Le but de l'invention est de proposer une méthode non-intrusive de contrôle et de diagnostic du fonctionnement d'un disjoncteur, c'est à dire ne nécessitant pas de démonter la chambre de coupure de celui-ci.The aim of the invention is to propose a non-intrusive method for checking and diagnosing the operation of a circuit breaker, to say not requiring the disassembly of the cut-off chamber this one.

D'autres caractéristiques et avantages de l'invention apparaítront à la lecture de la description d'un mode de mise en oeuvre de la méthode selon l'invention illustré par les dessins.Other characteristics and advantages of the invention will appear on reading the description of an embodiment of the method according to the invention illustrated by the drawings.
La figure 1 montre une chambre de coupure en coupe transversale avec un capteur de pression et un capteur de position montés à l'extérieur de cette chambre.Figure 1 shows a sectional cut-off chamber transverse with a pressure sensor and a position sensor mounted outside this room.

Les figures 4a et 4b illustrent un mauvais fonctionnement du disjoncteur attribué à un blocage en position fermée de clapets disposés sur une couronne arrière du disjoncteur respectivement à la fermeture et à l'ouverture.Figures 4a and 4b illustrate a malfunction of the circuit breaker assigned to a blocking in the closed position of valves arranged on a rear ring of the circuit breaker respectively at the closing and opening.

Figure 1, un disjoncteur dit de nouvelle génération à faible
énergie de commande comprend, dans une chambre de coupure
définie par une enveloppe étanche 5 remplie d'un gaz diélectrique
comme du SF6 sous une pression de quelques bars, un contact
principal tubulaire fixe 1 qui coopère avec un contact principal
tubulaire mobile 3, le contact 3 étant mobile suivant la direction axiale
D. Le contact principal fixe 1 est solidaire d'un contact d'arc fixe 7 qui
coopère avec un contact d'arc mobile 9 solidaire du contact principal
mobile 3. Les contacts mobiles 3 et 9 sont déplacés suivant la
direction D par une tige de manoeuvre 11 qui sort par le côté 5A de
l'enveloppe 5. La tige de manoeuvre est guidée en coulissement par
un bloc support 13 monté fixe à l'intérieur de l'enveloppe en appui sur
le côté 5A.Figure 1, a circuit breaker called new generation with low control energy comprises, in a breaking chamber defined by a sealed
Le contact principal mobile 3 et le contact d'arc mobile 9 sont
coaxiaux et disposés parallèlement à la direction longitudinale D. Une
couronne avant 15 est disposée entre les deux contacts mobiles 3 et 9
dans un plan perpendiculaire à la direction longitudinale D. Elle tient
solidaire les deux contacts mobiles 3 et 9 et s'ouvre par l'intermédiaire
de clapets 151 et 152 sur un volume de soufflage V1 fermé par une
buse de soufflage 17.The movable
Une couronne arrière 19 est disposée entre les deux contacts
mobiles 3 et 9 dans un plan perpendiculaire à la direction longitudinale
D. Elle coulisse par rapport aux deux contacts mobiles et s'ouvre par
l'intermédiaire de deux clapets 191 et 192 sur un volume de
compression-dépression V2 fermé par la couronne avant 15.A
Un ressort 20 est en appui par une extrémité sur le bloc de
support 13 et par l'autre extrémité sur la face de la couronne arrière

La méthode selon l'invention met en oeuvre un premier capteur qui enregistre l'évolution temporelle de la pression régnant dans la chambre de coupure lors de l'ouverture ou de la fermeture du disjoncteur.The method according to the invention uses a first sensor which records the time evolution of the pressure prevailing in the cut-off chamber when opening or closing the breaker.
Figure 1, un capteur de pression 21 pour enregistrer l'évolution
temporelle de la pression dans la chambre de coupure est par
exemple un capteur à membrane élastique. D'une façon avantageuse,
on utilise un capteur de pression compensée en température qui se
comporte comme un capteur de pression lors de changements
rapides de pression à l'intérieur de la chambre de coupure du fait de
l'inertie thermique d'un tel capteur, et qui permet par ailleurs de
surveiller la densité du gaz diélectrique 6. Le capteur de pression est
fixé par l'extérieur sur l'enveloppe métallique 5 du disjoncteur. Le gaz
6 présent dans la chambre de coupure est mis en communication
avec le capteur de pression 21 par l'intermédiaire d'un conduit 23
formé dans l'épaisseur de l'enveloppe métallique 5.Figure 1, a
Selon un mode particulièrement avantageux, la méthode selon l'invention met en oeuvre un deuxième capteur qui enregistre l'évolution temporelle de la position du ou des contacts mobiles lors de l'ouverture ou de la fermeture du disjoncteur.According to a particularly advantageous mode, the method according to the invention uses a second sensor which records the time evolution of the position of the mobile contact (s) during opening or closing the circuit breaker.
Figure1, un capteur de position 25 pour enregistrer une évolution
temporelle de position du ou des contacts mobiles dans la chambre de
coupure est par exemple une cellule optique, ou encore un capteur
de déplacement inductif ou à effet Hall. Il est fixé à l'extérieur de
l'enveloppe métallique 5 par exemple sur le côté 5A de l'enveloppe
pour détecter le déplacement de la tige 11 suivant la direction D.Figure 1, a
Les signaux P et L produits par les deux capteurs de pression 21
et de position 25 sont fournis à une unité 30. L'unité 30 peut être une
unité d'affichage et/ou de traitement de données. Par comparaison
des signaux P et L enregistrés lors d'une opération d'ouverture et de
fermeture du disjoncteur isolé électriquement avec des
enregistrements de référence, on peut contrôler le bon
fonctionnement ou détecter un dysfonctionnement du disjoncteur
comme expliqué ci-dessous.The P and L signals produced by the two
Figure 2a, un fonctionnement de référence à la fermeture du disjoncteur se traduit par un enregistrement de référence de pression 2a1 en forme de plat et un enregistrement de référence de position 2a2 en forme de rampe montante comme indiqué par la flèche Fm.Figure 2a, a reference operation when the circuit breaker results in a pressure reference record 2a1 flat-shaped and a position reference record 2a2 in the form of a rising ramp as indicated by the arrow Fm.
Lors de la fermeture, le volume de compression-dépression V2
est initialement nul, les couronnes avant 15 et arrière 19 étant en
contact. L'enregistrement de pression 2a1 s'explique par le fait que le
déplacement du contact mobile 9 dans le sens indiqué par la flèche f
de la figure 1, provoque l'ouverture des clapets 191 et 192 de la
couronne arrière 19 qui laissent circuler librement le gaz diélectrique
de sorte qu'aucune dépression n'est créée dans la chambre de
coupure. En fin de course, les clapets se referment le disjoncteur étant
prêt pour l'ouverture.When closing, the compression-depression volume V2
is initially zero, the
Il faut noter que l'enregistrement 2a1 se termine par des
oscillations relativement rapides de la pression qui reflètent l'onde
sonore générée par le choc mécanique du contact principal mobile 3
avec le contact principal fixe 1.Note that the 2a1 recording ends with
relatively fast pressure oscillations that reflect the wave
sound generated by the mechanical shock of the moving
Figure 2b, un fonctionnement de référence à l'ouverture du disjoncteur se traduit par un enregistrement de référence de pression 2b1 incurvé et un enregistrement de référence de position 2b2 en forme de rampe descendante comme indiqué par la flèche Fd.Figure 2b, a reference operation at the opening of the circuit breaker results in a pressure reference record 2b1 curved and a position reference record 2b2 in shape of a descending ramp as indicated by the arrow Fd.
Lors de l'ouverture, le volume de compression-dépression V2 est
initialement maximal, les couronnes avant 15 et arrière 19 étant
séparées d'une distance maximale. L'enregistrement de pression 2b1
s'explique par le fait que le déplacement du contact mobile 9 dans le
sens indiqué par la flèche o de la figure 1, s'accompagne d'une
compression du gaz contenu dans le volume de compression-dépression
V2 qui correspond à une dépression dans la chambre de
coupure, et d'une compression du gaz contenu dans le volume de
soufflage V1 défini par la buse de soufflage 17. A mi-course environ,
les clapets 151 et 152 de la couronne avant 15 s'ouvrent pour égaliser
la pression du gaz dans les deux volumes de compression-dépression
V2 et de soufflage V1, et laissent échapper une partie du gaz
comprimé à travers la buse de soufflage pour éteindre un éventuel arc
électrique lorsque l'ouverture est faite en charge.When opening, the compression-depression volume V2 is
initially maximum, the
Il faut noter que l'enregistrement 2b1 se termine par des
oscillations relativement rapides portées par une oscillation plus lente
de la pression qui reflètent l'onde sonore générée par le choc
mécanique de la couronne avant 15 avec la couronne arrière 19.Note that the 2b1 recording ends with
relatively fast oscillations carried by a slower oscillation
pressure reflecting the sound wave generated by the shock
mechanical of the
Les figures 3a,4a,5a,6a représentent des enregistrements de pression et de position à la fermeture d'un disjoncteur sous contrôle. Les figures 3b,4b,5b,6b représentent des enregistrements de pression et de position à l'ouverture de ce disjoncteur sous contrôle. Ces enregistrements reflètent un dysfonctionnement du disjoncteur.Figures 3a, 4a, 5a, 6a show recordings of pressure and position when closing a circuit breaker under control. Figures 3b, 4b, 5b, 6b show pressure records and position at the opening of this circuit breaker under control. These records reflect a breaker malfunction.
Ainsi figure 3a, la fermeture du disjoncteur sous contrôle se
traduit par deux enregistrements de pression 3a1 et de position 3a2
similaires aux enregistrements de référence 2a1 et 2a2. En revanche,
figure 3b, l'ouverture du disjoncteur sous contrôle se traduit par un
enregistrement de pression 3b1 différent de l'enregistrement de
référence 2b1 indiqué en pointillé, l'enregistrement de positon 3b2
étant similaire à l'enregistrement de référence 2b2. La différence entre
les enregistrement 2b1 et 3b1 reflète un blocage en position ouverte
des clapets 191 et 192 de la couronne arrière 19. Cette différence
peut facilement être détectée automatiquement par un programme
dans l'unité 30 de traitement de données.Thus Figure 3a, the closing of the circuit breaker under control is
translated by two records of pressure 3a1 and position 3a2
similar to reference records 2a1 and 2a2. On the other hand,
Figure 3b, the opening of the circuit breaker under control results in a
pressure record 3b1 different from the pressure record
reference 2b1 indicated in dotted lines, recording of position 3b2
being similar to the reference record 2b2. The difference between
records 2b1 and 3b1 reflect a blockage in the open position
of the
Les figures 4a et 4b illustrent un mauvais fonctionnement du
disjoncteur attribué à un blocage en position fermée des clapets 191
et 192 de la couronne arrière 19. On a encore représenté sur ces
figures les enregistrements de référence en pointillés. On voit que la
détection du dysfonctionnement se fait par détection d'une différence
entre les enregistrements 4a1 et 2a1 et 4a2 et 2a2.Figures 4a and 4b illustrate a malfunction of the
circuit breaker assigned to a blockage in the closed position of the
Il faut noter que lors de la fermeture, l'enregistrement de position
4a2 traduit l'existence d'une force de retenue importante exercée par
une dépression créée dans le volume de compression-dépression V2,
et sert à confirmer le diagnostic de blocage en position fermée des
clapets 191 et 192.Note that when closing, the position record
4a2 reflects the existence of a significant retaining force exerted by
a depression created in the compression-depression volume V2,
and is used to confirm the diagnosis of blocking in the closed position of
Les figures 5a et 5b illustrent un mauvais fonctionnement du
disjoncteur attribué à un blocage en position ouverte des clapets 151
et 152 de la couronne avant 15. On voit que la détection du
dysfonctionnement se fait par détection d'une différence entre les
enregistrements 5b1 et 2b1, 5b2 et 2b2.Figures 5a and 5b illustrate a malfunction of the
circuit breaker assigned to a blockage in the open position of the
Les figures 6a et 6b illustrent un mauvais fonctionnement du
disjoncteur attribué à un blocage en position fermée des clapets 151
et 152 de la couronne avant 15. On voit que la détection du
dysfonctionnement se fait par détection d'une différence entre les
enregistrements 6b1 et 2b1, 6b2 et 2b2.Figures 6a and 6b illustrate a malfunction of the
circuit breaker assigned to a blocking in the closed position of the
Il faut noter là encore que lors de l'ouverture, l'enregistrement de
position 6b2 traduit l'existence d'une force de retenue importante
exercée par une compression créée dans le volume de compression-dépression
V2 et sert à confirmer le diagnostic de blocage en position
fermée des clapets 151 et 152.Again, it should be noted that during the opening, the recording of
position 6b2 indicates the existence of a significant retaining force
exerted by a compression created in the compression-depression volume
V2 and used to confirm the diagnostic of blocking in position
closed
On comprend ainsi que la méthode selon l'invention permet de localiser l'élément défectueux du disjoncteur si on se réfère aux exemples des figures 3a-3b à 6a-6b. Ces figures illustrent des enregistrements d'évolutions temporelles typiques qui peuvent varier en fonction de la topologie du disjoncteur ou de l'appareillage électrique à haute tension.It is thus understood that the method according to the invention makes it possible to locate the faulty element of the circuit breaker if we refer to examples of Figures 3a-3b to 6a-6b. These figures illustrate records of typical time trends which may vary depending on the topology of the circuit breaker or switchgear high voltage electric.
Par ailleurs, une analyse en fréquence et en amplitude des oscillations dans les enregistrements de pression en fin ou en cours d'ouverture ou de fermeture du disjoncteur permet de contrôler un choc mécanique normal ou de diagnostiquer un choc mécanique anormalement élevé entre les contacts mobiles et fixes ou entre les couronnes avant et arrière.In addition, a frequency and amplitude analysis of oscillations in pressure records at the end or in progress opening or closing the circuit breaker allows you to control a normal mechanical shock or diagnose mechanical shock abnormally high between moving and stationary contacts or between front and rear crowns.
Figure 7a est représenté un enregistrement de pression représentatif d'un choc mécanique normal dans un fonctionnement de référence du disjoncteur. Figures 7b et 7c sont donnés des enregistrements de pression montrant par comparaison avec l'enregistrement précédent respectivement un choc mécanique anormal élevé en fin d'ouverture et un choc mécanique ou une vibration anormal en cours d'ouverture.Figure 7a shows a pressure record representative of a normal mechanical shock in an operation of circuit breaker reference. Figures 7b and 7c are given pressure records showing by comparison with the previous recording respectively a mechanical shock abnormal high at the end of opening and a mechanical shock or abnormal vibration during opening.
