Vacuum test method for vacuum circuit breaker

2023-12-15

The vacuum level test of the vacuum circuit breaker is very important. Once the vacuum is broken, the arc cannot be extinguished, causing the circuit breaker to explode. The vacuum test method is as follows:1. Visual inspection method. If the vacuum interrupter is a glass shell, it can be judged by the color of the suction film applied to the inner wall. The vacuum degree is good, and the film is mirror-shaped, and the vacuum degree is good, the film is mirror-shaped. It is milky white when the vacuum degree is different. Although this method is not very accurate, it can be used as a reference.2. Power frequency withstand voltage method. In the open state, the power frequency test voltage is carried out between the fractures, and it can withstand more than 10s under the power frequency withstand voltage, indicating that the vacuum degree is good. If the current also increases in the process of voltage increase, it is considered unqualified if it exceeds 5A. Of course, breakdown in the

What is the cause of the circuit breaker failure？

2023-12-08

UHV Power's circuit breaker tester can help many power workers to carry out various power tests more conveniently. Reason 1: Overload Overload protection is the basic function of a circuit breaker, and any circuit breaker has this function. Overload protection refers to the current in a circuit that exceeds the predetermined value of the circuit breaker. For example, if the predetermined value of the circuit breaker is 16A, and the actual current in the circuit is 17A, the circuit breaker will automatically trip. This is based on the maximum current protected by the circuit breaker, such as outlets, wires, and appliances. Accessory-free circuit breakers will almost certainly be overloaded; For circuit breakers with accessories, it is essential to observe if the accessories change. If there is no change in the fittings, it is also due to an overload of the circuit. The reason why a circuit is overloaded is that the total power of the appliances used at the same time in the circuit i

The kinematic viscosity tester of Wuhan UHV can help many power workers to carry out various power tests more conveniently.There are three measurement methods for viscosity measurement: dynamic viscosity, kinematic viscosity, and conditional viscosity.1. Dynamic viscosity: the resistance generated when two liquid layers are separated by 1 cm, their area is 1 (square centimeter), the relative moving speed is 1 cm/s, and the unit is grams/mile/second. 1 g/cm·s = 1 equilibrium General: The industrial unit of dynamic viscosity is expressed in equilibrium.2. Kinematic viscosity: When the temperature is T°C, the kinematic viscosity is represented by symbols. In the International System of Units, the unit of kinematic viscosity is ST, which is square meters per second.) means that the unit is millimeters per second (i.e., 1CST = 1M2/s). Kinematic viscosity is widely used in the viscosity determination of liquid petroleum products such as jet fuel, diesel, and lubricating oil, dark petroleum p
