A Master-Slave Collaborative Control Strategy of High Voltage DC Circuit Breakers

Model-aided Diagnosis for High Voltage Circuit Breakers

ENGLISH) Motivated by economic pressures, power utilities are increasingly looking for new ways of reducing their costs while maintaining the quality of supply. A promising concept is predictive or condition based maintenance of high voltage equipment, based on continuos knowledge of each device’s condition. Power transformers and high voltage circuit breakers (HVCBs) have been the focus of att...

Reliability Based Optimal Preventive Maintenance Policy for High Voltage Circuit Breakers in Power Plants

  Electric power industry have always try to provide reliable electricity to customers and at the same time decrease system costs. High Voltage circuit-breakers are an essential part of the power network. This study has developed a maintenance and replacement scheduling model for high voltage circuit- breakers that minimize maintenance costs while maintaining the acceptable reliability. This mo...

Solid-State Circuit Breakers For Medium Voltage

How can the large power needs of future electric ships for propulsion, radar, and weapons systems be met given the prohibitive size and weight of the required number of standard 60 Hz AC generators and transformers? A solution may lie in a rugged, efficient, and compact solid-state, 10-20 kV Medium Voltage DC (MVDC) circuit breaker (Figure 1). In this paper, Diversified Technologies, Inc. will ...

AF Compact Low - Voltage Circuit Breakers

In order to protect wiring, facilities, human bodies and the like from electric accidents such as overcurrent to the load, a short circuit, ground fault or earth leakage of an electrical line, low-voltage circuit breakers, as typifi ed by molded case circuit breakers (MCCB) and earth leakage circuit breakers (ELCB), are installed in every type of machine, equipment, facility and building that u...
