차단기 메커니즘의 안전성은 클로징 메커니즘 작동 시 접점 이후의 속도 감소를 통한 오픈 샤프트가 래치에 걸리는 래칭(latching) 구간에서의 유지 시간 개선을 통해 확보된다. 이는 오픈 래치가 복귀할 시간을 확보하여 재 차단되는 현상을 줄이기 때문이다. 본 연구에서는 캠 윤곽 최적화를 통해 기존의 구동 성능을 만족하고 래칭 구간에 대한 메커니즘의 안전성을 확보하고자 가동부의 변위 응답 중 래칭이 발생하는 구간에서의 유지 시간을 개선하였다. ADAMS 를 이용한 차단기 다물체동역학 모델을 개발하였으며 시험 결과와 비교하여 검증하고 최적설계 프로그램인 PIAnO 를 사용하여 캠 윤곽의 최적설계를 수행하였다. 캠 윤곽의 최적설계는 캠의 반경 방향으로 설계점을 선정하였으며 설계구간별 민감도 분석을 수행하였다. 최적화 결과 래칭 구간에서의 유지 시간을 개선하였다.

100톤급 굴삭기에 장착할 수 있는 초대형 유압브레이커 개발을 수행하였다. 유압브레이커 설계에 앞서 타격에너지, 분당 타격수 등의 성능을 예측할 수 있는 유압브레이커 해석 방법에 대해 연구하였다. 해석 결과를 바탕으로 초대형 유압브레이커의 설계 및 제작이 이루어졌으며, 유압브레이커가 성공적으로 작동함을 확인하였다. 실제 유압브레이커 작동 시 타격에너지와 분당 타격수를 측정하여, 해석 결과와 비교하였다. 분당 타격수 해석 결과는 큰 오차 없이 실험 결과를 잘 예측하였지만, 타격에너지 해석 결과는 실제 실험 결과와 매우 큰 차이가 나타남을 확인하였다. 초대형 유압브레이커를 성공적으로 개발하였으며, 향후 마찰, 유압회로 등을 고려하여 타격에너지 해석 방법을 보완할 예정이다.

High speed DC circuit breakers (HSCB) are indispensable for protection of DC electric subway substations from fault current. However, the HSCB has mechanical contact to wear, which requires rather frequent maintenance, we have succeeded in developing and manufacturing a GTO DC circuit breaker using GTOs and ZnO varistors. In this paper, we describes the outline of the system itself, its characteristics and test data.

This paper describes the operating characteristic analysis of the PM-type linear oscillatory actuator used as a magnetic circuit breaker for the electromagnetic field, electric circuit, and mechanical motion problems. Transient calculations are based upon a 2D finite element magnetic field solution including non-linearity of materials. Changes of the dynamic characteristics from the eddy current in the plunger are quantified from finite element analysis. A new laminated model is proposed to decrease the eddy current effect.

In these days the Vacuum Circuit Breaker(VCB) is used in most medium voltage level because VCB has merits of simple structure, long life, free maintenance and environment friendly characteristics. Most of VCBs adopt mechanical spring drive mechanism to operate vacuum interrupter, but this mechanism is composed of many components and needs frequent maintenance works. In this paper, we study about the VCB drive mechanism with Permanent Magnet Actuator (PMA). Design methods and design flows about PMA are presented. The magnetic equivalent circuit is used for elementary and detailed design to determine the size of PMA. Finite Element Method (FEM) analysis is performed to evaluate the behavior characteristics of PMA in both static and transient state. Finally we manufacture sample PMA and verify FEM analysis through experiments.

In this paper the controlled closing algorithm to locate contact touch instants within the span in which the making voltage is minimized is proposed with the characteristics of circuit breakers such as RDDS(rate of decrease of dielectric strength) and a mechanical operating tolerance taken into account. The analytic results on the voltages across circuit breaker terminals upon closing operation play an important roles as references to describe the suggested method. Even though in the case of the isolated neutral capacitor banks, it is possible to decide the optimum contact instants without any dedicated procedures.

An air circuit breaker (ACB) is an electrical protection device that interrupts abnormal fault currents that result from overloads or short circuits in a low-voltage power distribution line. The ACB consists of a main circuit part for current flow, mechanism part for the opening and closing operation of movable conductors, and arc-extinguishing part for arc extinction during the breaking operation. The driving mechanism of the ACB is a spring energy charging type. The faster the contact opening speed of the movable conductors during the opening process, the better the breaking performance. However, there is a disadvantage that the durability of mechanism decreases in inverse proportion to the use of a spring capable of accumulating high energy to configure the breaking speed faster. Therefore, to simultaneously satisfy the breaking performance and mechanical endurance of the ACB, its driving mechanism must be optimized. In this study, a dynamic model of the ACB was developed using the MDO(Mechanism Dynamics Option) module of CREO, which is widely used in multibody dynamics analysis. To improve the opening velocity, the Taguchi design method was applied to optimize the design parameters of an ACB with many linkages. In addition, to evaluate the improvement in the operating characteristics, the simulation and experimental results were compared with the MDO model and improved prototype sample, respectively.

In this paper, we present an analysis of dynamic characteristics of an electromagnetic actuator for circuit breakers. It is indispensable to simultaneously analyze magnetic, electric, and mechanical phenomena to obtain the dynamic characteristics of the electromagnetic actuator because these phenomena are closely related to each other in an electromagnetic actuator system. The magnetic equations are computed by using the finite element method (FEM). The electric equations and the mechanical equations, which include the time derivative terms, are calculated by using the time difference method (TDM). The calculated results, which have been obtained by means of the FEM and the TDM, are presented with experimental data.

Dictionary meaning of circuit-breaker is a mechanical switching device, capable of making, carrying and breaking currents under normal circuit conditions and also making, carrying for a specified time and breaking currents under specified abnormal circuit conditions such as those of short circuit. and it had been recognized as being operated simultaneously. Controlled Switching System(CSS), which is technology for individual pole operation, are widely used to reduce transient phenomenon, for example switching surges, inrush current, for a all switching cases and nowadays it have become and economical solution for a switching place. The conventional solution to these problem is the use of pre-insertion resistors of $520{\Omega}$. However, it is recognised that the cost for products and maintenance are expensive and this apparatus makes more complex the circuit-breaker mechanism. Korea Electric Power Cooperation (KEPCO) has been study for relevant CCS technology since pilot application in substation in 2003 and plan to apply the actual power grid in 2017. This paper deals with the investigation of international CCS operation status and preview for application in KEPCO power grid.

본 논문은 사고전압 감지형의 아크차단 제어회로에 대한 연구로써, 전기사고 발생 시 선간전압의 순간적인 전압감쇠를 감지하여 기존 차단기를 동작시키는 전압감지형 전기화재 예방장치이다. 현재 저압배전 계통에 사용중인 누전차단기, 배선용차단기 그리고 RCD 등은 전기화재의 주요 요인인 아크사고에 대해 보호능력이 없는 것으로 분석된다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제점들을 개선하기위하여 이전의 전류감지에 의한 아크사고 차단방식이 아닌 사고발생 시 전압파형의 왜곡을 이용한 새로운 전압감지형 아크차단 제어회로를 개발하여 전기화재를 예방하고자 한다. 제안한 아크차단 제어회로는 소형 경량으로 제작되는 장점과 다양한 동작분석을 통하여 그 실용성을 검증하였다.
