Abstract

The evaluation of the mechanical condition of a circuit breaker, i.e., whether the unit is in normal or abnormal condition, has been successfully Carried out through the application of noninvasive diagnostics, together wi thai, signal processing and decision-making techniques. Through the methodology, quantitative (numerical) assessment of a circuit breaker for any operating condition has been achieved. In this EPRI and NYS ERDA project, tests of oi 1 (principally) and sulfur hexafluoride circuit breakers, involving operations under normal and abnormal conditions, were carried out at three manufacturers and at the University at Buffalo. In all cases, the presence of abnormalities was detected.
