Abstract

The pre-charged capacitor method, used in the active current injection circuit breaker in DC system, is an effective approach to realize the current injection. However, in practical applications, the performances of post-arc among different opening speed are still unknown, which have been an obstacle that blocks the design of MV DCCB. To solve this problem, high resolution measuring equipment was used to investigate the performances of vacuum circuit breaker in post-arc period. The experimental results show that the peak value of the post-arc current can be up to 6A and the post-arc current decays to zero within 10s after current-zero. Besides, with the increase of opening speed, the fluctuation of post-arc charge increases continuously, while the average remains basically unchanged.
