Abstract:

In order to improve the current limiting level of the medium voltage DC circuit breaker and reduce the inherent operation time of the circuit breaker,an electromagnetic repulsion trip mechanism was designed to respond quickly to the fault short-circuit current.In this paper,the electromagnetic analysis software Ansoft Maxwell is used to simulate the dynamic characteristics of electromagnetic repulsion trip mechanism.By changing the radius and thickness of the repulsion disk and the air gap between repulsion disk and coil,the influence of various structural parameters on the performance of repulsion mechanism is obtained,which provides a basis for the design and optimization of electromagnetic repulsion trip mechanism.Finally,the motion characteristics of the mechanism are tested by experiments.The experimental results show that the dynamic characteristics of the electromagnetic repulsion trip mechanism are consistent with simulation results,and its performance index can meet the design requirements.This simulation method provides an effective way for the design and optimization of electromagnetic repulsion trip mechanism of medium voltage DC circuit breaker.

Key words: medium voltage DC circuit breaker, electromagnetic repulsion trip mechanism, dynamic characteristics, finite element analysis
