Modeling and monitoring of high voltage alternating current (AC) circuit breaker using wireless communication

This paper discusses modeling and monitoring of high voltage alternating current (ac) circuit breaker using wireless communication. Circuit breakers have a very important role in generation and transmission of electricity and represent a vital of the power system. Reliable operation and monitoring the high voltage circuit breakers represent an important challenge when this activity must be acquired online. This paper presents the architecture of an online monitoring and diagnosis System of electrical equipment which has the role to acquire, to transfer and to process information about the monitored equipment. An interface is designed on top of which different local and system applications can be recorded by the system. The data acquisition allows a utility operator to monitor and view the signals of the circuit breakers online while in service by the use of graphical user interface. Improve maintenance method in circuit breaker increases life time and reliability of the circuit breaker.
