The invention relates to the technical field of
power equipment, and discloses a high-capacity vacuum
circuit breaker and a
direct current change-over switch, the high-capacity vacuum
circuit breaker is applied to the
direct current change-over switch, and the high-capacity vacuum
circuit breaker comprises N
vacuum arc extinguish chambers and M
current sharing structures; wherein the N
vacuum arc-extinguishing chambers are mutually connected in parallel and are connected with a first
branch circuit of the
direct current change-over switch to form N parallel
branch circuits, the N
vacuum arc-extinguishing chambers are arranged in parallel along a preset direction, the M current-sharing structures are all made of the same magnetic conductive material and are arranged in a closed ring shape, the M current-sharing structures are sleeved on the corresponding vacuum arc-extinguishing chambers, and the M current-sharing structures are connected in parallel with the first
branch circuit of the direct current change-over switch. N is an integer greater than or equal to 2, M is an integer greater than or equal to 1, and when the first branch conducts current, equivalent
inductance is generated in the branches to limit current transfer between the branches, N is an integer greater than or equal to 2, and M is an integer greater than or equal to 1. According to the technical scheme, the equivalent resistance in a normal through-current state can be prevented from being increased while the equivalent
inductance of the branch is increased to limit current transfer, the
electric energy transmission efficiency is guaranteed, and the loss is reduced.
