Look what happens without EMTP-RV

Description:
This is a nice video about the switching of a shunt reactor (most probably 500 kV) with a Circuit-Switcher.
>A circuit-switcher is a SF6 load-break swith with no fault current breaking cap... see moreability. The load current, in this case around 150 A, is normally interrupted first by the 2 interrupters and then the disconnect will open to isolate the reactor.
What happened in this video:
1 - During the opening, an external flashover occurs on one of the chamber most probably because of the contamination;
2 - The other chamber can not withstand the whole voltage and reignites internally;
3 - The external flashover vanishes because an arc is established inside;
4 - The disconnect opens on the full load current;
5 - The arc burns freely in the air for some 10 seconds until it is self-extinguished or eliminated by a circuit-breaker operation.

Reactor

Description:
This is an advanced case of a three-phase shunt-rector modeling along with a Cassie-Mayr Modified circuit-breaker arc model.

This design introduces the way three-phase shunt-reactor may be ... see moresimulated in EMTP-RV. Moreover, it introduces an advanced circuit-breaker arc model known as Cassie-Mayr Modified or Advonin arc model.
