With the expansion of power system scale and the cableization process of urban power grids, the capacitive current in 6kV/10kV/35kV power grids has significantly increased (generally exceeding 10A). As power grids at this voltage level mostly adopt neutral ungrounded operation mode, and the distribution voltage side of main transformers is usually in delta connection, lacking a natural grounding point, the arc during ground faults cannot be reliably extinguished, necessitating the introduction o

As an expert who has been deeply engaged in the field of power system design for many years, I have always paid attention to the technological evolution and application practice of medium-voltage ring main distribution equipment. As a core electrical device in the secondary distribution link of the power system, the design and performance of such equipment are directly related to the safe and stable operation of the power supply network. The following is a professional analysis of the key design

The cabling and undergrounding of urban power grid lines have become an irreversible trend in distribution network construction. High-voltage switchgear, as the core equipment of the distribution system, has become the main object of daily operation and maintenance for maintenance personnel. During the equipment iteration process, the comprehensive replacement and commissioning of new equipment have a long cycle, and a type of old hand-cranked high-voltage switchgear is still in service.Due to l

I. Market and Technical ResearchSince 2003, I have been engaged in the key project of localizing WVT-12 vacuum circuit breaker technology for Anhui Longbo Company. At that time, in the 12kV voltage class, vacuum circuit breakers had occupied more than 98% of the total circuit breakers. With the advancement of power grid construction and the growth of industrial and residential electricity demand, the domestic and international markets have shown a continuous upward trend in the demand for advanc

1. IntroductionIn the modern power grid infrastructure, high - voltage reclosers play a pivotal role in enhancing the reliability and efficiency of power supply. This is particularly crucial in regions like Indonesia, which has a vast and complex power distribution network spanning numerous islands, and Vietnam, with its developing coastal power systems. The 20kV voltage level, falling within the medium - high - voltage range, is widely adopted in urban grids, industrial power supply, and certai

High-voltage disconnect switches (HVDs) are critical switching devices in power grids, primarily used to isolate power sources in conjunction with circuit breakers. With the proposal of "digital grids," continuous advancements in high-voltage switchgear technology, and the expansion of China's power grid, HVD applications have surged in both quantity and diversity. The electric operating mechanism, a vital component controlling HVD switching movements, demands exceptional reliability and stabili
