교류 철도차량에 사용되는 주회로차단기 (Main Circuit Breaker)는 전차선 전원을 차량 내 투입 또는 차단하는 기능을 한다. 일반적으로 주회로차단기는 판토그라프와 주변압기 사이에 위치하며, 주회로차단기의 동작시점에 따라 차량에 투입되는 전원의 위상이 변화하게 된다. 투입전원의 위상에 따라 차량 내 돌입전류, 서지전압 등의 형태로 차량 전기장치 내 의도하지 않은 과도현상이 야기될 수 있으므로, 주회로차단기의 동작은 전차선 전원의 위상각에 따라 능동적으로 제어되어야 한다. 하지만 주회로차단기는 동작신호 인가 이후, 실제 개폐 동작 시까지 일정하지 않은 동작지연시간이 존재한다. 따라서 동작 지연시간을 예측하고, 이를 고려하여 주회로차단기를 개폐시점을 제어하는 지능형 제어기가 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 주회로차단기의 투입전원 위상 제어를 위하여 동작 메카니즘 및 동작 지연요소를 분석하였다. 그리고 차단기 및 구성품 별 반복동작시험을 통하여 동작 지연시간을 분석하고, 이를 예측하기 위한 이동평균 (Moving Average) 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 또한 지능형 제어기 개발 및 제작을 통하여 제안된 알고리즘을 구현하였으며, 주회로차단기와의 연동시험을 통하여 알고리즘의 성능을 검증하였다.

The rate of rise of the fault current in DC grids is very high compared to AC grids because of the low line impedance of DC lines. In AC grids the arc of the circuit breaker under current interruption is extinguished by the zero current crossing which is provided naturally by the system. In DC grids the zero current crossing must be provided by the circuit breaker itself. Unlike AC girds, the magnetic energy of DC grids is stored in the system inductance. The DC circuit breaker must dissipate the stored energy. In addition the DC breaker must withstand the residual overvoltage after the current interruption. The main contents of this paper are to ${\cdot}$ Explain the theoretical background for the design of DC circuit breaker. ${\cdot}$ Develop the simulation model in PSIM of the real scaled DC circuit breaker for 1,800V DC railway. ${\cdot}$ Suggest design guidelines for the DC circuit breaker based on the experimental work, simulations and design process.

Main functions of Generator Circuit Breaker(GCB) is cut the generator off from the main transformers and the aux. transformers when plant trip or startup. In this paper, the design requirements For GCB of nuclear power plant is examined. NRC presented the area of review, acceptance criteria and review procedures of GCB in the SRP(Standard Review Plan). In Korea, APR1400 adapted the GCB in main power system.

The latest development flow of MCCB(Molded Case Circuit Breaker) is largely separated from which are high capability of interrupting compact of size and multi-ability in functions. As follow of development of industrial system. MCCB which are including communication function and having a ultimate interrupting capability is required in electrical system. to attain an effective limitation of the peak let-through current and the let-through energy, the arc has to move rapidly off the contacts and has to increase the arc voltage which mainly effect to interrupt. In this paper. we made high performance circuit breaker which including current limiting unit which is attached to the main which is simulated by CAE tool that are repulsion force and mechanical dynamics after that we tested and finally selected optimized for circuit breaker.

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.

A software, called touch-one, is developed about the determination of short-circuit values and protective co-ordination in power system. The used solution algorithm reviewed intensively, and the protective co-ordination determination technique presented by using the circuit-breaker's current-limitation characteristic. The protective coordination concerns the behaviour of two devices placed in series in an electrical network, with a short-circuit downstream circuit-breaker. It has two basic principles: First, discrimination which is an increasing requirement of low voltage electrical distribution systems. Second, which is less well known: cascading, which consists of installing a device, whose breaking capacity is less than the three-phase short-circuit current at its terminals and helped by main circuit-breaker. With this software, we can construct a electric-power system which is reliable and economic according to user's purpose.

In an electrical network, electrical power are transmitted by a various of protection, isolation and control electric circuit devices. This thesis deals with the protection function between circuit-breakers. The protective coordination concerns the behaviour of two devices placed in series in an electrical network, with a short-circuit downstream circuit-breaker. It has two basic principles: First, discrimination which is an increasing requirement of low voltage electrical distribution systems. Second, which is less well known: cascading, which consists of installing a device, whose breaking capacity is less than the three-phase short-circuit current at its terminals and helped by main circuit-breaker. The important advantage of cascading is to be able to install at a branch circuit-breaker of a lesser performance without endangering the safety of the installation for more economical usage. To determine and guarantee co-ordination between two circuit breakers, it is necessary to carry out a theoretical approach, first, and then confirm the results by means of standard tests. This is illustrated in appendix A of IEC 947-2.

A new type of fiber-reinforced polymeric materials for the main body and the arc chamber of the low-voltage circuit breakers was developed. The tensile and the flectional strength of the three kinds of thermoplastic resins for the cover of MCCBs(Molded case circuit breakers) increase much higher than those made of BMC that has been used. In a high current-breaking test, an experimental MCCB with the new insulating material showed no-cracks on the bodies.

In this study, the computational heat transfer of the high-voltage vacuum circuit breaker was investigated. Higher normal current-ratings and stabilized thermal characteristics become more important in existing circuit breakers in order to satisfy market needs. Increases in current-ratings have an even greater effect on the Joule heating in the main circuit of the breakers. The thermal design must account for this increase in heat produced for the breaker to meet various temperature-rise limits set by industry standards. We are studying to enhance the normal current-ratings without major frame change of our present production models. As the method used in this research, we performed the computational analysis using the commercial Package, ICEPAK. We could get optimized thermal design suitable for 25% upgraded normal current-ratings through parametric study.
