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.

In electric power system, the circuit breaker is not operated when the higher voltage then the rated TRV(transient Recovery Voltage) appeared in the circuit breaking, The TRV of a circuit breaker means the characteristics of reignition by the arc between two poles. and is decided by the value of connecting Impedance. In this paper we of carried out many kinds of experiments varying the types of bus, the types of installation, the length of installation between 22.9 [kV] level circuit breaker and MTR in general 154/22.9[kV] system, We also simulated the characteristics of TRV using EMTP-RV program. The suitability of TRV in assessed by Uc, RRRV(Rate of Rise of Recovery Voltage) which are defined by the international guide, IEC62271-100. The values of RRRV gained from the cable-made bus are 590[%] lesser than those from the NSPB-made bus respectively. So the triangled type is more rational in the aspect of TRV.

본 논문은 인천지역 345kV 계통고장전류 저감을 위한 한류리액터 설치에 따른 362kV 50kA 차단기의 과도회복 전압 정격 초과 여부를 EMTP을 활용하여 검토하였다. 과도회복전압(TRV : Transient Recovery Voltage)은 크게 두가지, 최대전압(Vp)과 초기과도회복전압상승율(RRRV:Rate of Rise of Recovery Voltage)로 구분하며, 리액턴스 성분이 증가하며 RRRV가 상승하여 차단기가 고장전류을 차단시 절연파괴(열파괴)로 이어질 수 있다. IEC 62271-100 규정에는 RRRV를 정격차단전류의 100% 크기(T100%) 차단시 2kV/us이내로 규정하고 있으며 이 보다 작은 전류의 T90, T75 차단시의 규정치는 계산식에 의해 정해진다.

This paper presents the small current interruption capability of $SF_6$ puffer circuit breaker considering pre-condition. Firstly, the change of dielectric strength of the 3 breakers was compared with testing breakers as clean contacts and eroded contacts after 3 shots of 760 according to new IEC 62271-100 standard. Also the dielectric strength curve of each model was calculated through flow and electric field simulations. From these results, we could modify the empirical equation, being used to predict the dielectric strength of small current interruption capability, considering the effects of pre-condition.

The synthetic short-circuit making test to adequately stress the circuit breaker has been specified as the mandatory test duty in the IEC 62271-100. The purpose of this test is to give the maximum pre-arcing energy during making operation. And this requires the making operation with symmetrical short-circuit current that is established when the breakdown between contact gap occurs near the crest of the applied voltage. Also, if the interrupting chamber of circuit breakers is designed as the type of common enclosure or the operation is made by the gang operated mechanism that three-phase contacts are operated by one common mechanism, three-phase synthetic making test is basically required. Therefore, several testing laboratories have developed and proposed their own test circuits to properly evaluate the breaker performance. With these technical backgrounds, we have developed the new alternative three-phase making circuit.

본 논문에서는 송전급 전력계통 적용을 위한 축자계 방식의 전극 구조를 갖는 진공 인터럽터의 전자계 해석 및 설계에 대해서 기술하였다. 상대적으로 극간 거리가 먼 초고압 진공인터럽터의 전극 구조로 축자계 방식을 채택하였으며, 효과적인 아크 확산 면적을 확보하기 위하여 자계 해석을 통해 전극 사이즈를 선정하였다. 또한, 접지된 금속외함 내에서 진공 인터럽터의 절연을 확보하기 위하여 전계 해석을 통해 전극 및 쉴드 등의 형상 설계를 수행하였다. 본 논문에서는 72.5kV 40kA 정격의 진공 인터럽터의 설계를 위한 전자계 해석 결과를 실험결과와 비교하여 설계 기준의 타당성을 검증하였고, 국제표준인 IEC 62271-100의 시험 규격에 의한 차단시험을 통하여 설계된 진공 인터럽터의 성능을 검증하였다.

The circuit breaker in an electric power system is not operated when the voltage in the circuit breaker is higher than the rated transient recovery voltage (TRV). The TRV of a circuit breaker is characterized by re-ignition of the arc between two poles and determined by the value of connecting impedance. In this study, we simulated the peak value of TRV in the AC filter of the circuit breaker. The suitability of TRV is assessed by capacitive current switching test conditions defined by the international guide IEC62271-100.

IEC(International Electrotechnical Commission) 62271-100 has been adopted for the design test of circuit breaker which is used as the main protecting device of power system. But, it is also necessary to separately receive the testing certificate in accordance with ANSI/IEEE standard for getting into the american market. Up to now, several domestic companies have completed the ANSI/IEEE testing in medium circuit breaker of distribution system, but they recently started the ANSI/IEEE testing in ultra high-voltage class of transmission and substation system. This paper introduces the testing techniques and its results for the making and breaking performance of 145kV, 40kA $SF_6$ gas circuit breaker which was firstly performed in KERI(Korea Electrotechnology Institute) by the ANSI/IEEE standard.

Because all of the short-circuit testing laboratories have the limitation of test facilities, the synthetic making test methods have been used to estimate the short-circuit making performance of the ultra high-voltage circuit breaker as the alternative to direct test methods. So, KERI(Korea Eelctrotechnology Research institute) has completed the construction of the synthetic making test facilities using the low capacity step-up transformer method which fulfill the requirements specified in newly revised IEC 62271-100 Edition 1.1(2003) and have the testing capability up to 550kV, 63kA full-pole circuit breaker. The test facilities using the low capacity step-up transformer method presented in this paper are made up of the unit equipments such as HCS(High-speed Closing Switch), ITMC(Initial Transient Making Current) circuit and UP TR(low capacity step-up transformer) and have the operating range of 17.6$^{\circ}$ $\~$ 145.1$^{\circ}$ for testing the circuit breaker rated on up to 50kA and 43.1$^{\circ}$ $\~$ 119.6$^{\circ}$ for more than 50kA.

In recent years, the companies of electric power equipment for MV and HV classes trend to develop the eco-friendly insulated(solid, eco-gas, air etc.) switchgear which replaces existent SF6 gas insulated switchgear due to environmental problems such as global warming and so on. This paper makes reference to the newly developed Solid Insulated Switchgear (SIS) which uses the eco-friendly material such as epoxy for insulation. The insulation of the solid insulated switchgear (SIS) is composed of an epoxy, vacuum and air. The solid insulated switchgear (SIS) is a slate of the art product. The advantages of SIS are advanced reliability, economical efficiency, safety, maintenance free, reduction of installation area and the protection of environment. The solid insulated switchgear (SIS) is FE Analyzed such as electromagnetic, mechanical, thermal and fluid in order to find the optimal design. Thens SIS has been verified by international standard test. (IEC 62271 - 100 and so on.) As a result of this, the solid insulated switchgear (SIS) has been estimated as an alternative for eco-friendly MV class switchgear.
