Grading capacitor is commonly used in High Voltage Circuit Breaker for uniform voltage distribution across the Breaker contacts at CB open position. In a multi-break Circuit Breaker, Grading capacitors are connected in parallel with every break of the CB. Reasons for using Grading Capacitors in Circuit Breakers.
For closing in such circuit first the PIR comes in circuit to limit the inrush current. When the main contacts close, the current through PIR becomes zero as the shunt path is bridged by main contact. The purpose of grading capacitors is to ensure uniform voltage distribution in open position.
Grading capacitor is used in EHV circuit breakers for achieving uniform voltage distribution across the contacts of multi-break circuit breaker. Multi-break circuit breaker here means that a single breaker having more than once interrupter unit. These capacitors are connected in parallel with each of the interrupter unit.
This means, if a double break circuit breaker with grading capacitor is used in 400 kV system, then voltage across each of the breaker contact will be equally distributed. This means, the voltage across each interrupter unit will be approximately 200 kV. Voltage equalization by using grading capacitor has great advantage.
When the main contacts close, the current through PIR becomes zero as the shunt path is bridged by main contact. The purpose of grading capacitors is to ensure uniform voltage distribution in open position. If you mind, the pressure of SF6 gas kept in Breaker of 220 kV Switchyard is 6 bar and that used in 400 kV is also 6 bar.
Grading capacitors are generally used in 400KV and above voltage level circuit breakers. In the 765KV Circuit breaker, always grading capacitors are used. There are 04 nos. of Breaks available in 765KV Circuit Breaker and Grading capacitors are used for the equal voltage distribution to avoid failure of the CB.
