19 Today's Performance Expectations from LTCs Low failure rate Long-term uninterrupted availability of the regulating transformer Extension of the maintenance intervals Reduction of the maintenance work Main target Reduced operating costs The Available Tool The Vacuum Interrupter 11/24/2003 Page 19
20 The Vacuum Switching Technology in LTCs One Solution for the next Generation of LTCs Historically: Rapidly wearing tungsten-copper arcing contacts in mineral transformer oil Today and Tomorrow: Primarily Vacuum Interrupters replaced by 11/24/2003 Page 20
21 The Vacuum Switching Technology in LTCs Highlights The vacuum interrupter is a hermetically sealed system arc has no interaction with the surrounding medium the switching characteristics do not depend on the surrounding medium The arc (drop) voltage in vacuum (5-10V) is considerably lower than in oil (25-30V) or SF 6 low energy consumption (~ I x U arc x t) reduced contact wear 11/24/2003 Page 21
22 The Vacuum Switching Technology in LTCs Highlights Elimination of the insulating medium as the arc quenching agent elimination of by-products e.g. carbon when using transformer oil Eliminates need of an on-line filtration system easy disposal of used insulating medium 11/24/2003 Page 22
23 The Vacuum Switching Technology in LTCs Highlights No aging of the quenching medium constant switching characteristics throughout the entire lifespan of the vacuum interrupters getter effect of metal-vapor plasma with absorption of free gas molecules No interaction/oxidation during switching high rate of re-condensation of metal-vapor on contacts significantly extends contact life consistently low contact resistance 11/24/2003 Page 23
24 The Vacuum Switching Technology in LTCs Highlights Extraordinarily fast dielectric recovery of the quenching distance of up to 10 kv/µs Ensures short arcing times (less than one half-cycle) even in the case of large phase angles between current and voltage or high voltage steepness du/dt after the current zero e.g. converter transformers 11/24/2003 Page 24
25 Reinhausen Vacuum Interrupters for LTCs Key Design Parameters Mechanical lifespan in transformer oil any other given insulating medium operating temperature range expected lifespan of the LTC Switching performance (current, step voltage) Contact lifespan Physical dimension 11/24/2003 Page 25
26 Reinhausen Vacuum Interrupters for LTCs Permanent Improvement in Research and Development Example for Application in Reactor Type LTCs 180 mm Vacuum interrupter for 2500A, introduced in the early 70 s (VACUTAP LTC type UVT) Vacuum interrupter for 2500A, introduced in 1993 (VACUTAP LTC type RMV-II) Vacuum interrupter for 1320A, introduced in 2000 (VACUTAP LTC type RMV-A) 11/24/2003 Page 26
27 Reinhausen Vacuum Interrupters for LTCs Comparison of Contact Wear Vacuum interrupter: Low arc drop voltage and re-condensation of metalvapor plasma The contact wear rate for LTC vacuum interrupters is at least 10 times less than for copper-tungsten contacts Example for 1000 A shows only 3% of wear found in copper-tungsten contacts Message Vacuum interrupters specifically designed for LTCs easily reach 500,000 switching operations 11/24/2003 Page 27

34 Advantages of the RMV Vacuum Type LTC Summary Vacuum Interrupter is a hermetically sealed system Arc does not interact with the surrounding medium Carbon by-product eliminated when working in insulating oil Reduction of mechanical wear of mechanism Eliminates need for on-line filtration equipment Allows use of alternative insulating fluids Vacuum Interrupter has a fast dielectric recovery of the quenching medium Short arc time Reduced contact wear (<10% of wear found in oil) No aging of the quenching medium Constant or improving switching characteristics (gas molecules absorption by getter effect = the more it switches the better the vacuum interrupter becomes!!) 11/24/2003 Page 34
35 Advantages of the RMV Vacuum Type LTC Summary (Cont.) Substantial Reduction of Operating Costs Elimination of on-line filter (acquisition, operating and maintenance costs) Fewer oil replacements (oil can be re-used several times), easier oil disposal Contact replacements basically eliminated for network applications Easier contact wear evaluation and maintenance procedures Note: UZ type LTCs have only 30,000 operations contact life per stationary contact. There are 17 stationary contacts per phase (51 total) that need to be evaluated for contact wear, together with 18 moving contacts. 500,000 operations can only be achieved if the customer uses entire operating range uniformly, 16L N 16R N 16L N 16R RMV-II: 1,000,000 operations vacuum interrupter life RMV-A: 750,000 operations vacuum interrupter life Reduction of maintenance costs (contacts, oil, labor) 11/24/2003 Page 35
