ONE STOP ENGINEERING SOLUTION Vol .03-Issue .11-March 2024 VACUUM CIRCUIT BREAKER Introduction Working principle interrupter interrupts an electric circuit technology was in the year of 1960 but still first The vacuum is a introduced developing technology. A circuit breaker is a device that to prevent unwarranted current caused by short circuit, typically resulting from overload. It’s basically functionality is to interrupt current flow after a fault is deducted. This is kind of circuit breaker where arc quenching takes place in a vacuum medium. The operation of switching on and closing of current carrying contacts and interrelated arc interruption takes place in vacuum chamber in a breaker interrupter. Vacuum offers high insulating strength. is called vacuum Construction The vacuum circuit breaker consists of fixed contact, moving contact and an arc shield mounted in a vacuum interrupter. The outer insulating body is made with glass and has high vacuum capacity. control The movable part mechanism by stainless steel bellows. Arc shield internal dielectric prevents deterioration of strength by preventing metallic vapours from falling on inside surface of outer insulating body. To reduce possibility of leak, permanent or tight sealing is done. connected to is When breaker operates, the moving contact separates from fixed contact and an arc is struck between the contacts. The production of arc is due to ionization of metals ions and depend very much upon materials of contact. The arc is quickly extinguished because metallic vapours, electrons, and ions produced during arc are diffused in a short time and seized by surface of moving and fixed member and shields. Since vacuum has very fast rate of recovery of dielectric strength because dielectric strength of vacuum is eight times greater than air and four times greater than sf6. Contact materials must have following properties: High density. Contact resistance must be less. High arc resist capability. A boiling point must be high to diminish arc erosion. Thermal conductivity is high to dissipate quickly the large heat produced throughout arcing Ratings and specification of vacuum circuit breaker READ MORE.... PMG DESIGN+BUILD FOOD FACTORIES. ONE STOP ENGINEERING SOLUTION Vol .03-Issue .11-March 2024 The rating of circuits breakers is generally given in MVA. VCB comes a wide variety ranging from 250 to 1500MVA. According to European standard, the commonly available preferred values for rated current are 25A, 32A, 40A, 50A, 63A, 80A, 100A, 125A PLATE HEAT EXCHANGER Conclusion Now a days, vacuum circuit breakers applications to not only medium voltage power systems but also for in high voltage transmission systems. It is because it has so many advantages characteristics such as high interruption capability, long operation life, safety and high-cost performance. After Kyoto protocol in 1997, sf6 circuit breaker is one of major problem of global warming gases, since then vacuum circuit breaker uses become widespread. Advantages It does not require any additional filling of oil or gas. The VCB is fast in operation so ideal for fault clearing and suitable for repeated operation comfortably Vacuum circuit breaker is almost maintenance free and minimum maintenance required as compared to other circuit breakers. No exhaust of gas to atmosphere and noiseless operation. No fire hazards The dielectric strength of vacuum is greater than air and sf6 circuit breaker. High dielectric strength makes possible to quench a vacuum arc within very small gap. Disadvantages it become uneconomical The main disadvantages of this circuit breaker is that voltage exceeding 38kv because at more than 38kv, two number of vacuum circuit breaker are required to be connected in series. VCB production is uneconomical if produced in small quantities. at PMG DESIGN+BUILD FOOD FACTORIES. ONE STOP ENGINEERING SOLUTION Vol .03-Issue .11-March 2024 EARTHING Introduction Earthing is arrangement by which an electrical installation is connected to means of earthing. This is usually for safety purposes although sometimes also for functional purposes, for example in case telegraph lines which use earth as conductor to save cost of retrurn wire over a long circuit. If there is fault in electrical installation, a person could get an electric shock by touching a live metal part because electericity uses the body as path to earth. for fault Earthing provides an alternate path current to flow of earth. It can be seen in power system networks, industries, domestic homes, commercial buildings. In this below diagram, we can easily see that euipment body from equipment body, pass to a human body as there is no grounding of euipment or device. This increases the risk of electrical shock. Hence earthing play an immense important role in industries, commercial building, home etc. leakage current leakage PMG DESIGN+BUILD FOOD FACTORIES. ONE STOP ENGINEERING SOLUTION READ MORE.... Vol .03-Issue .11-March 2024 Method of earthing 1.Earthing mat It is done by number of joinining of rod through copper conductor and it reduces overall grounding resistance of system. Such type of earthing helps to limiting the potential. This type of earthing used in where there is to be experinced. While designing this system following points must consider. is a high fault current 2.Earthing electrode In this earthing, we may use wire, rod, pipe and inserted verically or horizontally into ground and In distribution system there is rod of nearly 1m is used and inserted vertically into ground but in generating substations there is earthing mat is used rathan than this. 3.Pipe earthing This type of earthing is mostly used and this is considered best method as comared to other type of earthing for same soil condition. In this earthing, the galvanized steel or perforated pipe of approved length and diameter depend upon types of soil and current carried by that rod is placed upright in wet soil as shown in figurenormally size of pipe is of 40mm diameter and 2.5m in length for ordinary soil but for dry soil length may increase. When there is summer then moisture of soil decrease which cause increase in ground resistance some arrangement of water is done for water accesible or 3 or 4 buckets of water is put into a pipe which is connected to soil pit. In soil pit, there is mixed of charcoal and salt around the pipe to reduce the effective resistance of soil. this plate copper earthing, 4.Plate earthing In of either 60cm×60cm×3m or galvanized iron rod of 60 cm× 60 cm×6mm is buried in ground with it face vertically to ground and depth is not less than 3m from ground level. The ground wire connected to copper plate through nut or bolt. Copper wire is not used mostly because of high costing. The layer of soil and coke is placed in soil pit. 5.Earthing through water mains In this type of grounding, the copper or GI wire is connected to water mains through water pipe and water pipe is directly connected to earth as shown in fig. when the fault condition occurs the whole leakage current passes through water steel pipe and earthed.
