Methods for estimation of the vacuum status in vacuum circuit breakers [PDF]

open access: yesIEEE Transactions on Dielectrics and Electrical Insulation, 1999
In this paper several methods are described for the estimation of the pressure inside vacuum interrupters which have been in operation for many years. The methods are applicable without demounting the interrupters and use only electrical measuring techniques.

Investigation of the Simplified Equivalent Circuit Model of the Post‐Arc Sheath Stage in DC Vacuum Circuit Breakers

open access: yesHigh Voltage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper presents a simplified equivalent circuit model (ECM) for the post‐arc sheath stage in DC vacuum circuit breakers and outlines the method for calculating circuit parameters using the particle‐in‐cell Monte Carlo collision (PIC‐MCC) method. The post‐arc sheath is modelled as a parallel combination of a variable resistor and a variable

Surface Micro‐Discharge Plasma for Multiple Teeth Bleaching: Efficacy, Mechanism and Safety

open access: yesHigh Voltage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is the commonly‐used bleaching chemical in clinical practice, but its excessive concentrations can cause tooth damage. Atmospheric pressure cold plasma is considered a promising new technique for tooth bleaching. Surface micro‐discharge (SMD) devices can generate large‐scale plasma, which holds potential for treating ...

Post‐Arc Transient Dielectric Recovery Characteristics of Vacuum Interrupter in the Large‐Capacity Generator Circuit Breaker

open access: yesHigh Voltage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Large‐capacity generator circuit breaker (GCB) based on vacuum interrupter technology is the key power equipment to ensure the safe operation of the power system. When the short‐circuit current was forced to cross zero, the large‐capacity GCB was difficult to generate a zero‐voltage environment through freewheeling, the vacuum interrupter (VI)

Effect of Magnetic Field on Different Opening Processes of Multi-Break Vacuum Gaps

open access: yesIEEE Access, 2021
Vacuum gap saturation of single break can be solved by multiple breaks in series. In different breaking processes, the unbalanced energy and charges injected into the breaks lead to unbalanced voltage distribution.
