I-arcing yamaphaneli kagesi kanye nokushisa ngokweqile¶

Iphaneli yesevisi kagesi (ibhokisi le-circuit breaker noma iyunithi yomthengi) ekhipha umsindo olokozayo noma obhazazayo, iphunga njengepulasitiki evuthayo noma inhlanzi ebolayo, noma ezwa kushisa lapho uyithinta ibhekene ne-arcing kagesi esebenzayo noma ukushisa okunamandla okuphikisayo. Uma kungahloliwe, i-arcing kagesi ngaphakathi kwephaneli yesevisi ikhiqiza amazinga okushisa angaphezu kuka-2,000 degrees Celsius (3,600 degrees Fahrenheit), amabhasi ancibilikisa amabhasi ethusi nawe-aluminium kanye nohlaka lodonga olubasayo olungemuva kwebhokisi phakathi nemizuzu. Ukwazi ukuthi kunini lapho kufanele kuphume khona ngokushesha, indlela yokuvala isevisi eyinhloko ukunqamula usebenzisa i-arc-flash body positioning, nokuthi kungani amaphaneli athile Amaphutha ehluleka ukuhamba kungavimbela umlilo wendlu oyinhlekelele.

Yenza lokhu manje¶

Uma uzwa umsindo noma umsindo ophuma kuphaneli yakho kagesi, iphunga ikhemikhali elimuncu noma iphunga elinuka kamnandi eduze kwebhokisi, noma uqaphele izibani ezilokozayo ezihambisana nomnyango wephaneli efudumele:

1. Hlola umlilo osebenzayo noma insimbi ebomvu ekhazimulayo ngaphambi kokuthinta ibhokisi: Bheka iphaneli ukusuka kumamitha angu-2 (amafidi angu-6). Uma kuthululwa intuthu emithumeni, izinhlansi ziyandiza, noma i-drywall ezungezile ishile, ungalithinti iphaneli. Susa bonke abantu nezilwane ezifuywayo ngaphandle ngokushesha futhi ushayele indawo yangakini izinombolo eziphuthumayo ukuthumela umnyango womlilo.
2. Qinisekisa unyawo olomile bese ufaka izinto zokuzivikela: Uma ungekho umlilo osebenzayo futhi ungakwazi ukuvala amandla ngokuphephile, qinisekisa ukuthi phansi kwephaneli komile kwamathambo. Ungalokothi uthinte iphaneli kagesi ngenkathi umile emanzini ezikhukhula angaphansi noma kukhonkolo emanzi ngezinyawo ezingenalutho. Gqoka izicathulo ezinesoli yerabha, izibuko zokuphepha, namagilavu ​​okusebenza esikhumba esomile uma useduze.
3. Yima eceleni kokuthi "isimo sosebenza ngogesi" (ukuzivikela kwe-arc-flash): Yima kwesokunxele noma kwesokudla somnyango wephaneli evaliwe, ungalokothi uqonde ngqo phambi kweziphuli. Yelula nge-isandla esisodwa kuphela (gcina esinye isandla sakho ephaketheni lakho noma ngemuva kwakho ukuze ugesi ungakwazi ukudala ukujikeleza enhliziyweni yakho), susa ubuso bakho namehlo akho ebhokisini, bese uvule umnyango wekhava yangaphandle.
4. Phenya i-Main Service Nqamula isinqamuli ukuze IVALIWE: Thola isigxobo esikhulu esiphindwe kabili I-Main Breaker (ivame ukulinganisa ku-100A, 150A, noma 200A phezulu kakhulu noma ngaphansi kwebhokisi) bese usishutha siqine siye endaweni ethi VALIWE ngomnyakazo owodwa wokunquma. Lokhu kunqamula ukugeleza kukagesi kuwo wonke amasekethe egatsha ekhaya lakho futhi kumise ukukhiqizwa kokushisa okubangelwa izikhindi ezingaphansi komfula noma amabha amabhasi agcwele kakhulu.
5. Lalela ukuze uqinisekise ukuthi i-arcing iyayeka:
6. **Uma ukuduma nokushisa kuma **: Vala isicabha sephaneli yangaphandle, shiya isiqhekeza esikhulu IVALIWE, bese ushayela osebenza ngogesi ezimo eziphuthumayo onelayisensi ukuze ahlole futhi alungise iphaneli.
7. Uma ukucwebezela, ukuphuma, noma iphunga elivuthayo liqhubeka nokuthi I-Main Breaker IVALIWE: Isekhethi emfishane itholakala kumalugi okungena kwesevisi yensiza ngenhla kwebreaker enkulu (ehlala ibukhoma zikhathi zonke ukusuka emgwaqeni). Phuma endlini ngokushesha futhi ushayele bobabili abezicishamlilo kanye nenombolo yocingo yocingo ephuthumayo yenkampani yakho kagesi ukuze unqamule amandla kusiguquli somgwaqo noma imitha.

Umhlahlandlela wokuxilonga: ukuthi iphaneli yakho kagesi izwakala, iphunga, namazinga okushisa asho ukuthini¶

Ama-Circuit breaker awashintshi, ama-thermal-magnetic asebenza ngokupholile. Nakuba ukuchofoza kafushane lapho uphenyisa iswishi kuyinto evamile, noma yimuphi umsindo oqhubekayo, iphunga, noma ukushisa okungaphezu kwesivivi kudinga uphenyo olusheshayo.

Kungani amaphaneli kagesi e-arc futhi eshisa ngokweqile: i-physics yokuxhumana okuxekethile¶

Umbono oyiphutha ojwayelekile ukuthi ama-circuit breaker ahlala ekhubaza ngaso leso sikhathi lapho kwenzeka iphutha eliyingozi lezintambo. Ama-circuit breaker ajwayelekile e-thermal-magnetic aklanyelwe kuphela ukuhamba ngaphansi kwezimo ezimbili eziqondile:

1. I-overcurrent eqhubekayo (uhambo olushisayo): Uma isekethe engu-15-amp noma engu-20-amp idonsa ama-amps angu-25 ukuya kwangu-30 ngokuqhubekayo imizuzu embalwa, ukushisa umugqa we-bimetallic ngaphakathi kwe-breaker ize igobe futhi ikhulule i-latch.
2. Isekhethi emfishane efile (uhambo lukazibuthe): Uma intambo eshisayo ithinta intambo engenalutho emaphakathi noma yaphansi ngokuqondile, idala ukukhuphuka okusheshayo okungama-amps angu-300 kuya ku-1,000+ okucupha uzibuthe kagesi ukuthi uvule isinqamuli ngama-milliseconds.

Kungani itheminali ecwebezelayo eshisayo ingakhubeki isinqamuli esijwayelekile: Uma itheminali yesikulufu socingo ngaphakathi kwephaneli ixega kancane, noma uma isiqeshana se-breaker ("gwaza") sigqwalile lapho sibamba ibha yebhasi yensimbi emaphakathi, indawo yokuxhumana ishwabana ibe iphoyinti elincane. Ngisho noma ama-amps angu-10 kuphela wamanje ojwayelekile wasendlini (ngaphansi komkhawulo wohambo ongu-15-amp noma 20-amp) egeleza kulelo bhodlela elinokumelana okuphezulu, ukuxhuma okukhombayo kukhanya ngokubomvu njengengxenye ye-toaster. Ngenxa yokuthi isamba se-amperage sihlala ngaphansi kwama-amps angu-15 noma angu-20, isinqamuli esijwayelekile asilokothi sizwe ukugcwala ngokweqile futhi siqhubeke ngenjabulo ukuphakela amandla kuxhumo oluncibilikayo kuze kube yilapho upulasitiki ozungezile uvutha.

Kungani ungalokothi ususe ikhava yensimbi "efile-phambili".¶

Uma uvula umnyango ongaphandle onehingiwe wephaneli kagesi, ubona izibambo zepulasitiki zokuguqula iziqephu zigqobhoza ikhava yensimbi efakwe ngezikulufu ebizwa ngokuthi dead-front.

ngokufanayo, ungalinge uzame ukudonsa ingilazi yangaphandle noma imitha kagesi yedijithali iphume isokhethi yakho ngokwakho. Ukudonsa imitha kagesi yendawo yokuhlala emihlathini yayo ngenkathi i-current igeleza noma ngenkathi isifunda esifushane sikhona ngaphakathi kwephaneli kudonsa i-arc enkulukazi evulekile ye-plasma ngqo ezandleni nasebusweni bakho. Izisebenzi zikalayini wensizakalo kuphela ezigqoke izihlangu zobuso ezilinganiswe nge-arc, amagilavu ​​enjoloba alinganiswe kagesi kagesi, namathuluzi okunqamula umthwalo abangadonsa imitha ephilayo ngokuphephile.

Iphrothokholi yesigaba C sesicishamlilo semililo yamaphaneli kagesi¶

Uma umlilo omncane kagesi usanda kuqala ngaphakathi noma ngokushesha eduze kwebhokisi le-breaker futhi usuvele ubize abezicishamlilo (futhi unomnyango wokuphuma ocacile, ongavimbeki ngemuva kwakho), kufanele usebenzise isicisha-mlilo esifanele:

• Izicishamlilo ezamukelekayo:
• I-Carbon Dioxide (\(\text{CO}_2\)) Isicishamlilo (Silinganiselwe Isigaba B/C): Inketho efanelekile yamaphaneli kagesi. Ikhipha igesi ye-inert ebandayo, engaqhubeki eshisa amalangabi ngaphandle kokushiya impushana yamakhemikhali egqwalayo ngaphakathi kwezinto zikagesi.
• Isicishamlilo Sezinjongo Eziningi Ezomile (Ikilasi Elilinganiselwe A-B-C noma i-B-C): Sisebenzisa i-monoammonium phosphate engaphenduki noma impushana ye-sodium bicarbonate. Kuphephile ukufutha ezintweni zikagesi ezinamandla afinyelela ku-1,000 volts ukusuka ebangeni okungenani lamamitha angu-2 (6 amafidi).
• Ungalokothi usebenzise: Izicisha-mlilo zamanzi (Amathini Aluhlaza/esiliva), izicisha-mlilo zasekhishini eziyikhemikhali ezimanzi (Ikilasi K), noma amabhakede amanzi.
• Qaphela ukuthungela kabusha: Inqobo nje uma amandla kagesi ehlala exhunywe kuphaneli, umlilo kagesi ocishwa nge-\(\text{CO}_2\) noma impushana eyomile ngokuvamile uzovutha kabusha imizuzwana kamuva njengoba izintambo ezibukhoma ziqhubeka ziba yi-arc. Khipha isicisha-mlilo, ubuyele ngaphandle ekamelweni, uvale umnyango ngemuva kwakho ukuze ulambe igumbi lomoya-mpilo, bese ulinda ngaphandle izicishamlilo.

Amaphaneli kagesi aphelelwe isikhathi anobungozi obukhulu kanye nezintambo ze-aluminium¶

Uma ikhaya lakho lakhiwe noma lalungiswa phakathi kuka-1950 no-1990, hlola ilebula yomkhiqizo ngaphakathi komnyango wakho wephaneli kagesi. Izigidi ezimbalwa zamaphaneli afakwe phakathi nalawa mashumi eminyaka aneziphambeko ezibhaliwe zobunjiniyela ezibangela ukuthi ama-breaker agxumeke ku-ON phakathi nesekethe emfushane:

Ukuqonda i-AFCI iqhudelana ne-GFCI ngokumelene nohambo lwama-breaker olujwayelekile¶

Amakhodi esimanje kagesi (njenge-National Electrical Code e-United States nase-Canada, kanye nemithethonqubo yezintambo ze-IEC/BS 7671 eYurophu nase-United Kingdom) adinga ama-circuit breaker akhethekile anezinkinobho ezinemibala ethi TEST ezithola izingozi ezifihliwe kudala ngaphambi kokuba isiqhephusi esijwayelekile sihambe:

• I-GFCI / RCD (Isiphazamisi Sesekhethi Esiphansi / Idivayisi Yamanje Esele): Ivamise ukufaka inkinobho yokuhlola ephuzi noma emhlophe. Iqapha ukuthi ingabe intambo kagesi eshiya intambo eshisayo ifana ncamashi neyamanje ebuyayo entanjeni ephakathi nendawo. Uma ngisho ama-milliamperes angu-5 kuye kwangu-30 evuza (isibonelo, emanzini noma ngomzimba womuntu aye phansi), inyakaza ngaphansi kwamasekhondi angu-0.025 ukuvimbela ukucushwa kukagesi.
• I-AFCI (I-Arc-Fault Circuit Interrupter): Ivamise ukufaka inkinobho yokuhlola ensomi, eluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka, noma eluhlaza. Iqukethe i-microprocessor ehlaziya i-waveform kagesi ukuze kutholwe isiginesha ye-electronic yemvamisa ephezulu yentambo evuthayo (efana nesipikili esishayelelwe ikhebuli yodonga, intambo kagesi ehlafunwayo, noma isikulufu esixegayo) futhi inyakazisa isekethe ngaphambi kokuba izinhlansi zithungele ukufakwa odongeni.
• Umthetho wokusetha kabusha i-breaker ephihliwe: Uma i-breaker ihamba, qala ngokukhipha izinto zikagesi ezisebenza ngamandla amakhulu (izifudumezi zasemkhathini, ezomisa izinwele, ama-microwave, amawindi AC) kuleyo sekhethi. Cindezela isibambo sebreaker yonke indlela ukuze sithi IVALIWE size sichofoze, bese usiphendukisa emuva kokuthi VULIWE. Uma ihlehla ibuyele endaweni emaphakathi/eqhuzukile ngokushesha (noma iphinda okwesibili phakathi nemizuzu), ungayisethi kabusha futhi. Isifunda esifushane esisebenzayo noma iphutha le-arc eliyingozi likhona kulayini; shiya i-breaker OFF bese ushayela ugesi onelayisensi.

Imibuzo evame ukubuzwa¶

Kungani ibhokisi lami le-breaker kagesi linuka njengezinhlanzi ezifile?¶

Izinqamuli zesekethe, okokufaka izintambo, kanye nezisekelo zebha yebhasi zenziwe ngamapulasitiki angakwazi ukumelana nokushisa (ama-phenolic resins) akhipha igesi ye-trimethylamine lapho eshisa ngokweqile noma encibilika, akhiphe iphunga elimnandi elifana nelezinhlanzi ezibolayo noma i-ammonia ebukhali.

Ulivala kanjani ngokuphephile ibreaker main ngaphandle kokulinyazwa i-arc flash?¶

Qinisekisa ukuthi indawo engaphansi kwakho yome ngokuphelele, yima eceleni kwephaneli kunokuba uqonde ngqo kuyo, susa ubuso bakho namehlo akho ebhokisini, bese usebenzisa isandla esisodwa ukuze uhlwithe isinqamuleli esikhulu se-Main Service Nqamula uye endaweni ethi VALIWE.

Ingabe wonke ugesi ongaphakathi kwephaneli yebreaker uyacisha uma ngicisha i-Main Breaker?¶

Cha, ukucisha i-Main Breaker UKUTHI IYAVALE kunqamula amandla kuwo wonke amasekhethi angaphakathi kwendlu yakho, kodwa amakhebuli esevisi kagesi awugqinsi angena esuka kumitha yakho kagesi yangaphandle aye ezigangeni eziyinhloko ahlala ephila ngogesi obulalayo one-amperage ephezulu, ngakho-ke akumele neze ususe ikhava yensimbi yangaphakathi.

Kungani kungafanele ngisethe kabusha i-circuit breaker ngaphezu kokukodwa uma iqhubeka nokukhubeka?¶

Ngaso sonke isikhathi uma uphoqa i-circuit breaker ukuthi ibuyele kusekethi emfushane esebenzayo, i-arc kagesi enezinga eliphezulu lokushisa igxuma inqamule intambo eyonakele ngaphakathi kwezindonga zakho noma ngaphakathi kwesithintwayo se-breaker, ishesha ukushaja amafreyimu ezinkuni futhi ibeke engcupheni yomlilo wodonga noma ukuqhuma kwe-breaker.

Iluphi uhlobo lwesicishamlilo oluphephile ukuthi lusetshenziswe emlilweni wephaneli kagesi?¶

Sebenzisa kuphela isicisha-mlilo esilinganiselwa ku-Class C eNyakatho Melika (efana nesicishamlilo se-Carbon Dioxide noma isicishamlilo sekhemikhali eyomile i-ABC/BC enezinhloso eziningi) noma esilinganiselwe izinto zikagesi ezibukhoma eYurophu/UK/Australia; ungalokothi usebenzise amanzi noma igwebu elimanzi kuphaneli elinamandla.
