PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and an apparatus, for the control of the parallel- off of a generator, in which the sound-side generator shaft of a generator main circuit can be protected from a generator-current zero-point transition phenomenon. SOLUTION: When the possibility of generation of the generator-current zero-point transition phenomenon can be estimated, individual electrical accident elements which cause the phenomenon, or the signal of the output of a generator lockout relay which integrates the elements in terms of a circuit, are used. A time delay by a timer is caused deliverately. Synchronization of an event is prevented. Alternatively, when the event can be estimated through calculation, the output of the reactive power of the generator is increased. As a result, a generator-excitation current control operation, in which the generator is paralleled off in such a way that the AC current amplitude of a sound-shaft generator is increased and that a current zero pint is eliminated is constituted, so as to be built in a control mechanism. |

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To quickly, accurately size the current zero point of accident current wave from, control asymmetrical current, and diagnose the soundness of a breaker by installing a current zero point selecting means which selects the current zero point and uses as a target breaking point, and an operation starting means which calculates operation synchronizing time, sends a control operation instruction of a power switch, and starts the operation of the power switch.
SOLUTION: Current or current gradient flowing between terminals on the fixed side and the moving side of a breaker 2 connected to a power bus bar 5 is measured with a current measuring part 71 or a current gradient measuring part 72, a measured value is converted into voltage, to input in a reference phase detecting part 41A. When an opening instruction is sent to the breaker 2, the reference phase detecting part 41A measures current zero point time and a current gradient zero point time of each phase, and detects a reference point every 1/4 cycles. Current wave form is predicted based on detected reference points, an opening phase control operation based on optional time is made possible, and short circuit fault current or load current is accurately interrupted in short control time and prescribed arc time.

A phase control switching system for controlling opening and closing timings of a power switching device to suppress the occurrence of an exciting rush current or a make-and-break surge voltage which is severe to system equipment such as a transformer, a reactor and a capacitor bank, or for controlling an arcing time of a circuit breaker to put the circuit breaker into operation for the arcing time leading to no-re-ignition or for the optimal breaking time. In the phase control switching system, a current measuring section or a current gradient measuring section is provided to measure a current value or a current gradient value of a current to be broken or introduced, and a reference phase detecting section estimates a current zero point of a current waveform on the basis of the measurements. Subsequently, a control section, upon receipt of an opening/closing command, an opening phase control operation using an arbitrary time point after the current waveform estimation as a reference. |

The steep initial rate of rise of the transient recovery voltage across the poles of a circuit breaker just after a fault current break is decreased. The breaking performance in the case of a short-circuit fault to ground taking place in an electrical power transmission system at relatively as near a place as several kilometers apart from the circuit breaker, that is a short-line-fault is improved by a saturable reactor having a capacitor connected in parallel therewith to the circuit breaker in series. As a result, as the saturable reactor changes from the magnetically saturated state to the unsaturated state just before the zero point of the fault current, the self-inductance of the saturable reactor gradually increases and an LC resonance is produced between the self-inductance of the saturable reactor and the capacitor connected to the saturable reactor in parallel. Therefore, the peak value and the time period of the current flowing from the saturable reactor can be controlled to control the initial rate of rise of the transient recovery voltage. |

A control circuit and method are provided for a circuit interrupter that predicts the occurrence of fault-current zero crossings. This prediction is utilized to control the operation of a circuit interrupter at a desirable point in the periodic wave form of the fault current. For example, the control circuit is useful to control a synchronous interrupter by accurately generating a trip signal to the synchronous interrupter for operation in the vicinity of the zero crossing of the current wave form. In a preferred arrangement, the control circuit utilizes the quotient of a sensed current signal and the time rate of change of the sensed current signal. In one specific arrangement for circuit environments that might include conditions that could lead to false results, the time rate of change of the quotient is utilized to provide a control signal. |

There is described method and apparatus to obtain synchronized switching of switchgear. A superposition of forces is used wherein the moving contacts of switchgear driven by a conventional operating mechanism has a secondary force, either opposing or aiding, superimposed upon the mechanism force under predetermined conditions to incrementally either slow down or speed up the moving contact. The computed secondary force is applied by a small servo-motor attached to the moving contact shaft. The energy of the secondary force is derived from a real time comparison of the measured position of the moving contact with its preprogrammed position in ROM at each predetermined point on the voltage or current waveform. From this comparison the required pulse energy is calculated and fed to the servo-motor which translates into the secondary force of appropriate duration thereby making the necessary incremental velocity correction. These corrections cause the moving contact to follow a preprogrammed time-distance curve such that there is a smooth time convergence of contact make and the zero voltage cross-over. The secondary force is much smaller than the mechanism force and serves only to correct for changes in moving contact travel time to closure caused by environmental effects such as temperature, pressure and age, as well as from waveform changes due to waveform distortion and frequency changes. |

A first puffer chamber is formed by a puffer cylinder having a substantially cylindrical flange portion and a shaft portion, and a fixedly disposed piston. The piston is formed in a cylindrical shape sealed with respect to an external space, and is constituted to be accommodated in the flange portion of the puffer cylinder at the circuit breaking position of the circuit breaking unit. The internal space of the piston is constituted as a second puffer chamber which is designed to communicate with the first puffer chamber. The gas accumulated in the second puffer chamber is continuously blown out toward between the electrodes, thereby prolonging an effective interruptable arc time span without increasing the size of the circuit interrupting unit and operating unit. |

Discloses a fault current responsive opening control for an AC circuit breaker which is capable of fully separating its contacts within an operating time of less than 4 milliseconds following reception of a tripping signal from the control. The control comprises means for measuring during each full loop of fault current the time period from zero crossing to peak current. Means responsive to the length of this time period delivers a tripping signal to the circuit breaker at a point between peak current and the immediately following current zero if the measured time period exceeds a preselected value at least as great as said operating time.
