Abstract:During the normal operation of power grid, the circuit breaker provides an important guarantee for the safety of power grid. Pneumatic operating mechanism is an important part of circuit breaker, and the reliability of operating mechanism greatly affects the reliability of circuit breaker. So it is very important to ensure the reliability of pneumatic operating mechanism. Aiming at the phenomenon of instant opening after closing of CQ6 pneumatic operating mechanism for circuit breaker of GIS equipment manufactured by Xi′an Xidian Switchgear Co., Ltd., the root causes of mechanism defects are analyzed from the aspects of electrical circuit, mechanism mechanical transmission, parts and materials detection and so on.Finally, it is concluded that the abnormal opening and closing operation of the mechanism has nothing to do with the parts, materials and design. The main reason is that the return spring of opening iron core is too short and the elastic force is insufficient. The treatment and preventive measures are put forward for reference.
