowski coil and an integrator, and operates with an earth leakage circuit breaker (ELCB). A parallel arcing state was simulated by a short circuit using stripped wires. In this test, we analyzed tripping characteristics of the circuit breaker by the length of wires from 5m to 30m. From the experimental results, we confirmed that the proposed method can break the parallel arcing within a few millisecond.

Nowadays the diversity and large-capacity of electric appliances are strong effect on electrical fires augment in an alarming way. But, as the inactive response characteristics of the existing RCD (Residual Current protective Device) used on low voltage power distribution lines, so control of overload and electric short circuit faults, major causes of electrical fires, are not enough. Therefore this paper is confirmed the unreliability of the existing RCD by electrical faults simulation and is proposed a auxiliary trip device of RCD by using a high precision current sensor (namely, reed switch) for the prevention of electrical disasters in low voltage power distribution lines caused by overload or electric short circuit faults. The sensitive reed switch in the proposed ATD (auxiliary trip device) exactly detects the increased magnetic flux with the overload or the short current caused by a number of electrical faults, and then rapidly cuts off the existing RCD. The proposed auxiliary trip device of RCD is confirmed the excellent characteristics in response velocity and accuracy in comparison with the conventional circuit breaker through various operation performance analysis. The proposed ATD can also prevent electrical disaster, like as electrical fires, which resulted from the malfunction and inactive response characteristics of the existing RCD.

국제규격에 따라 VCB(vacuum circuit breaker), ACB(air circuit breaker), 등과 같은 전력기기들의 기계적 동작 시험 시, 시험전후의 개폐시간, 개폐속도, 동작코일전류크기, 등과 같은 특성을 측정하고 이들의 변화정도를 평가하여 시험결과를 판단한다. 그러나 시험 중에는 이러한 동작특성들을 측정하지 않기 때문에, 시험 중에 실패하는 경우, 원인 규명에 많은 어려움이 따른다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해, LS산전 PT&T(Power Testing & Technology Institutes)는 시험전후뿐만 아니라 전체시험횟수 동안 동작특성을 측정하고, 이들의 변화추이를 분석할 수 있는 시스템을 구축하고, 관련 소프트웨어를 개발하였다. 본 논문에서는 개발 내용과 결과를 소개하고자 한다.

In this paper, a new type of switchgear, electro magnetic force driving actuator (EMFA), is developed and analyzed, applicable to high voltage gas circuit breaker (HGCB). Transient analysis is performed in order to obtain the dynamic characteristics of the EMFA. The distribution of static magnetic flux is obtained using the finite element method (FEM). The governing electric and kinematical equations are solved using the time difference method (TDM). Fabrication and experiments were performed in order to prove the applicability of HGCB for overall class. In comparing the experiment with simulated data, it is confirmed that analysis of the dynamic characteristics of EMFA is appropriate for design.

A mathematical arc model based on the integral method has been developed to study the arc behaviour of $SF_6$ Puffer circuit breakers during high current period. The interaction between the compression chamber and the arc interrupter plays a critical role in determining the arc behaviour. Computations have been carried out for the puffer circuit breaker of Noeske et al.[1]. The aerodynamic behaviour and electrical characteristics of the puffer circuit breaker have been investigated. In addition, the pressure rise in the compression chamber and arc voltage have been computed and the results compared with the available experimental results of Noeske et al.[1]. Special attention has been paid to the presence of the shock.

The synthetic breaking test method was developed to evaluate the breaking performance of ultra high-voltage circuit breaker and made up of two independent circuits; current source circuit and voltage source circuit. In application of this test method, it is necessary to extend the arc of the test breaker. So, the new re-ignition system using VTGS (Vacuum Triggered Gap-Switch) was constructed to improve the efficiency and reliability of this test. In this re-ignition system, VTGS operates in high vacuum state of $5{\time}10^{17}$torr and control system consists of the triggering device and the air M-G (Motor-Generator). This re-ignition system showed the operating characteristics, such as delay time ($t_d$) and jitter time ($t_j$ not exceeding 5us and 1us respectively, and had the operating voltage of $25\~150kVdc$ at the gap distance of 24mm.

Voltage circuit breakers are widely used in power distribution systems to interrupt fault current rapidly and to assure the reliability of the power supply. Power distribution system requires the transformer with higher capacity than ever, but this ever, but this may be the cause. of the increasing of short circuit current in contrast to conventional one when short-circuit accident is occurred. Therefore molded case circuit breaker improved in aspects of interrupting capacity of short circuit current in this system is needed. By using the proposed methods in this paper, such as new arc quenching structure of grid would contribute to minimizing the MCCB, realization of high interrupting performance and reducing the design time and development cost.

In order to newly define and specify the performance and the testing method of the high-voltage circuit breaker, IEC 62271-100 was published in May, 2001 and took place of IEC 60056 which had been used since 1987. This new standard intensifies the requirement and the test method of the circuit breaker and also domestic manufacturer makes progress the new product development. And, KERI also goes on the build-up project of short-circuit testing facilities for fulfilling the testing method requirements in new IEC 62271-100. This paper introduce the limiting method of short-circuit making current by controlling the time constant of dc component.

This paper describes the principles of reignition system which has newly been developed and used as KERI's high power testing facilities. Synthetic short-circuit testing method is generally adopted to perform the short-circuit test of the ultra high-voltage circuit breakers, which consists of two separated sources such as the current source from short-circuit generator and the voltage source from charged energy in capacitor. And, in case of synthetic short-circuit test, it will be necessary to use the reignition system in order to extending the arcing time of the circuit breaker and provide the arc energy equivalent to the direct testing method.
