Automated Analysis of Circuit Breaker Operation

چکیده
In this paper a new approach to the analysis of test results for circuit breakers is discussed. It is implemented through new software called Automated Circuit Breaker Monitoring system ACBM. The circuit breaker performance is evaluated based on the analysis of Digital Fault Recorder (DFR) recordings taken from circuit breaker control circuitry. This paper describes the testing procedure and usage of the software from the user’s standpoint. It also explains the software architecture and analysis scenarios for the DFR recordings.

Investigating Impacts of Sustainable Repair Time and Circuit Breaker Model on Meshed Distribution Networks Reliability Assessment
Generally, the failure rate and the repair time of system components are constant parameters in reliability assessment of electric distribution systems. A failure of component is resulted from failing in the operation or overloading. In addition, there exist cases where, the repair times of components are small and tolerable from customer point of view. Thus, tolerable repair times may be overl...

متن کاملAutomated Analysis of Circuit Breaker Operations
The automated circuit breaker diagnostic system described in this paper is an extension of the widely used portable circuit breaker testing device concept. These traditional testing devices can be connected to the circuit breaker’s control circuit to record analog and digital signals. The operator opens and closes the circuit breaker each time the test is performed and makes the recordings. The...

متن کاملReal-time Monitoring and Assessment of Circuit Breaker Operations for Diagnostics and Control Applications
Circuit breakers (CBs) are very important elements in the power system. They are used to switch other equipment in and out of service. Circuit breakers need to be reliable since their incorrect operation can cause major issues with power system protection and control. Today’s practice in monitoring circuit breaker operation and status in real time is reduced to the use of Remote Terminal Units ...
