Vacuum Arc Switched Inverter Tests at 2. 5 MVA

Abstract

A mathematical analysis of the unloaded vacuum arc switch (VAS) inverter is undertaken; a key element in this analysis is the assumption of a constant voltage drop of 50 volts across each VAS while it is contracting. From this analysis a constant VAS-voltage model is developed to explain the VAS inverter operation. A comparison of data obtained from laboratory tests of the inverter is made with data obtained from. this model, and agreement is found to be within 10% for up to 15 alternations.
