Fault PhenomenonOn June 23, 2020, a fault occurred in the 35 kV feeder bay that was on hot standby at a 220 kV substation. This triggered the operation of the first - stage, first - time - limit voltage - restrained overcurrent protection of the low - voltage backup protection of the No. 2 main transformer and the second - stage overcurrent protection of the 350 bus tie protection. Consequently, the 352 circuit breaker on the low - voltage side corresponding to the No. 2 main transformer and the

Outdoor vacuum circuit breakers (referred to as breakers hereinafter) are widely used in the distribution network due to their advantages such as small size, light weight, fire - and explosion - proof nature, smooth operation, low noise, small open - contact clearance, short arcing time, and easy maintenance. As atmospheric pollution becomes increasingly severe, in adverse weather conditions like heavy fog, drizzle, condensation, or ice melting, partial discharge (PD) is likely to occur on the s

Outdoor vacuum circuit breakers are predominantly utilized in the Medium High Voltage (MHV) segment. They serve as a crucial component in the distribution sector, especially within 11kV and 33kV grids. A variety of composite materials are employed in the construction of these breakers. Among them, the vacuum interrupter stands out as the most vital component. For outdoor circuit breakers, the vacuum interrupter is typically encased in a porcelain housing.These breakers are connected to the opera

IntelligenceIntelligent Monitoring and Diagnosis Multi - parameter Real - time Monitoring: Outdoor vacuum circuit breakers will be extensively integrated with various high - precision sensors, which are like the "sensory nerves" of the circuit breaker. For example, displacement sensors are used to accurately measure the contact travel, keeping track of the position changes of the contacts during the opening and closing processes in real - time; speed sensors are utilized to monitor the opening a
