Circuit-breaker testing
1- Circuit- breaker tests for shunt reactor
switching are covered by the following guides :
A- Technical Report IEC 1233, 1994 "High-voltage
alternating current circuit-breaker - Inductive load
switching".
B- IEEE Std. C37.015-1993 "IEEE Application Guide for
Shunt Reactor Switching".
These two documents are technically identical since they are the
result of a cooperative effort between a WG of the IEEE High
Voltage Circuit-breaker Subcommittee and a Task Force of the
IEC Technical Committee SC17A.

Circuit-breaker testing
2- Purpose of the circuit-breaker tests
a) To determine the interrupting window without reignition.
b) To determine the current chopping characteristics of the
circuit-breaker.
c) To determine the worst probable overvoltage that could
appear across the reactor and across the circuit-breaker.
Circuit-breaker testing
Tests results:
1- Re-ignition performance vs arcing time ;
2- Chopping number (overvoltage) vs arcing time ;
3- Re-ignition voltage vs arcing time.

Advantage:

the reactor;

(today's

solution;
Disadvantages :
- Need to carry special mechanical tests for the
determination of the scatter in opening times in relation
with control voltage, gas pressure, available energy in the
operating mechanism, ambient temperature, etc...;
- Electronic component (sensitivity to EMC).
53
Conclusions
- Switching of shunt reactors may produce
dielectric stresses to shunt reactors;
severe
Conclusions
- C57.21 shall prescribe maximum overvoltage levels that
shunt reactors are able to withstand as a daily event
(considering ageing and safety margin). This conclusion
can be also applicable to power transformers.
a) We propose that the maximum overvoltage produced
by current chopping shall not exceed 68% of the
rated SIWL rating of the reactor or 56% of the rated
BIL rating (68% x 83% x LIWL) if SIWL is not defined;
b) We propose that the maximum dv/dt produced
during re-ignition (if re-ignitions are allowed as a
possible daily event) to be less than 68% of the rated
CWWL of the reactor;
55
Conclusions
c) We propose to add in C57.21 that shunt reactors
rated 230 kV and above are not designed to
withstand the stresses produced by a re-ignition of
the circuit-breaker unless special measures have
been taken in the reactor design or in the circuitbreaker design.
d) We propose to add in C57.21 that in no case, the
dv/dt produced during a re-ignition should exceed
the rated CWWL of the shunt reactor.
