Arc simulation under overvoltage in switchgear has great significance to its design and retrofit. This article simulated the thyristor switched capacitor in transformer substation by EMTDC/PSCAD, in which, different way of restrike was considered and overvoltage waveform was obtained.
Reducing the probability of restrike during capacitive current breaking is the ultimate solution to limit overvoltage. In this paper, a new design of vacuum circuit breaker with a very low probability of restrike is proposed based on the analysis of restrike mechanism.
Relying on a capacitor to fail in an overvoltage condition in order to protect some other equipment is a bad design practice. Capacitors may fail open, short, or somewhere in between; unpredictability makes for poor protection. And I''ve personally seen overvoltaged
The discharge positions of no. 7642 and no. 7612 BP1113 filters were also the bottom frames of the capacitor tower. 3 Discharge mechanism and restrike influence analysis 3.1 Restrike filter The influence of the breaker restrike on its own filter was first analysed. As ...
When capacitor banks are installed in a back-to-back arrangement (two or more capacitors close to each other), the energization of the second bank looks like a short circuit to the first bank. This causes the first capacitor bank to discharge into the second capacitor bank resulting in high inrush currents.
The dielectric breakdown that happens within 1/4 cycle after current interruption is called as a restrike, which will not generate severe overvoltage. However, when it happens after 1/4 cycle after current interruption, it is called as a reignition, which may generate severe overvoltage.
Using resistor–capacitor (RC) snubber, a new installation scheme is proposed to suppress the overvoltage in the OWF. The results indicate that the proposed scheme can not only reduce the peak and steepness of overvoltage but also damp the high-frequency oscillation.
