Ultra Wide Band Radio (UWB) is also known as the impulse radio (IR). It will become one of the most competitive technologies, especially in the high speed data transmission, high precision positioning, tracking and other fields; it has broad application prospects in the future. The main function of the highvoltage circuit breaker in the power grid is breaking, closing and carrying run normal cu...

The fault current development in a circuit breaker during a pole-to-ground fault is analyzed for a generic multiterminal HVDC system based on Voltage Source Converters. The paper aims to contribute to the current discussion of which requirements on breaking time and peak current HVDC circuit breakers need to fulfill in such networks either based on OHLs or cables. Therefore, the fault current i...

The electrical substation components are often subject to degradation due to over-voltage or over-current, caused by a short circuit or a lightning. A particular interest is given to the circuit breaker, regarding the importance of its function and its dangerous failure. This component degrades gradually due to the use, and it is also subject to the shock process resulted from the stress of iso...

A circuit breaker is widely used to protect electric power system from fault currents or system errors; in particular, the opening mechanism in a circuit breaker is important to protect current overflow in the electric system. In this paper, multibody dynamic model of a circuit breaker including switch mechanism was developed including the electromagnetic actuator system. Since the opening mech...

High voltage circuit breaker is one of the most important switch apparatus in electrical power system. It play a role in the switch control, which can be used to switch the operating mode during normal operation (the equipment run or quit). In order to ensure the normal operation of the grid, it can be removed quickly when a malfunction on the device or circuit. Real-time online monitoring of h...
