As a key component of high-voltage circuit breakers, contacts will generate high temperatures due to arc discharge when breaking large currents, causing contact material ablation. The temperature rise on the contact surface may also produce corresponding thermal stress. When the continuous thermal stress exceeds the tensile strength of the material, the contact material may crack, which will cause the conductivity and mechanical strength of the contact to decrease, thereby affecting the working state and service performance of the high-voltage circuit breaker. At present, environmentally friendly gas arc extinguishing high-voltage circuit breakers are a hot spot in research and development. Compared with SF6 gas, the arc breaking state of mixed gases such as C4F7N is more complicated, and the ablation effect on the contacts when used for arc extinguishing is more complicated.

[0075] The mechanical parameters include the density, elastic modulus and Poisson's ratio of the high-voltage circuit breaker material; the thermal parameters include the thermal expansion coefficient, thermal conductivity, specific heat capacity and yield strength of the high-voltage circuit breaker material.

[0076] S102, establishing a three-dimensional geometric model of a high-voltage circuit breaker contact according to thermal parameters and mechanical parameters;

[0077] Specifically, a three-dimensional geometric model of the high-voltage circuit breaker contact is established based on the collected thermal and mechanical parameters. The three-dimensional modeling can more realistically reflect the shape and force conditions of the contact in actual work, thereby improving the accuracy of the evaluation.

[0078] In some embodiments, the three-dimensional geometric model includes an upper insulating column, a contact arc, a cathode contact, an anode contact, a lower insulating column, a large current generator, a cathode connecting cable, an anode cable, a current coil, a voltage probe, a lens, a slit, a spectrometer, a data processing analyzer, and a simulation simulator;

[0079] The cathode contact and the anode contact are respectively fixed between the upper insulating column and the lower insulating column and placed in horizontal alignment; the cathode contact and the anode contact ports are respectively connected to the output port of the high current generator through the cathode cable and the anode cable; the cathode contact and the anode contact are subjected to breakdown discharge to generate a contact arc; the current coil and the voltage probe are connected to the anode cable to measure the loop current and voltage waveforms respectively; the lens is assembled on the spectrometer through a slit to detect the plasma characteristics and parameters in the contact arc; the data processing analyzer performs calculations and comparisons based on the simulation simulator.

[0080] Specifically, Figure 2 The figure shows a schematic diagram of the model, which includes an upper insulating column (1), a contact arc (2), a cathode contact (3), an anode contact (4), a lower insulating column (5), a high current generator (6), a cathode connecting cable (7), an anode cable (8), a current coil (9), a voltage probe (10), a lens (11), a slit (12), a spectrometer (13), a data processing analyzer (14), and a simulation algorithm (15).

[0081] The cathode contact (3) and the anode contact (4) are respectively fixed between the upper insulating column (1) and the lower insulating column (5), and the cathode contact (3) and the anode contact (4) are placed horizontally and aligned with a spacing of 10 mm; the cathode contact (3) and the anode contact (4) ports are respectively connected to the output port of the large current generator (6) through the cathode cable (7) and the anode cable (8); the cathode contact (3) and the anode contact (4) are broken down and discharged to generate a contact arc (2); the current coil (9) and the voltage probe (10) are connected to the anode cable (8) to measure the loop current and voltage waveforms respectively; the lens (11) is assembled in the spectrometer (13) through the slit (12) to detect the plasma characteristics and parameters in the contact arc (2); the data of the spectrometer (13) is imported into the data processing analyzer (14) for further analysis and statistics; the data processing analyzer (14) also performs calculation comparison on the simulation model based on the simulation algorithm (15).

[0082] In some embodiments, the plasma parameters and heat load parameters are obtained according to the spectrometer in the three-dimensional geometric model, specifically including:

[0085] Based on the plasma parameters, the parallel heat load parameter q″ is determined.

[0086] Specifically, the contact arc (2) is tested using a spectrometer (13) to obtain the central wavelength λ0 of the spectral line and the Stark broadening wL. The spectral line profile dominated by the Stark broadening is approximately a Lorentz distribution:

[0088] The electron density data can be calculated. The Stark broadening of the spectral line is generally directly related to the electron density and is minimally affected by temperature. The calculation formula is as follows:

[0089]

[0090] Where ω is the electron collision parameter / s-1; α is the electrostatic ion broadening parameter; Ne is the electron density / cm-3; Te is the electron temperature / K, where ω and α are both constants; considering the collision broadening effects of electrons and ions at the same time, the first term on the right side of the equal sign represents the effect of fast-moving electrons, and the second term represents the effect of slow-moving heavy ions. For non-hydrogen-like atoms, Stark broadening is mainly affected by the electron effect, and the ion effect can be ignored. For hydrogen atoms, there is also a simplified formula for calculation:

[0091]

[0092] Among them, α 1 / 2 is the half-height and half-width of the normalized profile. For the commonly used hydrogen Balmer system H α With H β The values ​​are 0.015 and 0.087 respectively.

[0093] Preferably, based on the plasma radiation transport equation, combined with the LTE hypothesis and the relationship between related equations, the radiation spectrum line shape of the plasma can be numerically fitted, and then the temperature parameters of the plasma can be calculated. The radiation transport equation of the plasma can be simplified as follows:

[0094] L λ =B λ (1-e -τ(λ))(4)

[0095] Among them, L λ is the absolute intensity of the spectral line / W·m -2 ·nm -1 ·sr -1 , B λ is the Planck equation, and τ(λ) is the optical thickness. The optical thickness τ(λ) is related to the plasma size range, temperature, composition and density, and its calculation expression is as follows:

[0098] In the experiment, the corresponding spectral data can be obtained and the Stark broadening w can be measured. L , substituting into formula (2) we can get the electron density N e . The particle density N i The relationship between the plasma temperature T can be obtained by connecting the Boltzmann equation (6) and the Saha equation (7). Finally, by combining equations (4) and (5), the plasma temperature can be calculated by spectral line fitting:

[0099]

[0100]

[0101] Preferably, the heat load is the energy passing through a unit area per unit time, causing a temperature change within a unit distance along the energy flow direction. Based on the plasma parameters obtained by analysis and processing, the parallel heat load parameters can be calculated:

[0102]

[0103] Where keff is thermal conductivity / W·m-2·K-2; Γ ion is the ion flux / m-2·s-1; v is the plasma velocity along the jet direction / m·s-1.
