基于多场耦合的塑壳断路器分断双弧特性及影响因素分析

Analysis of Breaking Double Arc Characteristics and Influencing Factors of Molded Case Circuit Breaker Based on Multi-field Coupling

  • 摘要: 双断点塑壳断路器具有快速分断与双弧运动的特点,针对目前分断双弧的放电现象研究较为匮乏,探究双断点分断的电弧动态行为具有重要意义。本文基于磁流体动力学理论,依据断路器灭弧室实际尺寸,构建多物理场耦合的分断双弧仿真模型,分析电弧动态演变行为与断路器的开断特性,探究开断过程中灭弧室气体流动现象与电弧运动机理,并搭建试验平台进行分断试验,对比仿真与试验结果,在此基础上,进行驱弧磁场、烧蚀金属蒸气浓度对分断双弧特性影响的仿真分析。结果表明:分断双弧在气流场与电磁场协同作用下历经电弧生长、弧根跃迁、弧柱切割最终完成熄弧,对比弧流与弧压曲线,仿真与试验结果一致;此外,驱弧磁场对熄弧进程具有积极的促进作用,但这种作用呈现出非线性的正相关关系,且在较低磁场强度时影响更为显著;而铁蒸气的存在显著改变了高温弧柱的形态及其运动轨迹,相较于高浓度,低浓度铁蒸气对抑制弧压增长和延缓弧流下降表现更为出色。探究分断双弧的动态演变规律和开断特性,对于断路器的结构设计和性能提升具有重要意义。

     

    Abstract: The double-break molded case circuit breaker has the characteristics of fast breaking and double-arc motion. In view of the current lack of research on the discharge phenomenon of breaking double arcs, it is of great significance to explore the arc dynamic behavior of double-break breaking. Based on the theory of magnetohydrodynamics and the actual size of the arc extinguishing chamber of the circuit breaker, this paper constructs a multi-physical field coupling breaking double-arc simulation model, analyzes the dynamic evolution behavior of the arc and the breaking characteristics of the circuit breaker, and explores the gas flow phenomenon and arc movement mechanism of the arc extinguishing chamber during the breaking process. The test platform is built to carry out the breaking test, and the simulation and test results are compared. On this basis, the simulation analysis of the influence of the arc-driven magnetic field and the concentration of the ablated metal vapor on the breaking double-arc characteristics is carried out. The results show that under the synergistic action of the airflow field and electromagnetic field, the broken double arc undergoes arc growth, arc root transition and arc column cutting to finally complete the arc extinguishing. Compared with the arc current and arc voltage curves, the simulation results are consistent with the experimental results. In addition, the arc-driven magnetic field has a positive effect on the arc extinguishing process, but this effect shows a non-linear positive correlation, and the effect is more significant at lower magnetic field strength. The existence of iron vapor significantly changes the shape and trajectory of the high-temperature arc column. Compared with high concentration, low concentration of iron vapor is more effective in inhibiting the growth of arc pressure and delaying the decline of arc current. It is of great significance for the structural design and performance improvement of circuit breakers to explore the dynamic evolution law and breaking characteristics of breaking double arcs.
