What are the key points for the selection of outdoor vacuum reclosers?
System Parameter Matching: Choose a recloser that matches the rated voltage, rated current, and short-circuit current levels of the power system. Ensure that the rated voltage of the recloser is equal to or higher than the system voltage, the rated current meets the requirements of the line load current, and the rated short-circuit breaking and making currents are greater than the maximum possible short-circuit current in the system.
Reclosing Performance Requirements: Consider the specific requirements of the power system for the reclosing function, such as the number of reclosures, reclosing time intervals, and reclosing success rate. Based on different application scenarios and power supply reliability requirements, select a recloser with appropriate reclosing performance. For example, for critical power supply lines, a recloser with a higher number of reclosures and flexible reclosing time intervals may be required.
Type of Operating Mechanism: Choose an appropriate operating mechanism based on actual needs. Spring-operated mechanisms are suitable for outdoor environments where high reliability is required and maintenance conditions are relatively poor. Permanent magnet-operated mechanisms are better suited for applications requiring high action speed and frequent operations.
Environmental Adaptability: Given the harsh conditions of outdoor environments, consider the environmental adaptability of the recloser. This includes weather resistance, pollution resistance, and water and dustproof performance. Selecting a recloser with good environmental adaptability ensures stable performance during long-term outdoor operation.
Brand and Quality: Choose well-known brands and high-quality recloser products. These products have strict quality control systems in design, manufacturing, and testing, ensuring the performance and reliability of the product. Additionally, good after-sales service is an important factor to consider when choosing a brand, as it ensures timely resolution of issues that may arise during equipment operation.
1. Environmentally friendly gas mixed insulation technology
CO ₂ and perfluoroketone/nitrile mixture gases: such as CO ₂/C ₅ - PFK (perfluoroketone) or CO ₂/C ₄ - PFN (perfluoronitrile) mixture gases. These mixed gases combine the arc extinguishing ability of CO ₂ and the high dielectric strength of perfluorinated ketones/nitriles, making them a substitute for SF ₆ in high-voltage applications. For example, CO ₂/C ₄ - PFN mixed gas has been commercially applied in high-voltage circuit breakers, with insulation and breaking performance close to SF ₆, and significantly reduced global warming potential (GWP).
Air and perfluoroketone mixed gas: In medium pressure applications, the mixture of air and C ₅ - PFK can be used as an insulation medium. By optimizing the mixing ratio and pressure, insulation performance comparable to SF ₆ can be achieved while reducing environmental impact.
2. Vacuum circuit breaker technology
Vacuum arc extinguishing chamber: Utilizing the high insulation strength and fast arc extinguishing ability in a vacuum environment, it replaces the arc extinguishing function of SF ₆. Vacuum circuit breakers are widely used in the medium and low voltage fields, especially in scenarios with high environmental requirements. Its advantages are no greenhouse gas emissions and excellent arc extinguishing performance, but it needs to solve problems such as vacuum sealing and contact materials.
Combination of vacuum circuit breaker and gas insulation: In some medium voltage switchgear, vacuum circuit breakers are used as breaking elements, combined with dry air or nitrogen as insulation media, to form environmentally friendly gas insulated switchgear (GIS) that balances insulation and arc extinguishing performance.
