1.1 概述
吉布 3 电站机组出口断路器采用瑞士 ABB 公司生产的 HECS-80 型号断路器，该断
路器采用 SF6 气体作为灭弧介质。
机组断路器铭牌参数如下：
额定最高电压 23kV
额定频率 50Hz
额定电流 10500A
灭弧介质 SF6
相间距离 1150mm
1.2 断路器的定义
断路器是指能够关合、承载和开断正常回路条件下的电流并能在规定的时间内关
合、承载和开断异常回路条件下的电流的开关装置。
1.3 断路器的功能
断路器的作用是切断和接通负荷电路，以及切断故障电路，防止事故扩大，保证
安全运行。
2.1 advantages of SF6 circuit breaker
1) high withstand voltage of contact. SF6 circuit breaker has high dielectric strength
and strong arc extinguishing ability, and the required series contact under the same
voltage is less than that of oil circuit breaker.
2) there are many times of breaking fault current and long maintenance period.
Because SF6 gas can recover itself after decomposition, and the decomposition
products under the action of arc do not contain carbon and other substances that
affect the internal insulation, the insulation strength of the gas will not decrease, so
that the maintenance period will be extended.
3) good open circuit performance. Due to the high thermal conductivity of SF6 gas ,
good cooling effect on contacts and conductors, no oxygen inside, no oxidation even
at high temperature, so the circuit breaking performance is good.
4) small floor area and strong anti pollution ability.
2.1 SF6 断路器的优点
1) 断口耐压高。 SF6 断路器介质强度高 , 灭弧能力强 , 在同一电压下所需串联的
断口少于油断路器。
2) 遮断故障电流的次数多，检修周期长。因 SF6 气体分解后可以自行恢复，在
电弧作用下的分解物不含有碳等影响内绝缘的物质，所以断路后气体的绝缘强度
不下降，使检修周期延长。
3) 断路性能好。由于 SF6 气体分子导热率高，对触头和导体的冷却效果好，内
部又不存在氧气，即使高温下也不存在氧化的，因此断路性能好。
4) 占地面积小，抗污染能力强。
3.1 interrupting chamber
within the interrupting chamber,SF6 gas is used for both arc extinguishing and internal
insulation.The external insulation is air.For the interruption,a combination of self-
extinguishing and the puffer principle is used.A design optimised to achive a
significant reduction in operating energy.This self-pressurising principle allows high-
breaking capacities as well as almost overvoltage-free interruption of small (inductive)
currents. Separate contact systems for breaking and for continuous current carrying
are used. This allows wear/erosion of the continuous current contacts and ensures
trouble-free current carrying even after a large number of operations.
3.1 灭弧室
在灭弧室内， SF6 气体用于灭弧和内绝缘，外绝缘为空气。断路器分断时，采用
了自熄和吹气原理相结合的设计。这种设计可显著降低操作能量。这种自增压原
理允许高分段能力和几乎无过电压的小电流 ( 感应 ) 断流。分断和连续载流采用
单独的接触系统。这允许连续电流触点的磨损 / 侵蚀，并确保即使在大量操作后
也能无故障地承载电流。
3.2 Hydraulic spring drive
The hydraulic spring operating mechanism combinesthe advantages of a hydraulic ope
rating mechanism with those of a spring energy storage system. Energy storage is acco
mplished with the aid of a disk spring assembly, with the advantages of high long-term
stability, reliability and non-influence of temperature changes. Tripping of the operatin
g mechanism and energy output are based on proven design elements of the hydrauli
c operating technique, such as control valves and hydraulic cylinders .The operating m
echanism is based on the so-called differential piston principle (between the larger pis
ton head side area and the smaller piston rod side area). For the closing operation the
piston head side is isolated from the low pressure and simultaneously connected to th
e high pressure oil volume. As long as the pressure is maintained, the piston remains i
n the CLOSED position. A pressure controlled mechanical interlock prevents movemen
t of the piston to the OPEN position in case of a pressure drop
3.2 液压弹簧传动
液压弹簧操动机构结合了液压操动机构和弹簧储能系统的优点。储能采用碟形弹
簧组件，具有长期稳定性高、可靠性好、不受温度变化影响等优点。操作机构的
跳闸和能量输出基于液压操作技术的成熟设计元素，如控制阀和液压缸。操作机
构基于所谓的差动活塞原理（在较大的活塞头侧面积和较小的活塞杆侧面积之
间）。对于合闸操作，活塞头侧与低压隔离，同时连接到高压油量。只要保持压
力，活塞就保持在合闸位置。压力控制的机械联锁装置防止在压力下降时活塞移
动到分闸位置
For the opening operation, the piston head side is isolated from the high pressure and
simultaneously connected to the low pressure oil volume.The charging state of the spr
ing disk assembly is controlled by switching elements, actuating the pump motor to im
mediately maintain the oil pressure. For emergency use or maintenance, charging of t
he spring disk assembly and tripping is possible locally. The fully integrated constructio
n has no hydraulic pipe connections of any kind.
A non-return valve between pump and high-pressure oil volume prevents pressure
loss in the event of a pump outage. The hydraulic system is hermetically sealed against
atmosphere (no corrosion). The mechanically operated position indicator provides
relible indication of the circuit-breaker position.
The drive operates all three breaker poles simultaneously by mechanical linkages, thus
keeping the switching time difference between the poles to a minimum
分闸操作时，活塞头侧与高压隔离，同时与低压油量相连。弹簧组件的充油状态
由开关元件控制，启动泵电机以立即保持油压。对于紧急使用或维护，弹簧组件
的充电和跳闸在本地是可能的。完全集成的结构没有任何类型的液压管道连接。
泵和高压油量之间的止回阀可防止泵停机时的压力损失。液压系统对大气密封
（无腐蚀）。机械操作位置指示器提供断路器位置的可释放指示。
驱动器通过机械连杆同时操作所有三个断路器极，从而将极间的切换时间差保持
在最小值
OPENING CLOSING
3.3 SF6 gas density monitoring system
The breaking capacity of an SF6 circuit-breaker and the dielectric withstand level acros
s its open contacts is dependent upon the density of the SF6 gas.Under the condition
of constant volume the gas density is independent of the gas temperature, while the
pressure varies with the temperature. It is therefore more practical to measure and us
e the gas density rather than the pressure for circuit-breaker supervisory purposes.
The functional principle of the density monitor is shown in below diagram. The densit
y monitor operates according to the reference-volume-density principle, The density o
f the gas in the circuit-breaker chamber is compared with the density of the gas in a se
aled reference gas volume. When the gas density drops below the specified value, the
density monitor signals the loss of SF6 gas in several steps
It is mounted on the crankcase of the middle pole.Since the gas volumes of the three
breaker poles are connected via the refilling pipe only one SF6 gas denity monitor per
breaker is required to supervise the gas density.
3.3 SF6 气体密度监测系统
SF6 断路器的分断能力和开触点的介电耐受水平取决于 SF6 气体的密度，在容量
一定的条件下，气体密度与气体温度无关，压力随温度变化。因此，测量和使用
气体密度比用于断路器监控目的的压力更为实际。
密度监视器的功能原理如下图所示。密度监视器根据参考体积密度原理工作，将
断路器室中气体的密度与密封参考体积中气体的密度进行比较。当气体密度降到
规定值以下时，密度监视器分几步发出 SF6 气体减少的信号
它安装在中间杆的曲轴箱上，由于三个断路器杆的气体体积通过加注管连接，因
此每个断路器只需要一个 SF6 气体密度监测器来监测气体密度。

Counter
During remote closing, the control signal flows to the closing coil along the red line in the figure, the closing coil gets power, and GCB is closed. After GCB is clo
sed, S0 (07 / 08) is closed, K1 relay gets power, K1 relay auxiliary normally open contact is closed, K1 relay auxiliary normally closed contact is open, GCB con
trol circuit is open, GCB is no longer closed.
远方合闸时，控制信号沿图中红线流向合闸线圈，合闸线圈得电， GCB 合闸。 GCB 合闸之后， S0(07/08) 闭合， K1 继电器得电， K1 继电器辅助常开触点闭合，
K1 继电器辅助常闭触电断开， GCB 控制回路断开， GCB 不再合闸。
When the circuit breaker is closed to the permanent fault circuit, the relay protection
acts and the circuit breaker trips; if the closing command of the circuit breaker is not r
eleased at this time, the circuit breaker will be closed again, so the repeatedly closing
and opening - closing and opening of the circuit breaker is called circuit breaker
bouncing.The occurrence of bouncing may cause the circuit breaker to explode.
当断路器合闸于永久性故障电路时继电保护动作，断路器跳闸；若此时断路器合
闸命令仍未解除，断路器将再次合闸，这样断路器反复合分 - 合分称为断路器跳
跃。跳跃情况的发生，可能致使断路器爆炸。
