Abstract

A Vacuum Circuit Breaker Model for simulation of transient overvoltages was developed by using the PSCAD/EMTDC. The Model includes the power frequency chopping current. Breaker withstand voltage, and quenching capability of High frequency currents. To verify the abilities of the breaker model, the simulation on the Lindmayer's single-phase circuit was carried out. The results show that using the proposed model, the transient overvoltages, current chopping, and multiple reignitions of vacuum breaker are properly reproduced as real phenomena. In further study, virtual chopping current will be incorporated into the model for 3 phase system.
