Abstract

The reliability of the generator circuit breaker (GCB) switching coil affects the safe and stable operation of the power system, in which the faults of abnormal voltage, poor contact, and mechanical jamming of the switching coil can easily lead to the refusal of the circuit breaker, which threatens the safety of the power grid. In order to study the fault characteristics of the GCB switching coil, this paper combines multi-physical field simulation and experimental testing, establishes the electromagnetic field simulation model of the switching coil, and analyzes the characteristics of current waveforms under typical faults such as voltage abnormality, poor contact, and core jamming. Through simulation and testing to verify the mechanism of current waveform distortion under different fault states, demonstrated the change rule of characteristic parameters when the fault occurs, and provided a basis for the diagnosis of the operation status of the switching coil based on current waveform.
