Characteristics and Heat Transfer Mechanism of Low-Voltage AC Series Fault Arcs Under Coupled Pressure-Wind Speed Conditions

  • 摘要: 外界环境因素显著影响串联故障电弧及其热传导特性,厘清大气压与风速耦合作用规律对电气火灾防控至关重要。本文基于COMSOL Multiphysics建立二维轴对称磁流体动力学仿真模型,采用二维正交组合试验设计,以0.6atm、0.8atm、1.0atm三种大气压与2m/s、4m/s两种风速耦合为例,研究低压交流串联故障电弧的温度场、电参数及能量演化特征,以平均温度、温度积分、电流电压均方根及电弧能量为核心评价指标。结果表明:风速主要通过增强弧柱外围对流换热降低边缘温度,对核心区域影响有限;高风速会加剧弧柱形态波动,导致电压有效值显著降低,而电流受气动条件影响极小;低气压叠加高风速会拉伸电弧形态,加剧温度场非对称分布并降低电弧稳定性;大气压与风速耦合下,风速对电弧温度场分布及能量释放的调控作用主导于大气压。研究成果深化了复杂环境下串联故障电弧的物理认知,可为故障电弧检测系统优化及电气火灾预防提供理论依据。

     

    Abstract: External environmental factors play a significant influence on the characteristics of series arc faults and their heat transfer behaviors. Clarifying the coupling effect mechanism of atmospheric pressure and wind speed is crucial for the prevention and control of electrical fires. In this study, a two-dimensional axisymmetric magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) simulation model was established based on COMSOL Multiphysics. By adopting a two-dimensional orthogonal experimental design, the characteristics of temperature field, electrical parameters and energy evolution of low-voltage AC series arc faults were systematically investigated under the coupling conditions of three levels of atmospheric pressure (0.6 atm, 0.8 atm, 1.0 atm) and two levels of wind speed (2 m/s, 4 m/s). The mean temperature, temperature integral, root mean square (RMS) values of current and voltage, as well as arc energy, were selected as the core evaluation indices. The results indicate that wind speed mainly reduces the temperature of the arc column periphery by enhancing convective heat transfer, while its impact on the arc core region is limited. High wind speed intensifies the morphological fluctuation of the arc column, leading to a significant decrease in the RMS value of voltage, whereas the current is barely affected by aerodynamic conditions. The combination of low atmospheric pressure and high wind speed stretches the arc morphology, exacerbates the asymmetric distribution of the temperature field, and impairs arc stability. Under the multi-factor coupling conditions, wind speed plays a dominant role in regulating the temperature field distribution and energy release of the arc, compared with atmospheric pressure. This research deepens the physical understanding of series arc faults under complex environmental conditions, and provides a theoretical basis for the optimization of arc fault detection systems and the prevention of electrical fires.
