Circuit Breaker Analyzer System JR SAMMA PRODU GE Pow er Systems M1300 High voltage circuit breakers are extremely important for the function of modern electric power supply systems The breaker is the active link that ultimately has the role of quickly opening the primary circuit when a fault has occurred Many times the breaker has to perform its duty within a few millisec onds after months perhaps years of idly standing by Since condition based maintenance has become the established strategy for most owners and operators of electric power supply systems the need for reliable and accurate field test instruments is obvious TM 1800 Circuit Breaker Analyzer Capabilities S System platform for testing high voltage circuit breakers m Expandable modular concept high flexibility up to 48 48 timing channels m Stand alone functionality one toolbox for all breaker testing m Designed for Off line and On line measurements m Analog or digital transducers for contact travel measurements m Calibration module for stable accuracy m Predefined circuit breaker templates Automatic testing m Enhanced contact timing m Active interference suppression patent pending m Integrated static contact resistance measurement m Automatic measurement of coil voltage and current m Automatic measurement of a and b auxiliary contacts m Quick test functions m Vibration measurement s Temperature measurement CABA b2.

6. less than 2 ms even for such systems It should also be noted that breakers that perform synchronized breaking must meet more stringent requirements in both of the previously stated situations There are no generalized time limits for the time relationships between main and auxiliary contacts but it is still important to understand and check their Operation The purpose of an auxiliary contact is to close and open a circuit Such a circuit might enable a closing coil when a breaker is about to perform a closing operation and then open the cir cuit immediately after the operation starts thereby preventing coil burnout The A contact must close well in advance of the closing of the main contact The B contact must open when the operating mechanism has released its stored energy in order to close the breaker The breaker manufacturer will be able to provide detailed information about this cycle Motion Measurement A high voltage breaker is designed to interrupt a specific short circuit current and this requires Operation at a given speed In order to build up an adquate cooling stream of air oil or gas depending on the type of breaker This stream cools the elec tric arc sufficiently to interrupt the current at the next zero crossover It is important to interrupt the current in such a way that the arc will not re strike before the breaker contact has entered the so called damping zone Speed is calculated between two poin

8. to note however that the relationship between the two current peaks varies particularly with temperature This also applies to the lowest tripping voltage Dynamic Resistance Measurements DRM DRM procedures measure variations in contact resistance during breaker operation not to be confused with static resistance measurement which measures contact resistance when a breaker is closed DRM has a number of applications On certain types of breakers DRM can be used to measure the short ening of arcing contacts When breaker contact motion is measured simultaneously with resistance the results can be used to determine the length of the arcing contact In some cases breaker manufac turers can supply reference curves for the type of contact in question In another application timing measurements can be performed on a breaker with both sides grounded and it is difficult because of practical considerations to disconnect one side from ground If a sufficiently high current is used about 250 A or higher there will be a noticeable step in the voltage change when the breaker contact closes or opens in spite of the parallel ground connections Similarly DRM can be used when a breaker has parallel main contacts Example of DRM measurement 1 Motion measurement phase C 1 4 Timing phase A 5 Start of motion A The TM1800 Breaker Analyzer System can determine the condition of any circuit breaker type and model f
9. ackwards compatibility Rugged and reliable for field use s Multilingual Human M achine Interface m Enhanced reporting assessments and archiving of test results Market Trends Many new breaker technologies and designs have been introduced over the past decades At the same time the lifetime of an installed circuit breaker is often longer than 40 years This means that at most sites the vast range of existing circuit breakers with different configurations present an enormous chal lenge to the test engineers Another factor has been market driven reorgani zations of electric power utilities Frequently the established service organizations within utilities have given way to slimmed operations with outsourced maintenance and service Again this has meant that a lot of practical Know how and background history about specific breakers has been lost along the way The financial requirements on utilities have tightened as well Asset optimization has become a priority The possibility to continue using a costly circuit breaker rather than unnecessarily replacing it with a new is very interesting from this perspective as long as it does not put the safety and reliability of the electric power supply at risk This again puts the pos sibility to quickly and reliably diagnose the breaker s condition into focus The reorganizations within the industry mentioned above leading to outsourcing of service and maintenance means th

11. at reporting archiving and evaluation of test results become more critical Modern service organizations need tools and facilities to provide the breaker owner operator with reports and recommendations in formats that are suitable The Response In response to all these challenges GE Power Systems has designed the TM 1800 breaker analyzer system The objective was to incorporate all relevant test functions in one compact unit that should be flexible enough to test any circuit breaker that exists on the market In line with the Programma product line tradition the new TM1800 Breaker Analyzer System is portable and rugged making it suitable for use in any type of environment The concept is a flexible modular system that can be easily configured for any type of circuit breaker Distribution breakers with one contact per phase and one operating mechanism can easily be tested Transmission breakers often have a more complex design with several contacts per phase and separate operating mechanisms Even here TM 1800 is fully capable of capturing any parameter For example when testing circuit breakers with pre insertion resistor PIR contacts the TM 1800 automatically measures timing of the main and PIR contacts as well as the resistance value of the pre insertion resistor Furthermore with the TM1800 system test methods such as static resistance meas urement SRM dynamic resistance measurement DRM and vibration testing are eas

13. iliary contact opens 9 Current decay Coil Currents These can be measured on a routine basis to detect potential mechanical and or electrical problems in actuating coils well in advance of their emergence as actual faults The coil s maximum current if current is permitted to reach its highest value is a direct function of the coil s resistance and actuating voltage This test indicates whether or not a winding has been short circuited When you apply a voltage across a coil the current curve first shows a straight transition whose rate of rise depends on the coil s electrical characteristic and the supply voltage points 1 2 When the coil armature which actuates the latch on the operating mechanism s energy package starts to move the electrical relationship changes and the coil current drops points 3 5 When the armature hits its mechanical end position the coil current rises to the current proportional to the coil voltage points 5 8 The auxiliary contact then opens the circuit and the coil current drops to zero with a current decay caused by the inductance in the circuit points 8 9 The peak value of the first lower current peak is related to the fully saturated coil current max cur rent and this relationship gives an indication of the spread to the lowest tripping voltage If the coil was to reach its maximum current before the armature and latch start to move the breaker would not be tripped It isimportant
