The isolating switch does not have a special arc extinguishing device in its structure, and it should not be used for pulling or closing operations under load. When opening the isolating switch, it must be done after the circuit breaker has already disconnected the circuit. When closing, the isolating switch should be connected first, followed by the circuit breaker to complete the connection. The main functions of the isolating switch include:
1. Isolating the power supply: In case of maintenance due to a power outage, the isolating switch is used to isolate the equipment that needs to be maintained, creating a visible disconnection point to ensure the safety of both personnel and equipment.
2. Switching operations: Electrical equipment can operate in three states: operation, standby, and maintenance. Changing an electrical device from one state to another is known as a switching operation. For example, in a double busbar system, an isolating switch (busbar isolator) can be used to transfer the power supply from one set of busbars to another without interrupting the user’s power supply.
3. Opening and closing circuits with no current or small current: Although high-voltage isolating switches do not have dedicated arc-extinguishing devices, they can still open and close small currents due to the rapid separation of moving and static contacts, which helps extinguish the arc based on the principle of arc elongation. Therefore, the high-voltage isolating switch can be used for the following operations:
1) Opening and closing voltage transformer and arrester circuits;
2) Opening and closing busbars and capacitors directly connected to the bus;
3) No-load transformers with excitation current less than 2A: typically, transformers rated at 35kV and below 1000kVA, or 110kV transformers with capacity below 3200kVA;
4) No-load lines with capacitor current not exceeding 5A: overhead lines at 10kV with length up to 5km, or 35kV overhead lines with length up to 10km.
Three Phase UPS systems offer higher efficiency, reliability, and scalability compared to single-phase UPS. They are commonly used in data centers, industrial facilities, and critical infrastructure.
Features of the Three Phase UPS:
1. Scalability: The Three Phase UPS systems are highly scalable, allowing for easy expansion as the power requirements of the facility increase. This makes them suitable for both small and large-scale applications.
2. Redundancy: These UPS systems are equipped with redundant components, such as redundant power modules and redundant fans, to ensure uninterrupted power supply even in the event of a component failure.
3. High Efficiency: The Three Phase UPS systems are designed to operate at high efficiency levels, reducing energy consumption and minimizing operating costs. They often incorporate advanced technologies, such as double conversion topology and energy-saving modes, to achieve this.
4. Advanced Battery Management: These UPS systems come with advanced battery management features, including battery monitoring, temperature compensation, and automatic battery testing. This ensures the reliability and longevity of the battery system.
5. Remote Monitoring and Management: Many Three Phase UPS systems offer remote monitoring and management capabilities, allowing users to monitor the UPS status, perform diagnostics, and make configuration changes remotely. This improves the overall system management and reduces maintenance costs.
Performance of the Three Phase UPS:
1. Power Capacity: The Three Phase UPS systems are capable of handling high power capacities, typically ranging from a few kilowatts to several megawatts. This makes them suitable for powering critical equipment in data centers, manufacturing plants, hospitals, and other large-scale facilities.
2. Voltage Regulation: These UPS systems provide precise voltage regulation, ensuring a stable and clean power supply to the connected equipment. This helps in preventing equipment damage and data loss caused by voltage fluctuations and surges.
3. Fault Tolerance: The Three Phase UPS systems are designed with fault-tolerant features, such as redundant components and parallel operation capability. This ensures high availability and reliability of the power supply, even during maintenance or component failures.
4. Fast Switchover: In the event of a power outage or voltage disturbance, the Three Phase UPS systems provide fast switchover times, typically in milliseconds, to ensure seamless power transfer and uninterrupted operation of the connected equipment.
