Abstract
Due to the absence of the natural current zero-crossing point, the dc interruption has been a critical issue in the dc system. The interruption schemes currently used are based on power electronics or precharged capacitors, leading to the high cost and complicated control strategy. In this article, a passive oscillation dc load current breaking scheme based on a vacuum interrupter is proposed. The external transverse magnetic field (ETMF) is applied to the vacuum interrupter to excite the oscillation of the arc voltage. According to the spectrum analysis of the arc voltage, a passive <italic xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">LC</i> path is designed to realize resonant oscillation with the interrupter, by which 2 kA/10 kV interruption is realized within 2 ms. The influence of the gap separation, ETMF intensity, and arcing energy on the resonant oscillation process is investigated. At last, the practicability of applying the proposed scheme in HVdc interruption is discussed.
