MAGNETIC ACTUATOR
CONCEPT
The basic concept of it is a simple-
PLUNGER, which is held magnetically
in both the open and close position by
permanent magnets.
![Page 4: 1 Magnetic Actuator](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062319/5540e3b04a7959f8128b4b40/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
WHY a Magnetic Actuator for VCB
Spring mechanism is not 100% suitable, this is clearly understood from its force travel characteristics.
Comparing the force travel characteristics of solenoid & spring mechanism, we will find that solenoid is suitable for closing operation spring mechanism for tripping operation
The plunger of magnetic actuator is basically driven by a solenoid.
The idea was 1st concieved in the year 2001.

![Page 9: 1 Magnetic Actuator](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062319/5540e3b04a7959f8128b4b40/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
CONSTRUCTION
Moving part which facilitate the open / close movement is steel plunger. This plunger has a shaft which is connected to the breaker main shaft.
Movement of the plunger depends upon the coil energization polarities. Coil energization is done by discharging of ELECTROLYTIC CAPACITORS.
![Page 10: 1 Magnetic Actuator](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062319/5540e3b04a7959f8128b4b40/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
OPERATION OF ACTUATOR IS GOVERNED BY A MICRO CONTROLLER BASED ELECTRONIC RELAY
This relay takes the basic input from two proximity sensors each for open and close positions.
Operation of coil and magnets and the path the magnetic lines transverse, can be studied with the help of superposition theorem which is used in electrical circuit.
![Page 11: 1 Magnetic Actuator](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062319/5540e3b04a7959f8128b4b40/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
There are two sources in the model which contribute magnetic fields i,e coils & magnets.
To understand their effect on the plunger each of them is switched on independently, and then verify the cumulative effect of the sources to analyze the model with both sources contributing simultaneously.
![Page 12: 1 Magnetic Actuator](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062319/5540e3b04a7959f8128b4b40/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
![Page 13: 1 Magnetic Actuator](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062319/5540e3b04a7959f8128b4b40/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
FUNCTIONING
The functioning of the actuator i,e the closing & opening operations is done through an electrical control unit.
As the coils are to be fed with a constant voltage D.C pulse, it essentially consists capacitor & rectifier.
The controller requires auxiliary power supply for charging the capacitors.
![Page 14: 1 Magnetic Actuator](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062319/5540e3b04a7959f8128b4b40/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
The close / open command can be given by actuating contactors through push buttons.
Charging time for capacitors
2 to 3 sec’s for closing operation
0.3 sec’s for tripping operation
![Page 15: 1 Magnetic Actuator](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062319/5540e3b04a7959f8128b4b40/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
OPERATING MODES
MODEL1 : Magnets with coil excitation zero.
MODEL2 : Effect of coil excitation without magnets.
MODEL3 : Operation with coil & magnets simultaneously.
![Page 16: 1 Magnetic Actuator](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062319/5540e3b04a7959f8128b4b40/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
MODEL1: MAGNETS WITH COIL EXCITATION ZERO.
Plunger is in the close mode.
In this case excitation of trip coil is zero.
in this position the plunger is at the top i,e
(open position) together with the iron core
forms a path of low magnetic resistance
for the field of permanent magnets. In contrast the large gap at the bottom of the plunger
represents a high magnetic resistance.
![Page 17: 1 Magnetic Actuator](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062319/5540e3b04a7959f8128b4b40/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
EFFECT OF MAGNETS WITH COIL EXCITATION ZERO.
EFFECT OF COIL EXCITATION WITHOUT MAGNETS
OPERATION WITH COIL & MAGNETS SIMULTANIOUSLY
![Page 18: 1 Magnetic Actuator](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062319/5540e3b04a7959f8128b4b40/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
It can be seen that as the shaft permeability is high. Flux lines concentrate on the top of the plunger.
So if the plunger is to be pulled downwards MMF required will be more than which required to hold the plunger in close position.
![Page 19: 1 Magnetic Actuator](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062319/5540e3b04a7959f8128b4b40/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
MODEL 2EFFECT OF COIL EXCITATION WITHOUT MAGNETS
It can be observed that as the lower coil (trip coil) is energized it will produce flux proportional to H & force it through the magnetic path having higher permeability.
Flux lines directions are exactly apposite to that of magnets. So coil should produce sufficient field strength to pull the plunger against permanent magnetic force.
![Page 20: 1 Magnetic Actuator](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062319/5540e3b04a7959f8128b4b40/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
It can also be seen from the fig. that flux lines are also traversing through
the air path at the bottom.
As the reluctance of this path is more, major part of the MMF is lost to force the flux lines through air path.
![Page 21: 1 Magnetic Actuator](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062319/5540e3b04a7959f8128b4b40/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
MODEL 3 operation with coil & magnets simultaneously
During any operation coil has to overcome three basic components. latching force of the permanent magnets Air gap reluctance Residual flux in the core which align itself
along the last operational direction.To operate the actuator, coil is energized with
proper polarity to overcome these three.
![Page 22: 1 Magnetic Actuator](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062319/5540e3b04a7959f8128b4b40/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
The flux concentration in the lower part of the plunger has increased. Direction of flux lines are in downward direction it can be seen that the plunger
going to be pulled down.
This is
Tripping operation
![Page 23: 1 Magnetic Actuator](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062319/5540e3b04a7959f8128b4b40/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Also the flux lines are concentrated in the air gap at the bottom of the plunger
Max losses because of air gap reluctance is in this portion. The
coil excitation should be enough to overcome this leakage flux.
![Page 24: 1 Magnetic Actuator](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062319/5540e3b04a7959f8128b4b40/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Relation of MMF & Reluctance
flux linkage of the winding Inductance = -----------------------------------------------------
current
= Nø / I. Also L = N2.Pm
Ø = mmf x permeance = NI x Pm.
= NI / S since Pm = 1 / s.
S reluctanceThus ø directly controlled with ampere turns & reluctance of magnetic path.

Controlling of magnetic actuator is of two types.
1.Electronic controlling
2.Non Electronic control
![Page 26: 1 Magnetic Actuator](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062319/5540e3b04a7959f8128b4b40/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)

Electronic Control Unit
The energizing of the coils of the actuator for closing & opening operations requires a continuous connection to some auxiliary voltage supply.
Under voltage and over voltage have no effect on switching times.
![Page 29: 1 Magnetic Actuator](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062319/5540e3b04a7959f8128b4b40/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
An electrolytic capacitor provides the surge power of upto 2600w required for energizing the opening &
closing coils in the actuator.
stores the electrical energy of less than 200J for a complete o-c-o operating cycle. After such an operating cycle, the capacitor recharges with in < 10 sec’s with a peak current of max 2A.
![Page 30: 1 Magnetic Actuator](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062319/5540e3b04a7959f8128b4b40/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Power semiconductors (A combination of Mosfet Transistors and Thyristors)
Controls the current for switching the actuator coils.
The switching voltage induced by the inductivity of the coils on interruption of the current are reduced by parallel free wheeling diodes.
![Page 31: 1 Magnetic Actuator](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062319/5540e3b04a7959f8128b4b40/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
FPGA ( Field Programmable Gate Array ) controls the circuit breaker
Switching commands are only extended taking account of the switch position.
switch position is detected by two 1. inductive proximity sensors
2. the charging condition of the storage capacitor
inductive proximity sensors detect impermissible intermediate positions.
Eg: failure to reach a limit position & signals.

Applications of ECU
Energy consumption – 1 / 10th Unit consumes a power of – 2w On failure of aux supply voltage, storage capacitor
ensures that a breaking operation is possible for further 2 min’s. thus short voltage breakdowns are bridged without problems.
Under voltage release ( when the CCS tripping input 3 is connected to a commercial under voltage relay )
Over current release.

NON ELECTRONIC CONTROLLERIS SPECIALLY DESIGNED TO ACHIVE
Separate rectifier, capacitor & contactor units
For closing & tripping circuits
Use of ZENER
to ensure closing only when the closing capacitor is charged to 85% of its full voltage. Ready lamp will glow when charging is over.

Closing contactor supply taken from tripping condenser output & through trip coil. to ensure “trip circuit healthy” before closing.
Voltage doubling circuit can be made to cater variable input supply to controller.
Series parallel type coil can be used to cater variable input supply in case of direct battery operation.
