Development of Online Monitoring System to Vacuum Pressure of Vacuum Arc Extinguish Chamber

摘要

The vacuum pressure of vacuum circuit breakers (VCBs) is an important condition to ensure its operational performance, online monitoring of the vacuum pressure of VCBs is an important issue for reducing the accident rate of VCBs and the losses of personnel and property, achieving the intelligence of VCBs. In this paper, 10kV ring network switch cabinet (RNSC) is regarded as the object of study, to achieve its online monitoring. Through analyzing the magnetic field outside the vacuum arc extinguish chambers when the vacuum pressure of VCBs increases, a new method which is based on the comparison of the interphase magnetic field between the corresponding vacuum arc extinguish chambers in RNSCs then monitor the vacuum pressure of VCBs is proposed and demonstrated, and the result established a theoretical basis on the research of the online monitoring system of the vacuum pressure for the vacuum arc extinguish chambers.
