What are the mechanical failures of outdoor vacuum reclosers?

Operating Mechanism Faults:

Spring-Operated Mechanism:

  • Spring Fatigue: Spring fatigue is a common issue. If the spring remains compressed for a long time or is frequently operated, it may lose its elasticity, causing the closing speed to slow down or the closing position to be inaccurate. Additionally, mechanical transmission components of the spring-operated mechanism, such as connecting rods and toggle arms, can wear out, deform, or become stuck, affecting the accuracy and reliability of the opening and closing operations.

Permanent Magnet-Operated Mechanism:

  • Magnet Demagnetization: Demagnetization of the permanent magnet is a potential fault in permanent magnet-operated mechanisms. High-temperature environments, strong vibrations, or prolonged exposure to high currents can weaken the magnetic properties of the permanent magnet, affecting the performance of the operating mechanism. Furthermore, faults in the control circuit of the permanent magnet-operated mechanism, such as capacitor aging or electronic component failure, can also lead to abnormal opening and closing operations.

Transmission Component Faults:

  • Loose or Detached Connecting Rods: In outdoor vacuum reclosers, the transmission connecting rods may loosen or even detach over time due to vibration, corrosion, or other factors. This can prevent the opening and closing actions from being transmitted properly, causing the recloser to fail to operate correctly.

  • Wear or Breakage of Pivot Pins: Pivot pins can wear out during rotation. Severe wear can increase the clearance between transmission components, affecting the precision of the opening and closing actions. If a pivot pin breaks, it can directly interrupt the transmission chain of the recloser, preventing it from performing opening and closing operations.

A Novel Detection Method for Stuck Faults in Load Switches
In recent years, as distribution automation advances, load switches see wider use in distribution lines. Yet, mechanical - failure - induced accidents are on the rise, burdening line operation and maintenance.Poor mechanical performance is the main cause of switch faults. Many scholars study large - scale switchgear operation, using methods like coil current detection, vibration signal analysis, switch travel testing, ultrasonic flaw detection, and infrared thermometry.

What are the common faults of load switches?
As an on-site maintenance technician, I frequently deal with electrical, mechanical, and insulation faults in load switches. The following outlines fault manifestations, causes, and solutions:I. Electrical Fault Handling(1) Contact HeatingContact heating is mainly caused by poor contact, insufficient pressure, or three-phase asynchrony. When the contact resistance exceeds 1.5 times the initial value, the temperature rise will exceed the standard in a 40℃ environment. For example, the FW4-10 swit

Short-Circuit Fault Analysis of 10kV Puffer-Type Load Switch
1. Fault OverviewIn June 2013, a fault occurred in a high - voltage switchgear in operation in a certain urban area, causing a 10kV line to trip. On - site investigation revealed that the faulty switchgear was a pneumatic ring - network high - voltage load switchgear (HXGN2 - 10 type), and the fault characteristic was athree - phase arc short circuit. After isolating the fault and restoring power supply to users, it should be noted that the same type of switchgear in this area, which was put int
