ABSTRACT

To demonstrate the principles involved, a prototype sulfurhexafluoride (SF6) interrupter was tested to determine the interrupting limits under both short-line and bus fault recovery voltages.
Energy balance failures associated with short-line faults occurred at
lower currents than dielectric failures under bus fault conditions.
Some method of control is indicated for the line-side component of
recovery voltage to take full advantage of the inherent interrupting
capabilities of the design.
A resistor has been used in other designs3 to control the initial
rate-of-rise of recovery voltage. The ohmic value used is a trade-off
between interrupter capability and resister cost. The resister is effectively in parallel with the surge impedance of the faulted line. The
use of a resister equal to the value of the surge impedance thus cuts
the initial rate-of-rise (proportional to total resistive impedance) in
half. This is shown schematically in Figure 3. This solution is best
implemented by incorporating the resister as an integral part of the
breaker design. Additional interrupting capability can usually be obtained by using a lower ohmic-value resister at the expense of greater
duty on the resister interrupter contacts and a more expensive
resister.
An alternative method of control is the inclusion of a capacitor5
to ground on the line side of the breaker as shown in Figure 4. This
also is in parallel with the surge impedance of the line and acts to reduce the severity of the line-side component as discussed in the
following section. A feature of this approach is that the capacitor is
not an integral part of the breaker, permitting uprating of the design
if margin exists on bus fault capability.
EFFECTIVENESS OF CAPACITOR
The transient recovery rate of the line-side component is given
by the surge impedance of the line multiplied by the slope of the current at current zero6.

A prototype SF6 interrupter was used to demonstrate the influence of added line side capacitance on interrupting capability.
Preliminary tests using bus fault recovery voltages indicated the interrupter could be rated at 138 kV, 15000 MVA if this was the only
criteria. However, as discussed previously, tests under short-line fault
conditions are also required to verify an interrupter design.

zerol. This may prevent the application of the same capacitor for
carrier coupling and rate-of-rise control. This point requires further
investigation. More than three capacitors may be required: separate
capacitors for the carrier application, and one capacitor per phase
for TRV control.
It should be noted that where coupling capacitors are used as
potential devices only (no carrier), the drain coil is not used. In this
case the same device can be Psed for both a potential source and for
TRV control.
