Optimizing Temperature Rise and Performance for 2000A Cabinets: Design & Testing Solutions

Garca
Field: Design & Maintenance
Congo

Regarding the temperature rise solution for 2000A, 800mm wide cabinets: reduce self-heating, implement rational ventilation design; 2000A solid-sealed pole column circuit breakers can also use heat sinks; use two 80×10mm busbars made of high-quality busbar material; increase contact pressure and bolt tightening torque.

For 650mm width with lightning impulse withstand voltage: do not assume that 17.5kV 95kV BIL, being a higher voltage level, necessarily requires larger dimensions and wider cabinets. Since 17.5kV is not a standard domestic voltage grade, it is not necessary to follow domestic technical standards strictly—such as the requirement that heat-shrink tubing cannot reduce clearance distances. The power frequency withstand voltage for 17.5kV is 36kV, and international creepage distance requirements are relatively lower, allowing creepage as low as 16mm/kV.

There is no need to worry about operational issues, as overseas switchgear installation requirements, operating environments, and maintenance management are generally stricter than domestic practices. When dealing with international customers, one must be practical and not focus solely on appearance. Instead, focus on meticulously manufacturing high-quality products, ensuring technical parameters are solidly guaranteed. Temperature rise and impulse withstand voltage must be verified through testing, not merely based on experience. New or modified products should not be released without proper testing, relying solely on trial reports that have no proven value.

For the short-circuit closing test of earthing switches, the standard requires internal switchgear cabinet testing. Key factors include closing speed, contact pressure, and contact material. Installation of earthing switches is rarely studied, yet the installation orientation and copper busbar routing significantly affect the closing test performance. It is essential to fully understand the dynamic and thermal stability and the short-circuit closing process to select high-quality switches. Regarding resistance distribution, appropriately increasing the shorting resistor and reducing contact resistance can lower the risk of overheating and welding. The routing of connecting copper busbars determines closing speed and whether electromagnetic forces assist or hinder closure.

For arc-resistant switchgear design, it is crucial to understand the arc release process, ensuring smooth pressure relief channels and easily opened pressure relief covers. Research the weak points of shock wave overpressure on doors, covers, and enclosures, study the thermal effects of sustained arc burning, improve the cabinet's fire resistance, and ensure rapid flame extinction.

High-quality KYN28 switchgear has a clear market positioning, with performance significantly superior to ordinary domestic metal-clad switchgear. Its technical depth, meticulous design, premium materials, comprehensive manufacturing processes, careful assembly, thorough and standardized testing, and focus on serving mid-to-high-end customers contribute to elevating industry standards.

Why Regular Transformer Maintenance Matters: 5 Serious Consequences of Neglecting It
I. Allowable TemperatureWhen a transformer is in operation, its windings and iron core generate copper loss and iron loss. These losses are converted into heat energy, causing the temperature of the transformer's iron core and windings to rise. If the temperature exceeds the allowable value for a long time, the insulation will gradually lose its mechanical elasticity and age.The temperature of each part of the transformer during operation is different: the winding temperature is the highest, fol

How to Implement Condition-Based Maintenance for Power Transformers? A Complete 4-Step Process Analysis
1. Definition of Condition-Based MaintenanceCondition-based maintenance refers to a maintenance method where decisions on whether and how to perform maintenance are determined based on the real-time operating status and health condition of equipment. It has no fixed maintenance methods or schedules. The prerequisite for condition-based maintenance is the establishment of equipment parameters and the comprehensive analysis of various operational information of the equipment, so as to make reasona

High harmonics? Your transformer may be overheating and aging fast.
This report is based on the analysis of one-day power quality monitoring data of your company's distribution system. The data shows that there is significant three-phase current harmonic distortion in the system (with a high total harmonic distortion of current, THDi). In accordance with international standards (IEC/IEEE), harmonic currents at this level have posed substantial risks to the safe, reliable, and economical operation of the power supply transformer, mainly manifested in additional h
