ABSTRACT

The Project work at BHARATH HEAVY ELECTRICALS LIMITED,


RAMACHANDRAPURAM proposed to be carried out by the following members is on
STUDY OF EHV CIRCUIT BREAKER. This project involves understanding of
various aspects of EHV circuit breaker.
Circuit breaker is considered to be one of the most critical equipment in
modern day power system. Its importance lies not only in its fault clearing ability and
protecting high value equipment connected to that system but also in maintaining
stability of the connected healthy part of the power system.
Circuit breakers can be broadly classified based on various criteria like voltage
level, interrupting media, application, external design etc. But present day breakers
are dominated by SF6 gas breakers.SF6 gas with its superior arc quenching properties
have replaced all other interrupting media.
Circuit Breakers have to perform various switching duties varying like
switching high magnitude short circuit currents, normal load currents, low magnitude
capacitor currents, reactor current switching which pose different arduous conditions
like RRRV, Recovery voltage, travelling wave voltage surges, Electromagnetic forces
while interrupting various type of currents. Breakers are designed to overcome all
those constraints and successfully interrupt all types of circuits with in specified time.
Different types of Arc quenching techniques are applied in the breakers. There
is lot of evolution in these techniques varying from first generation compressed gas
quenching technique to present day third generation technique which utilizes the arc
energy to quench it. These changes have made it possible to use low energy operating
mechanisms like spring mechanisms which are of low cost and maintenance free,
giving customer trouble less performance.
