In spite of great performance in suppressing secondary arc, the installation of large grading capacitor may have certain negative effects on the interrupting capability of circuit breaker. As the capacitance is increased to 0.5 μF, the equivalent circuit model of the system is completely changed.
Following the closing of circuit breaker, the capacitors are discharged through the loop closed by the interrupter; the highest discharging current is associated with the initial voltage across the capacitor, along with the damping resistance. The insulating requirement for the capacitor is relatively modest.
A grading capacitor is often installed in parallel with each interrupter unit to smooth the transient recovery voltage (TRV). The effect of this equipment has been analysed mainly from the perspective of enhancing the interrupting capability.
They have little influence on the operation of the system. In the event of fault (Fig. 1c), the interrupter would be immediately opened. Then, the capacitors would be automatically inserted into the line. Normally, the capacitances are quite small, ranging from 2000 to 5000 pF .
From the perspective of electric circuit, the capacitor provides a path for the release of the energy input into the fault, and its presence would smooth the slope of the recovery voltage as well as the RRRV. The insulation level is a major consideration in the neutral reactor design .
In this study, the influence of the capacitors on the secondary arc is systematically investigated. First, the equivalent circuit for ultra high voltage transmission line is developed. Taking the capacitor into account, the formulas for the arc current and the recovery voltage, not only the steady state but also the transient, are derived.
