Abstract:
The rising amount of medium voltage direct-current systems requires novel solutions for DC switching. The interruption of direct-currents is accomplished by enforcing a current zero, which can only be achieved when the arc voltage of the switching device raises above the grid voltage. On way to achieve this, is to force the arc into narrow channels by an imposed fluid flow. The increasing arc voltage than not only depends on increased cooling due to phase change but also on the mechanical elongation of the arc enforced by the fluid stream. Hence, the interaction of the fluid flow and the arc should be studied in more detail. For this, the switching characteristic of selected dielectric liquids are examined. Using a self developed setup, direct-current interruptions at a constant voltage of 10kV were carried out. Our results indicate, that the process of enforcing a current decay strongly depends on the mechanical resistance of the liquids to deform under the pressure of the electric arc.
