One of the major sources of problems with circuit breakers is that caused by the deterioration of the main switching electrical contacts. The contacts in switchgear are required to provide two main functions that are mutually incompatible.
Medium voltage circuit breakers have, over recent years, seen very significant developments in both their operating function and also in the monitoring aspects of their condition.
Electrical discharges (ED) in MV switchgear circuits are (1) Partial Discharges (PD) and (2) Partial Arcing (PA). The breakdown does not bridge the electrodes. i.e. Voids, cracks, contamination etc.
On-line condition assessment method | Component in operation at system voltage and operating temperature under mechanical and electrical stresses.
This TechTalk serves as an inspection and routine testing guide for switchgear, switchboard assemblies, and their associated components. It supports a predictive maintenance strategy.
This TechTalk serves as an inspection and routine testing guide for AC motors in support of a predictive maintenance strategy.
Surface partial discharges (PD) in stator windings rated 6 kV and above causes bright white deposits on the stator coils, and is usually caused by poorly-made or poorly-applied partly conductive and silicon carbide coatings
The condition and life expectancy of medium voltage cable networks are being confronted frequently with the question “How much longer will the cable remain functional?”
The online condition assessment technologies with large bandwidth and memory, is capable of acquiring the entire pulse shape of a large number of partial discharge signals, allowing deep partial discharge (PD) analysis to be performed. The acquisition units are provided with ultra-wide bandwidth acquisition systems, which collects not only PD pulse peak and phase (as […]
