[0016] The beneficial effects of this invention are: 1. Existing vacuum circuit breakers are limited by their mechanical structure and control circuit design, resulting in a 50-60ms action time from fault occurrence to completion of disconnection. During this period, the short-circuit current continuously impacts the power equipment, potentially leading to catastrophic consequences such as transformer winding deformation and generator insulation breakdown. Traditional circuit breakers rely on a spring-operated mechanism and an electromagnetic relay-based disconnection system, which has high mechanical inertia and a lengthy signal processing flow, making it impossible to intervene in time at the initial stage of current rise. This solution, through the collaborative optimization of a high-speed measurement and control decision module and a fast execution drive module, compresses the fault response time to within 10-20ms. It uses an FPGA core board to replace the traditional microprocessor, achieving nanosecond-level acquisition and wavelet transform analysis of current signals. A three-mode redundancy verification mechanism is introduced to ensure that decision commands are verified and output within 50μs. The current-carrying disconnection unit adopts a high-speed repulsion mechanism, increasing the contact separation speed to 8m / s, enabling the circuit breaker to complete disconnection before the short-circuit current reaches its peak value, effectively limiting the damage of electrodynamic forces to the equipment structure, and significantly improving the short-circuit withstand capability of the power system. 2. Existing vacuum circuit breakers typically use fixed threshold values for overcurrent protection, which cannot adapt to dynamic changes in power system load. Under light load conditions, fixed thresholds may cause maloperation due to harmonic interference; while under heavy load or in scenarios with renewable energy grid integration, fixed thresholds may fail to operate due to increased current fluctuations, thus losing protection function. They lack the ability to adjust protection strategies based on real-time operating conditions. This solution achieves dynamic optimization of protection settings through a parameter adaptive unit, deploys a load characteristic database, and monitors the system's active power and power factor in real time; it adopts a dynamic threshold adjustment circuit to automatically correct the overcurrent coefficient based on the current load rate; and it integrates a machine learning acceleration chip to analyze historical fault data through reinforcement learning algorithms, optimizing decision delay and action timing, enabling the protection strategy to adapt to changes in grid operation modes, improving anti-interference capability under light load, and enhancing protection sensitivity under heavy load, fundamentally resolving the contradiction between maloperation and failure to operate. 3. Existing vacuum circuit breakers rely on periodic inspections and post-fault repairs for maintenance, lacking real-time awareness of equipment status. Inspection cycles are too long, leading to unforeseen malfunctions due to malfunctioning equipment. Over-maintenance results in wasted manpower and spare parts, and there is a lack of effective condition monitoring and lifespan prediction methods. This solution constructs a predictive maintenance system through fault diagnosis and adaptive protection modules, deploys a contact wear calculation model, and predicts remaining lifespan by combining breaking frequency and energy accumulation data. It integrates a heat accumulation algorithm to monitor contact temperature rise rate and static temperature in real time. Reinforcement learning algorithms are used to analyze fault history and dynamically adjust protection timing, enabling the equipment to autonomously assess its health status. It triggers an early warning when contact wear reaches 80% and adjusts operating parameters before abnormal temperature rise, avoiding economic losses from unplanned downtime and reducing unnecessary spare parts replacements.
