Abstract
The rated voltage has been rising in order to minimize the losses in power transmission. The high voltage electric machines should be minimized due to the constraints of space. Therefore, the temperature of high voltage electric apparatuses easily exceeds the temperature limits. In this paper, it is investigated that how to minimize the internal temperature rising of a high voltage switchgear by adjusting the arrangement of bus bars. High voltage switchgears consist of a circuit breaker, a CT, a PT, a earthing switches, bus bars, and so on. It is very difficult to estimate the electromagnetic properties of a high voltage switchgear due to these various environments and structures. In this paper, analyses are focused on the electromagnetic characteristics of bus bars according to the arrangement method and the enclosures to simplify the electromagnetic characteristics of a switchgear. It is found that the characteristics of electric field intensity and electromagnetic losses in bus bars are influenced by the arrangement method of bus bars. However, it is confirmed that the electromagnetic characteristics of enclosures are not affected by the arrangement of bus bars. In this paper, the arrangement methods of bus bars to minimize the electric field intensity and electromagnetic losses are suggested. It is expected that the research results are helpful to design and develop an electrically reliable high voltage switchgear.
