초록

In modern EHV (Extra High Voltage) class GCBs (Gas Circuit Breakers), the interruption capability for SLF (Short Line Fault) is one of the most important aspects of performance required for GCBs. Up to now, the SLF interruption capability of EHV class GCBs was partially assisted by the adoption of capacitors able to decrease the dV/dt of the TRV (Transient Recovery Voltage), particularly the TRV on the line side. This paper describes the technique to increase the SLF interruption capability of EHV class GCBs as well as the procedure to develop capacitorless l70kV 50kA GCB.
