    摘要: A solid-state circuit breaker with fault current conduction is described. The circuit includes a power sensor connected to a power line having an up-stream side and a down-stream side. The output of the power sensor is conveyed to a switch selection circuit that identifies a line disturbance on the power line. In response to a line disturbance, the switch selection circuit generates a set of output signals. The output signals force the opening of a fault current interruption circuit including a set of turn-off thyristors. The turn-off thyristors respond to the line disturbance within a fraction of a power signal cycle to provide isolation between the up-stream side and downstream side of the power line. An alternate power source may then be applied to the down-stream side of the power line. If the line disturbance exists on the down-stream side of the power line, the output signals force the closing of a fault current conduction circuit including a set of thyristors connected in series with a reactor. The closing of the fault current conduction circuit forces the conduction of a fault current from the reactor that allows the activation of circuit breakers positioned on the down-stream side of the power line. As a result, a conventional hierarchical circuit breaker control strategy is maintained.

    摘要: An electrical power system protection device includes a circuit breaker and a switch connected in series to a power line. The protection device also has a current limiting element connected in parallel to the circuit breaker. When the level of electrical current flowing in the power line, detected by a current detector, has exceeded a predetermined first set level, a first over-current detector delivers immediately a trip command to the circuit breaker. As a consequence, fault current is commutated to the current limiting element so that any drop of voltage in the power line upstream of the circuit breaker is greatly suppressed. When a state in which a predetermined second set level is exceeded by the detected current level is continued beyond a predetermined period, a second over-current detector delivers an off command to the switch, thus protecting the upstream portion of the power line against the fault in this power line. The current level is set to fall within a range which activates a momentary element of an over-current relay of a receiving end breaker of a downstream sub-system connected to the power line. In the event of a failure in the downstream power line, the receiving end breaker is tripped immediately so that the sound portion of the power line is reset to a normal state of operation.

    摘要: A zone selective interlock module is interposed between a pair of upstream and downstream static trip circuit breakers for controlling the short-time and ground fault zone selective interlock functions of the breakers. When a signal is received from a downstream static trip breaker, the module transmits a low-level interlock signal to a static trip breaker upstream. The interlock signal, in turn, activates the programmer circuit of the upstream breaker causing a shift in the upstream programmer time delay characteristics. The module also provides an energy storage feature to ensure the integrity of the interlock function in the event that the control power is lost upon the occurrence of a fault.

    摘要: A current transformer and current sensing relay are used to determine the maximum conduction time of the main interrupter in a power circuit. The operating time of the current sensing relay is less than that of the main interrupter but greater than that of a plurality of branch interrupters.

    摘要: An overcurrent signal is replicated by current mirrors for joint processing by a long-time trip mode network and a short-time trip mode network pursuant to initiating a circuit breaker trip function after an adjustably predetermined delay predicated on the overcurrent signal magnitude. The former network measures signal against a sloping I.sup.2 t portion of an established trip time curve, while the latter optionally measures the overcurrent signal against a second I.sup.2 t curve portion terminating in a selected one of plural fixed time delay curve portion. Short-time delay zone selective interlocking between upstream and downstream breakers and long-time delay pickup indication are also disclosed.
