Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a circuit breaker that interrupts a high-voltage direct-current circuit.
  • a typical method to achieve a higher-voltage circuit breaker used for a direct-current circuit is to increase the arc voltage, generated when the switching contacts of the circuit breaker are separated, by increasing the opening distance between the switching contacts in accordance with the circuit voltage.
  • increasing the opening distance between the switching contacts increases the size of a circuit breaker and this runs counter to the current need for downsizing.
  • a technology has been proposed as a method for interrupting a direct-current circuit without increasing the opening distance between switching contacts.
  • a semiconductor switch is connected between the switching contacts such that the semiconductor switch is in parallel with the switching contacts, and, during an opening and closing operation of the switching contacts, current is diverted to the semiconductor switch so that the arc generated between the switching contacts is immediately extinguished and thereafter the semiconductor switch is turned off to interrupt the current (for example, see Patent Literatures 1 and 2).
  • WO 2015/053484 A1 discloses a circuit breaker comprising two bistable and one monostable high-speed mechanical switches connected in series to each other, and a power semiconductor switch connected in parallel to the monostable high-speed mechanical switch.
  • all three high-speed mechanical switches start opening operations simultaneously, whereby an arc then created between the contacts of each switch results in the power semiconductor switch being turned on and the current of the monostable switch commutated to the power semiconductor switch. After that, the semiconductor switch is turned off so that the current no longer flows through the switches but is commutated to a commutate circuit.
  • An object of the present invention is to provide a direct-current circuit breaker for a high voltage that can reliably interrupt current ranging from a low current that is lower than or equal to 100 A to a fault current exceeding 1 kA.
  • a circuit breaker includes: a first switching contact that opens and closes an electrical path; a second switching contact that is connected in series with the first switching contact and opens and closes the electrical path; and a semiconductor switch that is connected to both ends of the second switching contact such that the semiconductor switch is in parallel with the second switching contact and that opens and closes the electrical path.
  • the circuit breaker includes: a first switching contact that opens and closes a direct-current electrical path; a semiconductor switch that is connected in series with the first switching contact; and a second switching contact that is connected to both ends of the semiconductor switch such that the second switching contact is in parallel with the semiconductor switch.
  • FIG. 1 is a circuit diagram illustrating the configuration of a circuit breaker according to a first embodiment of the present invention.
  • a circuit breaker 100 includes first switching contacts 1a and 1b, which are connected to a direct-current electrical path 200 and open and close the direct-current electrical path 200; second switching contacts 2a and 2b, which are connected in series with the first switching contacts 1a and 1b, respectively, and open and close the direct-current electrical path 200; a switching mechanism 3, which opens and closes the first switching contacts 1a and 1b and the second switching contacts 2a and 2b; semiconductor switches 4a and 4b, which open and close the direct-current electrical path 200 and which are connected to both ends of the second switching contacts 2a and 2b, respectively, such that the semiconductor switches 4a and 4b are in parallel with the second switching contacts 2a and 2b, respectively; trippers 5a and 5b, which, when the current flowing in the direct-current electrical path 200 exceeds a predetermined value, drive the switching mechanism 3 for a time period corresponding to the value of the current, thereby interrupting the first switching contacts 1a and 1b; and a gate drive circuit 6, which is connected to the

  • a semiconductor device 4a1 connected in anti-parallel with a diode 4a3 and a semiconductor device 4a2 connected in anti-parallel with a diode 4a4 are connected in series but with reversed polarities.
  • a semiconductor device 4b1 connected in anti-parallel with a diode 4b3 and a semiconductor device 4b2 connected in anti-parallel with a diode 4b4 are connected in series but with reversed polarities.
  • the switching mechanism 3 is driven by an operation switch (not illustrated) or by the trippers 5a and 5b and the opening operation of the first switching contacts 1a and 1b is started first.
  • an operation switch not illustrated
  • the trippers 5a and 5b When the first switching contacts 1a and 1b are opened, an arc is generated between the contacts of each of the first switching contacts 1a and 1b and the current that flows between the contacts of each of the first switching contacts 1a and 1b is limited.
  • the opening operation of the first switching contacts 1a and 1b further proceeds, the opening operation of the second switching contacts 2a and 2b is also started.
  • the second switching contacts 2a and 2b are opened, an arc is also generated between the contacts of each of the second switching contacts 2a and 2b and thus the voltage across the contacts of each of the second switching contacts 2a and 2b increases. Accordingly, the current that flows between the contacts of each of the first switching contacts 1a and 1b and between the contacts of each of the second switching contacts 2a and 2b is further limited, and the currents flowing in the second switching contacts 2a and 2b are diverted to the semiconductor switches 4a and 4b, respectively.
  • the gate drive circuit 6 stops the driving of the gates of the semiconductor switches 4a and 4b so as to turn off the semiconductor switches 4a and 4b, and thereby interruption of the direct-current electrical path 200 is completed.
  • the first switching contacts 1a and 1b are placed on the side where a load 300 is located and the second switching contacts 2a and 2b are placed on the side where the direct-current electrical path 200 is located; however, the first switching contacts 1a and 1b may be placed on the side where the direct-current electrical path 200 is located and the second switching contacts 2a and 2b may be placed on the side where the load 300 is located. It is desirable that the gate drive circuit 6 be placed closer to the load 300 than the first switching contacts 1a and 1b and the second switching contacts 2a and 2b.
  • the gate drive circuit 6 is placed between the first switching contacts 1a and 1b and the second switching contacts 2a and 2b so as to enable the interruption of power supply to the gate drive circuit 6 in any of a normal connection and a reverse connection.

  • the semiconductor switches 4a and 4b are turned on after the first switching contacts 1a and 1b and the second switching contacts 2a and 2b are closed.
  • the semiconductor switches 4a and 4b are turned off after the first switching contacts 1a and 1b and the second switching contacts 2a and 2b are opened. Therefore, direct current ranging from a low current to a ground-fault current can be reliably interrupted.
  • the switching mechanism 3 is provided, which closes the second switching contacts 2a and 2b before closing the first switching contacts 1a and 1b and opens the second switching contacts 2a and 2b after opening the first switching contacts 1a and 1b; therefore, an interrupting current flowing during the interrupting operation is diverted from the second switching contacts 2a and 2b to the semiconductor switches 4a and 4b after it is sufficiently limited due to the opening of the first switching contacts 1a and 1b. This eliminates the concern that the semiconductor switches 4a and 4b may be damaged.

Consequently, the voltage of the direct-current electrical path 200 is applied to the gate drive circuit 6 and the semiconductor switches 45a and 45b are turned on after a predetermined delay time. Although the semiconductor switches 45a and 45b are kept in an on state, because the contact resistance of the second switching contacts 46a and 46b is lower than the on-resistance of the semiconductor switches 45a and 45b, the current mainly flows in the second switching contacts 46a and 46b.

  • the arc-extinguishing device 50 is configured such that the first switching contacts are opened simultaneously with the start of the rotation of the crossbar 32 and the current is reduced to a current lower than or equal to the rated current of the semiconductor switches 45a and 45b by the time immediately before the opening distance becomes maximum.
  • the second switching contacts 46a and 46b are opened immediately before the opening distance of the first switching contacts becomes maximum and the current thus limited is diverted to the semiconductor switches 45a and 45b.
  • the current is limited also between the contacts of each of the first switching contacts 41a, 42a, 43a, and 44a and the voltage drop is also large; therefore, the supply voltage to the gate drive circuit 6, which drives the semiconductor switches 45a and 45b, drops.
  • the supply voltage drop causes power feeding to the gate drive circuit 6 to be stopped; however, due to a delay circuit of the gate drive circuit 6, the gate voltage of the semiconductor switches 45a and 45b is maintained for a predetermined period of time (for example, 15 msec). Then, after the elapse of the predetermined period of time, when the flowing current falls below or equal to the rated current, the gates of the semiconductor switches 45a and 45b are turned off so as to complete the interrupting operation.
  • the first switching contacts 41a, 42a, 43a, and 44a which open and close the direct-current electrical path 200; the semiconductor switches 45a and 45b, which are connected in series with the first switching contacts 41a, 42a, 43a, and 44a; and the second switching contacts 46a and 46b, which are connected to both ends of the semiconductor switches 45a and 45b, respectively, such that the second switching contacts 46a and 46b are in parallel with the semiconductor switches 45a and 45b, respectively.
  • the semiconductor switches 45a and 45b are turned on after the first switching contacts 41a, 42a, 43a, and 44a and the second switching contacts 46a and 46b are closed.
  • the semiconductor switches 45a and 45b are turned off after the first switching contacts 41a, 42a, 43a, and 44a and the second switching contacts 46a and 46b are opened. Therefore, direct current ranging from a low current to a ground-fault current can be reliably interrupted.
  • the fixed contacts 21 and the movable contacts 22, which come into and out of contact with the fixed contacts 21, are provided for four poles, i.e., four systems, with the fixed contact 21 and the movable contact 22 constituting the first switching contact; therefore, it is possible to interrupt a direct-current circuit that is for a higher voltage than the case where the first switching contacts are provided for two systems.
