Abstract

Effectively lubricating key operating mechanism components enhances circuit breaker performance and improves system reliability. Improper or ineffective operating mechanism maintenance causes circuit breakers to fail to operate when called upon. When this occurs, backup relays, adjacent circuit breakers and associated equipment are initiated to clear system problems. These events can have significant system and financial impact to electric utilities. Circuit breaker mechanisms have several important components that must jointly operate to perform a successful operation. Yet, these components can become problematic when not properly maintained. in many cases, improper circuit breaker operations are caused by faulty cleaning practices or inadequate re-lubrication. Systematic maintenance lubrication initiatives to address problematic components such as pins, rollers and bearings are recommended. Moreover, a proactive initiative approach will solidify component integrity and enhance electrical grid reliability.

通过有效的机构维护和润滑，提高断路器的可靠性

有效润滑关键操动机构部件，提高断路器性能，提高系统可靠性。操作机构维护不当或无效会导致断路器在调用时无法操作。当这种情况发生时，备用继电器、相邻断路器和相关设备启动以清除系统问题。这些事件可能对电力公司产生重大的系统和财务影响。断路器机构有几个重要的部件，必须共同操作才能成功操作。然而，如果维护不当，这些组件可能会出现问题。在许多情况下，不正确的断路器操作是由错误的清洁方法或不充分的再润滑引起的。系统维护润滑措施，以解决有问题的部件，如销，滚子和轴承的建议。此外，积极主动的方法将巩固组件的完整性，提高电网的可靠性。
