기존에 사용되고 있는 초고압 가스차단기(GCB : gas circuit breaker)는 대부분 퍼퍼형(puffer type) 소호방식의 가스 차단기를 사용하였다. 퍼퍼형 소호방식은 차단동작에 있어서 대단히 큰 조작력이 요구되고 소호부 size가 큰 단점을 가지고 있다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 아크 자체의 에너지를 아크 소호에 필요한 압력상승을 일으키는 데 이용하는 자력소호방식(self-extingishing type)에 작은 체적의 퍼퍼 실린더를 병용하는 복합소호방식(hybrid extingishing type) 차단부가 개발되어 사용이 확대되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 차단기의 소호방식별 특성을 비교 분석하고 최근 사용이 확대되고 있는 복합소호방식 차단기의 고장사례 분석을 통해 개선대책을 제시하였다.

Self-blast circuit breakers utilize the energy dissipated by the arc itself to create the required conditions for arc quenching during the current zero. During the arcing period, high pressure, temperature and radiation of the arc could burn in pure SF6 gas and PTFE nozzle. Ablated nozzle shape and $SF_6$-PTFE mixture vapor affect the performance of an self-blast circuit breaker. After a number of tests, nozzle in circuit breaker is disassembled, a section of ablated nozzle is investigated precisely. Using computational fluid dynamics, the conservation equation for the gas and temperature, velocity and electric fields within breaker is solved. Before applying a section model, developed program is verified with experimental data. Performance of ablated nozzle shape is compared with original model through analysis program.

Self-blast circuit breakers utilize the energy dissipated by the arc itself to create the required conditions for arc quenching during the current zero. The high-current simulation provides information about the mixing process of the hot PTFE cloud with $SF_6$ gas which is difficult to access for measurement. But it is also hard to simulate flow phenomenon because the flow in interrupter with high current, $SF_6$-PTFE mixture vapor and complex physical behavior including radiation, calculation of electric field. Using a commercial computational fluid dynamics(CFD) package, the conservation equation for the gas and temperature, velocity and electric fields within breaker can be solved. Results show good agreement between the predicted and measured pressure rise in the thermal chamber.
