Depending on the operating current and the ambient conditions, the operating temperature of vacuum interrupters (VIs) may vary. An increase in VI temperature can result from heat loss at electrical contact resistance points, whereas a significant decrease in temperature will especially occur if VIs are used in future applications in a liquid nitrogen (LN2) environment (e.g. in combination with high-temperature...
Due to the impact of arcing on the high purity surfaces and bound residual gases, current interruption operations may influence the internal pressure in vacuum interrupters (VIs). In this paper, we investigate the temporal development of internal pressure in VIs immediately after a current interruption operation, non-intrusively using the magnetron method. By means of an experimental test setup that...
In the coming years an increasing quantity of vacuum interrupters (VI) is expected to reach the end of its service life. Leading manufacturers can provide a service life of up to 30 years due to high quality standards and sophisticated production processes. However, their operating performance observed so far indicates the possibility to extend this service life, in case of non-intrusive diagnosis...
The magnetron method is well established for the internal pressure measurement of vacuum interrupters. Its application during the manufacturing process is essential for the determination of the vacuum quality. The evaluation of the magnetron measurement requires precise knowledge of the residual gas composition and the influence of the metallic surfaces in the vacuum interrupter due to gas binding...
