In the future, it is expected that a fault-current of 345kV power system is beyond 60kA and stability and reliability in transmission system will be more important. From these points of view, we needed a development of a circuit breaker having ability of breaking a large fault current, more than 60kA. This paper describe the specification and history of a development on 362kV 63kA 8000A GCB(Gas insulated Circuit Breaker) of which we completed a development. A development of this GCB will contribute to improve the technique to design and make GCB, and the stability and reliability of power system in our country.

In this study, BIEM(Boundary Integral Equation Method) using Green's function is applied in order to analyze 3D electric field precisely. The algorithm is developed with equivalent electric surface charge as a variable, which promises less unknown variables and higher accuracy of electric field analysis. The validity of the developed program is varified by applying it to a coaxial cylinder mode and 3-phase GIS model.

Testing capacity of KERI synthetic short-circuit testing facilities has been upgraded to fulfill the requirements up to 550kV 63kA, 1-break circuit breaker ratings. Specially the current capacity was increased 50kA to 63kA and the full type test of 362kV 63kA circuit breaker(1-break) was firstly completed in domestic. UP to now, domestic manufacturers have depended on the foreign testing laboratory for performance verification of newly designed products. This paper introduces the summary of the increased short-circuit testing facilities, the testing techniques and its results for the making and breaking performance of 362kV, 63kA circuit breaker which was Performed according to IEEE C37.06(1999) used in North America.

It is important to develop new effective technologies to increase the interruption capacity and to reduce the size of a UB(Gas Circuit Breakers). Major design parameters such as nozzle geometries and interrupting chamber dimensions affect the cooling of the arc and the breaking performance. But it is not easy to test real GCB model in practice as in theory. Therefore, a simulation tool based on a computational fluid dynamics(CFD) algorithm has been developed to facilitate an optimization of the interrupter. Special attention has been paid to the supersonic flow phenomena between contacts and the observation of hat-gas flow for estimating the breaking performance. However, there are many difficult problems in calculating the flow characteristics in a GCB such as shock wave and complex geometries, which may be either static or in relative motion. Although a number of mesh generation techniques are now available, the generation of meshes around complicated, multi-component geometries like a GCB is still a tedious and difficult task for the computational fluid dynamics. This paper presents the CFD program using CFB-CAD integration technique based on Cartesian cut-cell method, which could reduce researcher's efforts to generate the mesh and achieve the accurate representation of the geometry designed by a CAD tools.

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.
