Definitions

  • the present disclosure relates to a circuit breaker with metallic enclosure as set forth in the claims. It further relates to a method of manufacturing a circuit breaker with metallic enclosure.
  • Circuit breakers with metallic enclosures generally comprise a chamber connected to the phase and a tank or enclosure enclosing the chamber.
  • the tank is electrically connected to the ground and provides a hermetically closed vessel to contain the insulating gas.
  • the chamber is subdivided into two compartments which are electrically insulated from each other. Each compartment is connected to a power line.
  • a switching actuator is provided to selectively make electric contact between the compartments or to open the contact so as to selectively close and open a circuit between the two power lines.
  • the tank is filled with a dielectric gas to cool and quench an arc occurring when switching the circuit. Moreover, unwanted discharge over gaps between components shall be avoided.
  • a gas commonly used in current circuit breaker with metallic enclosures is sulphur hexafluoride, due to the high dielectric withstand. On the other hand, leaking sulphur hexafluoride yields undesirable environmental impacts.
  • a temporary arc occurs inside the chamber. This arc heats the gas inside the chamber.
  • a flow path is provided between the interior of the chamber and an exterior volume between a wall of the tank and the chamber. It has been observed, however, that the hot gases exiting the chamber essentially displace the colder gas in the exterior volume. Mixing between the hot and the colder gases is very poor. Plumes and strains of hot gases thus become present in the space between the chamber and the tank. Those yield a lower dielectric withstand than the colder gas, which increases the propensity for spark-over between the chamber and the tank.
  • the hot gas strains or plumes may become present in the space between the chamber and the tank at the time when the peak transient recovery voltage appears after switching. Accordingly, the distance between the tank and the chamber must be sufficiently large to avoid spark-over to the tank even when adverse effects accumulate.
  • the present disclosure is related to a circuit breaker with metallic enclosure of the type initially mentioned.
  • the safety and/or the margin against spark-over between the chamber and the tank shall be increased.
  • Said replacement gas may comprise, while not being limited to, carbon dioxide; wherein the carbon dioxide may or may not be combined with dioxide, i.e.
  • a circuit breaker with metallic enclosure shall be provided which can be built, independently from the dielectric gas used, as small as possible while providing a sufficient margin against spark-over between the chamber and the tank at a given rated voltage.
  • a circuit breaker with metallic enclosure comprising a chamber.
  • the circuit breaker may in instances be one of dead tank switchgear and a gas insulated switchgear.
  • the chamber comprises a first compartment and a second compartment each having an interior volume, wherein the first and second compartments are electrically insulated from each other.
  • a switching actuator is displaceably provided inside at least one of the compartments and configured and adapted to selectively provide electric connection between the compartments.
  • a sealed tank which constitutes the enclosure enclosing the circuit breaker, encloses the chamber.
  • the tank is electrically insulated from the chamber, whereby an exterior volume is provided between a wall of the tank and the chamber.
  • Each of the compartments is connected to a line connector penetrating the tank.
  • each line connector through the tank is sealed.
  • the line connectors are electrically insulated from the tank.
  • the tank and the compartments contain a dielectric gas.
  • the interior of each compartment of the chamber is fluidly connected to the exterior volume by a flow path having an overall flow cross section.
  • the flow path between the interior volume of each of the compartments and the exterior volume is subdivided into a multitude of ducts, each duct having a partial flow cross section, a hydraulic diameter and a length, wherein the length of each duct is at least twice the hydraulic diameter of the duct.
  • the length of each duct is at least five times the hydraulic diameter of the duct.
  • the length of each duct is at least ten times the hydraulic diameter of the duct.
  • the length of each duct may be one of the aforementioned minimum values or more and 100 or less times the hydraulic diameter of the duct.
  • a gas blow of heated gas exiting the chamber resulting from an arc inside the chamber has a large contact surface with solid material while escaping from the compartment into the exterior volume, which in turn results in a reduction of the temperature of the escaping gas.
  • the comparatively large gas path length results of a delay of the heated gas exiting into the exterior volume.
  • the heated gas may thus be discharged into the exterior volume only well after the appearance of the peak transient recovery voltage, that is, after the appearance of the peak voltage between the terminals after current interruption. This yields in a lower risk of spark-over between the terminals and spark-over to the tank between the chamber and the tank.
  • An improved mixing between the hot gas emanating from the interior of the chamber and the colder gas in the exterior volume may be achieved, which in turn would yield an improved dielectric withstand of the gas in the exterior volume, again yielding a reduced propensity for spark-over to the tank.
  • the reduced gas velocity at the exit into the exterior volume results in reducing the appearance of streaks of unmixed hat gas in the exterior volume, which additionally supports reducing the propensity for spark-over to the tank.
  • the chamber comprises two compartments which are coaxially arranged adjacent each other.
  • Each compartment may, under these circumstances, have a free axial end on which the ducts for providing fluid communication between the interior volume of the respective compartment and the exterior volume is provided.
  • the switching actuator may be a rod with a longitudinal axis extending parallel to the axes of the compartments.
  • the rod may be arranged coaxially with the compartments.
  • the rod may be contained inside at least one of the compartments and may be axially displaceable along a longitudinal axis of the rod or the axes of the compartments, respectively.
  • At least one duct extends from an inlet adjacent the interior volume of a compartment to an outlet adjacent the exterior volume, wherein further a lateral fluid connection between the duct and the exterior volume is provided and joins the duct between the inlet and the outlet. While hot gases flow through the duct from inside the chamber, or compartment, respectively, colder gas from the exterior volume may thus be entrained through the lateral fluid connection. This embodiment fosters a mixing of the hot gas flowing from inside the chamber, or compartment, respectively, with colder gas from the exterior volume, resulting in a temperature reduction of the gases discharged through the duct and into the exterior volume.
  • At least one duct comprises a lateral opening in the duct wall.
  • the fluid communication between the interior volume of a compartment and the exterior volume may be provided by a bundle of tube-shaped ducts.
  • At least one duct may be at least one of curved and/or spiraled.
  • the length of a duct may be significantly enlarged when compared to an overall dimension of the duct, i.e. a linear distance between the inlet and the outlet of a duct.
  • the contact surface between the gases flowing through a duct and the walls of the duct is consequently enlarged, increasing the heat exchange between the gases and the walls.
  • a curved and/or spiraling flow path may per se yield a more intense heat exchange with the walls compared to a straight flow path. Consequently, providing a curved and/or spiraled duct supports reducing the temperature of the gas discharged into the exterior volume.
  • the increase of the overall flow path length results in a delay of the discharge of the gases caused by the switching arc. Accordingly, the hot gases with the unwanted reduction of dielectric withstand may reach critical locations only well after the appearance of the peak transient recovery voltage.
  • At least one duct is nozzle-shaped with the partial flow cross section tapering from an upstream end to a downstream end in a direction from the interior of the compartment to the exterior volume.
  • a downstream end of a first nozzle may be arranged to discharge into an upstream end of a downstream duct, wherein further more in particular the upstream end of the downstream duct may be in fluid communication with the exterior volume.
  • the downstream duct may be provided as a second nozzle, which in particular tapers form the upstream end to a downstream end.
  • the ducts may in particular embodiments be manufactured by additive manufacturing methods. This allows for more complex geometries and stronger convoluted ducts than machining the ducts, while cost is significantly reduced when compared to assembling the ducts from individual members.
  • the chamber may comprise two axial ends, wherein at least one axial end is provided with an end cap and further the ducts are provided in the end cap. More in particular, the chamber may be axially divided into the two compartments, such that each axial end of the chamber is an axial end of one of the compartments. As such, it may be provided that each compartment comprises a central end adjacent the other compartment and a free end which at the same time constitutes an axial end of the chamber. Said free end may consequently, in embodiments, be provided with the end cap as mentioned above. It is understood that the end cap may be a separate member from the chamber and may be affixed to an axial end of the chamber. The ducts may be provided by fixtures inside the end cap.
  • a circumferential wall of the end cap is provided with openings so as to provide a fluid communication between the exterior volume and at least one of the ducts.
  • end caps and in particular the fixtures inside the end cap which define the ducts may be additively manufactured members, yielding essentially the benefits as outlined above in connection with additively manufactured ducts.
  • the tank is grounded, that is electrically connected to the ground.
  • the dielectric gas contained inside the tank and the chamber may be carbon dioxide, wherein the carbon dioxide further may or may not be combined with dioxide, i.e. molecular O 2 , and/or nitrogen, and/or an organofluorine compound selected from the group of a fluoronitrile, a fluoroketone, a fluoroolefine, a fluoroether, an oxirane, a fluoroamine and mixtures and/or by-products of said gases, and further including mixtures of said organofluorine compound with carbon dioxide wherein the carbon dioxide further may or may not be combined with dioxide, i.e. molecular O 2 , and/or nitrogen.
