In addition to the vibration signal, the current signal can also reflect the hidden health state of a circuit breaker.
As a protective device, DC circuit breaker can rapidly and reliably disconnect the fault in case of short circuit in DC distribution network, which is the core equipment affecting the reliability of DC distribution network. Therefore, it is of enormous significance to study the excellent performance DC circuit breaker,, .
The circuit breaker is composed of four parts: main current branch, current limiting circuit, commutation branch and continuous current branch. The main current branch is composed of anti-parallel thyristor group T 0 and anti-series IGBT group VT 1 in series.
The main current limiting impedance is in the diode bridge circuit, which not only ensures that the circuit breaker is protected from high currents, but also avoids the impact on the system current control and stability. R 1 acts as a shunt to prevent sudden changes in the inductor current and also absorb the energy released by the inductor.
The continuous current branch uses the freewheeling diode to reduce the energy absorption of the non-fault side arrester and effectively shorten the fault clearing time through the input of the freewheeling resistance.
The current limiting circuit is composed of the main current limiting impedance and the auxiliary current limiting reactance. The main current limiting impedance is in the diode bridge circuit, which not only ensures that the circuit breaker is protected from high currents, but also avoids the impact on the system current control and stability.
