High current / circuit breaker laboratory
DEPARTMENT OF ELECTRIC ENERGY
High current / circuit breaker laboratory
The high current/ circuit breaker laboratory consists of two test circuits:
Three phase circuit:
3 MVA / 15 kA continuous operation (maximum short time current 140 kA )
One phase circuit:
- Test voltages: 6.9 – 24 kV
- Test currents from 400 to 1250 A
The one phase test circuit is specially designed for studying current interruption in medium voltage load break switches. Current amplitude and transient recovery voltage can be adjusted with high precision.
