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.

A hydraulic breaker for construction machinery generally used for the destroying and disassembling of buildings, crashing road pavement, breaking rocks at quarry and so on. So the measurement of the impact energy of a hydraulic breaker is very important thing to prove its capability to manufacturers and customers. Therefore the prediction of impact energy in design process is very helpful to the most of breaker manufacturers. In this study, we carried on modeling and simulation of a hydraulic breaker to predict impact energy via commercial CAE software. The modeling and simulation of a hydraulic breaker was achieved with two parts. One is a hydraulic circuit analysis part via AMESim and the other is impact strain analysis part via ANSYS.

In recent times, gas insulated medium voltage (MV) circuit breakers (CB) form a vital component in power system network, considering its advantages such as reduced size and safety margins. Gas insulation characteristics of circuit breakers are generally measured by lightning impulse (LI) test according to IEC standard 60060-1 as a factory routine test. Considering the environmental issues of $SF_6$ gas, many research works are being carried out towards the mixture of $SF_6$ gases for high voltage insulation applications. However, few reports are only available regarding the LI withstand and streamer propagation characteristics (at both positive and negative polarity of waveform) of $SF_6/N_2$ gas mixture insulated medium voltage circuit breakers. In this paper, positive and negative polarity LI tests are carried out on 22 kV medium voltage circuit breaker filled with $SF_6/N_2$ gas mixture at different gas pressures (1-5 bar) and at different gas mixture ratios. Important LI parameters such as breakdown voltage, streamer velocity, time to breakdown and acceleration voltage are evaluated with IEC standard LI ($1.2/50{\mu}s$) waveform. Weibull distribution analysis of LI breakdown voltage data is carried out and 50% probability breakdown voltage, scale parameter and shape parameter are evaluated. Results illustrate that the $25%SF_6+75%N_2$ gas filled insulation considerably enhances the LI withstand and breakdown strength of MV circuit breakers. LI breakdown voltage of circuit breaker under negative polarity shows higher value when compared with positive polarity. Results show that maintaining the gas pressure at 0.3 MPa (3 bar) with 10% $SF_6$ gas mixed with 90% $N_2$ will give optimum lighting impulse withstand performance of 22 kV MV circuit breaker.

회로차단기에서 가장 중요한 성능은 전기시스템의 이상전류를 신속하게 차단하는 것이다. 이러한 차단시간은 조작기구의 동적 특성에 의한 영향을 받는다. 따라서 회로차단기의 차단시간 단축을 위해서는 조작기구의 최적화가 이루어져야 한다. 본 논문의 가스회로차단기의 조작기는 스프링으로 구동되며 여러 개의 Latch 로 구성되어있다. Latch 들의 상대적 위치와 길이로 정의된 각 설계변수의 차단시간에 대한 영향을 분석하고 이 결과를 통해 설계변수를 선정하여 ADAMS 와 VisualDOC 의 연동을 통해 최적화를 수행하였다. Latch 들의 최적화를 통해 약 22.5% 개극시간을 향상을 확인하였다.

The breaking of a circuit in DC grid could pose a challenge because of the absence of zero-crossing instant for both current and voltage when a fault occurs. An additional fault current limiting function will be very helpful for reducing the burden of the DC circuit breaker by limiting the fault current to a reasonable value. In this paper, we studied the overcurrent characteristics of several HTS conductors so that we could use the selected conductors for the basic design work of a resistive type fault current limiting module as a part of the circuit breaking system. According to the short-circuit test results, we suggested and compared two different basic design parameters of the HTS fault current limiting module, which will be connected in series to the DC circuit breaker.

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.

High-voltage gas-insulated circuit-breaker must interrupt short-circuit current successfully when breakdown occurs in electric power system. Among many test-duties, Basic Terminal fault T100a(BTF T100a) is the one of the severest duties because of its high DC component of short-circuit current. In this paper, we developed 245kV 50kA gas circuit breaker using control circuits to reduce DC component while interrupting short-circuit current, then got good performance through high-power tests in Korea Electrotechnology Research Institute(KERI) and KEMA

The performance of circuit interruption of $SF_6$ puffer cylinder type gas circuit breaker(GCB) has been evaluated from the results of electrical insulation strength which is depend on material property, such as $SF_6$ gas density in circuit breaker tank. In order to determine circuit breaker dimension in the safety criteria. electrical field analysis has been done by finite element method. Gas density of concerned area in the circuit breaker has been calculated. In order to predict small current break performance, Electrical field analysis result must be calculated based the results of density from cold flow dynamics. The proposed method has been carried out and evaluated for 362kV class high voltage GIS.

트래킹은 대표적인 전기적인 발화원으로서 화재현장의 조사과정에서 차단기 등에서 트래킹이 식별되는 경우, 트래킹을 발화원인으로 추정한 상태에서 화재조사가 진행되고 있는 것이 실정이며, 이 때문에 방화 또는 실화 등에 의하여 화재가 발생했음에도 불구하고 발화원인이 트래킹 즉, 전기화재로 오인되는 경우가 있다. 따라서 화재현장에서 식별되는 트래킹이 화재 원인으로서 단정할 수 있는 전기적인 특이점인지의 여부를 검증하기 위하여 트래킹이 화재현장의 분위기에서 연소로 인하여 단기간 내에 발생할 개연성을 입증하기 위한 실험을 행하였다. 화재현장의 분위기를 모의하기 위하여 차단기 자체를 직접 연소시키는 연소실험과 화재분위기에서 차단기를 2차적으로 연소시키는 화재재현 실험을 행하였으며, 차단기의 제조사 및 연소상황에 따라 트래킹의 발생시기 및 위치 등에 차이가 있었으나, 모든 차단기의 전원측 부분에서 트래킹이 발생하였다. 실험결과, 차단기에서 연소만으로도 단기간 내에 트래킹이 발생할 수 있다는 사실이 입증되었으며, 화재현장의 화재원인 조사과정 중에 차단기에서 트래킹 형태가 식별되는 점만으로는 발화여부 또는 발화원인에 대하여 논단할 수 없다는 결론을 도출하였다.

A self-blast type gas circuit breaker has been studied in this study to improve efficiency of interrupting performance of short line fault(SLF). Hot gas flows of gas circuit breaker have been simulated to evaluate interruption performance using CFD. Design parameters such as various types of expansion chamber and nozzles are suggested by using simulation results. Simulated results and experimental ones are compared with previous (ones that of in under development and with capacitor) GCB. Modified new shape of an expansion chamber and nozzle has been suggested to improve the efficiency of gas flow and to provide guidelines for designing self-blast breaker with a higher interruption capability.
