Abstract:Aiming at the problems that the closing time and asynchronization time are seriously exceeded the standard and the low closing speed of a 220 kV GIS circuit - breaker in a substation,through the analysis of the failure phenomenon and the field verification,the abnormal reasons of mechanical characteristics of GIS circuit - breaker are found out accurately. Meanwhile,based on the field experiences,the preventive measures for operation and maintenance are put forward,which provides a reference for the operation and maintenance of similar GIS circuit - breakers.
