Circuit breaker refers to the switching device that can switch, carry and disconnect the current under the normal circuit state and disconnect the current under the abnormal circuit within the specified time. It can also be used to distribute electric energy, start asynchronous motor infrequently and protect power lines and motors, When they have serious overload, short circuit, undervoltage and other faults, they can automatically cut off the circuit. Their function is equivalent to the combined equipment of fuse switch and over and under heating relay. They are generally composed of contact system, arc extinguishing system, operating mechanism, release, shell, etc.

Importance of testing circuit breakers

The circuit breaker may remain idle for several years, but in case of failure, the fault current of large kiloampere must be gradually separated within a few milliseconds. The main errors that occur on the circuit breaker are incorrect behavior, coil short circuit, mechanical connection damage / wear or insulating material. Therefore, the circuit breaker needs to be carefully tested regularly. Circuit breakers play a vital role in protecting expensive equipment from failure damage, that is, connecting and disconnecting the power supply in a reliable way; This requires field testing during installation and periodic maintenance testing during its service life to prove its reliability in order to prevent costly faults and problems that may even endanger the safety of the substation. Therefore, regularly testing the performance of circuit breakers is an essential and cost-effective part of any maintenance strategy.

Test items of circuit breaker:Vacuum degree, performance test, high and low temperature resistance, combustion performance, contact pressure, mechanical characteristics, aging test, dielectric test, corrosion test, explosion-proof test, flammability test and service lifeWait.

Contents of circuit breaker detection:

1. Whether the actual position of the circuit breaker is consistent with the mechanical indication and electrical indication, and is consistent with the actual operating conditions; The opening and closing inspection and judgment of circuit breaker operation must be based on the opening and closing mechanical indication position of the switch body. The mechanical connecting rod, crank arm, electrical indication position (traffic light), current and line TYD extraction voltage of the switch can only be used as the auxiliary judgment basis for the opening and closing of the switch;

2. Check whether the indication of SF6 gas pressure gauge is within the rated pressure range;

3. Check whether the daily operating hours of air compressor, hydraulic oil pump and spring energy storage motor have increased significantly;

4. Whether the air pressure, hydraulic pressure and spring energy storage are normal, and whether the working power supply is normal;

5. Check whether the lead and wiring board are overheated, especially in rainy days and at night, and observe whether there is steam and redness;

6. Whether the lead wire is loose, broken, and whether the fittings are deformed;

7. Whether the porcelain bushing is dirty, whether there are flashover marks on the surface and whether the porcelain bushing is damaged;

8. Corrosion;

9. Whether the terminals in the control box are well connected, whether there is corrosion and serious moisture, whether the fuse is blown, whether the small air switch automatically jumps off, whether the position of the change-over switch is correct, whether the box is well sealed, and whether there are signs of small animals in the box;

10. Whether the grounding wire is in good condition, whether there is serious corrosion and poor contact;

11. Whether the foundation of the circuit breaker sinks.
