Abstract |
In this paper, a method for analyzing the thermal recovery characteristics of the nozzle of gas circuit breaker was described. In order to obtain thermal recovery characteristics, the transient simulation of SF6 arc plasma within the nozzle was carried out. In particular, the nozzle ablation was taken into account by simultaneously solving the PTFE concentration equation with the governing equations such as continuity, momentum and energy equation. After that, post arc current calculation was performed with the rate of rise of recovery voltage changed. From the calculated post arc current, it was possible to suggest the thermal recovery characteristics of the nozzle of gas circuit breaker. |
