Definitions

  • the invention relates to a multi-block hybrid vacuum circuit breaker comprising at least two blocks with at least one semiconductor component and one vacuum interrupter comprising a vacuum switching chamber for accommodating a pair of electrical contacts comprising a fixed electrical contact and an axial movable electrical contact, which can be moved in translation for switching purpose.
  • Vacuum interrupters are used for short circuit interruption and for load current switching as well.
  • circuit breakers are provided which are triggered and opened in the case of a fault situation, thereby interrupting a main current path in the circuit.
  • the circuit breakers are generally provided as mechanical switches. These switches typically have at least two electrical contacts, which are initially pressed against each other and conduct the current in normal operation.
  • nominal contacts are defined as separable contacts which conduct an operating current, or at least a major part of the operating current flowing through the switch when the switch is closed and in normal operation.
  • the vacuum interrupter might fail due to the high voltage stress after current interruption, which might lead to a breakdown.
  • a mechanism which separates the two contacts of the switch is triggered. If current is flowing at this instant, it will continue to flow through the opened gap by heating up the contacts and/or insulating gas surrounding the contacts, until the material of the contacts and/or the gas is ionized and becomes conductive, i.e. a plasma state is reached. Thereby an electric arc is created.
  • the arc can only be sustained, if the current, and with it the electric heating of the plasma, is sufficiently high. This is typically the case for fault current conditions.
  • the arc In order to break the current, the arc has to be extinguished. This can be achieved by decreasing the current and with it the heating power below a certain threshold, below which the heating is not sufficient to sustain the arc.
  • the plasma cools down and loses its conductivity. Such a situation can typically only be reached around a current zero crossing of the AC current, as with vanishing current the heating of the plasma disappears, as well.
  • vacuum interrupters can basically operate at voltage levels up to 36kV; for higher voltage applications, connection of at least two vacuum interrupters in series should be considered, also called multi-break vacuum circuit breaker.
  • the experience has shown that a vacuum breaker with two vacuum interrupters in series withstands the high voltage tests better than a single vacuum interrupter, and its insulation reliability is better as well. But when designing a circuit breaker with series vacuum interrupters, one has to take into account the inequality of voltage distribution.
  • the document US 6,498,315 B1 discloses a high-voltage switching device having at least two series-connected vacuum switching chambers.
  • the vacuum switching chambers which are disposed in series, are configured differently with regard to their physical size and/or contact configuration, such as the contact diameters, a separation between the contacts, and contact types.
  • At least one vacuum switching chamber of a first type is provided, and at least one vacuum switching chamber of a second type is provided.
  • the vacuum switching chambers are selected in such a manner that re-ignitions and restrikes of a vacuum switching chamber of the first type are coped with by at least one other vacuum switching chamber of the second type.
  • the opening of the contacts of the two vacuum switching chambers at different times is used as an additional method for operation of the high-voltage switching device.
  • the document US 7,508,636 B2 relates to a circuit breaker device comprising a main branch comprising a mechanical switch element and an auxiliary branch containing a semiconductor breaking cell, wherein the auxiliary branch being mounted in parallel with the main branch.
  • the main branch comprises a serial switching assistance module in series with the mechanical switch element, comprising a semiconductor breaking cell controllable in opening in parallel with impedance.
  • the auxiliary branch comprises a parallel switching assistance module comprising an impedance, which includes at least one capacitor type element.
  • the semiconductor breaking cell controllable in opening includes at least one serial assembly with a diode and an IGCT type thyristor.
  • the document EP 1 953 780 A1 discloses a multi-block hybrid vacuum circuit breaker according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • a mechanical switch is arranged between the two vacuum interrupters and the back-to-back arranged diodes in order to create a galvanic separation.
  • the mechanical switch might be necessary to fulfil the BIL tests requirements.
  • a third vacuum interrupter is arranged between the two vacuum interrupters in order to create a galvanic separation. Using three vacuum interrupters in series, in which one vacuum interrupter is kept without a semiconductor component, replace the function of the mechanical switch.
  • two in series connected vacuum interrupters are in parallel connected with two back-to-back arranged thyristors.
  • the one thyristor is in reverse blocking mode and the other thyristor is in forward blocking mode.
  • the thyristor in forward blocking mode can quickly switch to forward conducting mode when the gate receives a current trigger.
  • a trigger signal can be generated when a voltage drop is created through the vacuum interrupter.
  • an arcing voltage can be used to generate the trigger signal applied to the gate.
  • a multi-block hybrid vacuum circuit breaker comprising at least two blocks with at least two semiconductor components and one double break vacuum interrupter comprising a vacuum switching chamber for accommodating a pair of axial movable electrical contacts which can be moved in translation for switching purpose, and a static electrode, which separates the axial movable electrical contacts and creates an upper vacuum compartment and a lower vacuum compartment wherein the at least two semiconductor components are connected in parallel to the double break vacuum interrupter.
  • the at least two semiconductor components are diodes.
  • Figures 1 to 3 , 5a and 5b show illustrative embodiments which do not form part of the present invention.
  • Figure 1 shows a multi-block hybrid vacuum circuit breaker 1 comprising two blocks 2a and 2b with a vacuum interrupter 3a and 3b each and with one diode 7a and 7b each.
  • the vacuum interrupters 3a and 3b have a vacuum switching chamber 4a and 4b each, including a fixed electrical contact 5a and 5b each and an axial movable electrical contact 6a and 6b each, which can be moved in translation for switching purpose.
  • the electrical contacts 5a, 6a and 5b, 6b are coaxial arranged to each other and hold in contact position by several spring elements 14.
  • the diodes 7a and 7b are connected back-to-back, wherein middle connection points are connected over a mechanical switch 8 to the intermediate connection of the two vacuum interrupters 3a and 3b.
  • the mechanical switch 8 is arranged between the two vacuum interrupters 3a and 3b and the back-to-back arranged diodes 7a and 7b in order to create a galvanic separation.
  • the nominal current flows through the two vacuum interrupters 3a and 3b, wherein the electrical contacts 5a, 6a and 5b, 6b are in closed position.
  • the electrical contacts 5a, 6a and 5b, 6b are opened at the same time, wherein there is no need of precise synchronizing opening.
  • the current would flow first through the initial vacuum arcs ignited between the contacts 6a and 5a in vacuum interrupter 3a and between the contacts 5b and 6b in vacuum interrupter 3b, wherein the mechanical switch 8 is closed.
  • the voltage drop through each arc is much higher than the onstate voltage of the diode branch, and the current would immediately commute to the forward-biased diode 7b, or 7a (depending on the current polarity) which are connected in parallel to the vacuum interrupters 3b or 3a.
  • the vacuum contacts 5b and 6b of the parallel vacuum interrupter 3b are cold enough to withstand the subsequent TRV because there was almost no arcing.
  • FIG. 2 which shows an embodiment, wherein a third vacuum interrupter 3c is arranged between two vacuum interrupters 3a and 3b of the blocks 2a and 2b.
  • the third vacuum interrupter 3c is kept without a diode 7.
  • This interrupter provides galvanic separation between the two vacuum interrupters 3a and 3b so that no mechanical switch is needed.
  • the galvanic separation is realised by a fixed electrical contact 5c and an axial movable electrical contact 6c, which are arranged in a vacuum switching chamber 4c.
  • Figure 3 constitutes the same concept like Figure 1 with the difference of no mechanical switch 8.
  • the diodes 7a and 7b are replaced with thyristors 9a and 9b.
  • the replacement of the diodes 7a and 7b by thyristors 9a and 9b creates unique advantages, wherein the interruption process takes a slightly different scenario.
  • the vacuum interrupters 3a and 3b When the vacuum interrupters 3a and 3b are in closed position, the current flows through them with minimum current losses, representing the main path of current flow. Once the electrical contacts 5a, 6a and 5b, 6b are opened the current will continue flowing through the main current path, i.e. through the vacuum arcs ignited between the electrical contacts 5a, 6a and 5b, 6b at both vacuum interrupters 3a and 3b.
  • One thyristor 9a is in reverse blocking mode and the other thyristor 9b is in forward blocking mode.
  • the thyristor 9b in forward blocking mode can quickly switch to forward conducting mode when the gate receives a current trigger.
  • the trigger signal can be generated when a voltage drop is created through the vacuum interrupter 3.
  • An arcing voltage can be used to generate the trigger signal applied to the gate.
  • the vacuum arc will quickly disappear, due to high arcing voltage compared to the forward voltage drop across the thyristors 9b, and thereby establishes a full current commutation.
  • the current will continue flowing through the forward biased thyristor 9b and the vacuum arc of the vacuum interrupter 3a, until the current zero crossing.
  • the burning arc is extinguished and the thyristor 9b turns to reverse blocking mode.
  • the thyristor 9a is now in forward blocking mode while there is no arc ignition at vacuum interrupter 3a.
  • the electrical contacts 5b and 6b of vacuum interrupter 3b are cold enough to withstand the subsequent TRV.
  • FIG 4a shows an embodiment of the invention of a multi-block hybrid vacuum circuit breaker 1 with a double break vacuum interrupter 10 instead of two vacuum interrupters 3a and 3b in series.
  • the double break vacuum interrupter 10 comprises an upper vacuum compartment 11 and a lower vacuum compartment 12 which in one preferred embodiment are hermetically separated. In another embodiment, the upper vacuum compartment 11 and the lower vacuum compartment 12 are not hermetically separated.
