Greegoo is a professional enterprise specializing in the R&D and manufacturing of high-speed bypass contactors/switches. With mature, large-scale production capabilities and an annual capacity exceeding 20,000 units, we can consistently meet high-volume delivery requirements.
 
We offer comprehensive, customized development tailored to specific application scenarios. We can flexibly customize key parameters - including rated current and voltage, closing and bounce times, coil control voltage, loop resistance, auxiliary feedback time, power-frequency withstand voltage levels, operation modes, and installation dimensions. Our goal is to provide highly compatible and reliable high-speed bypass contactor solutions for high-end power equipment such as VSC-HVDC converters, power quality management systems, and grid protection devices.

Working Principle and Application of Bypass Contactors (for VSC-HVDC Converters)
 
Bypass fast vacuum contactors are primarily used as supporting equipment for Voltage Source Converter (VSC) HVDC valves. Their core function is to facilitate the rapid switching and fault protection of the mitigation devices. The specific operational logic is as follows:
 
I. Normal Operation

The bypass switch remains closed for extended periods, short-circuiting the resistor within the mitigation device. This allows the transformer to operate stably under its original grounding configuration.

AC and DC instrument transformers collect electrical data in real-time and upload it to the intelligent control unit, keeping the system in a standby monitoring state.

II. Action Upon Excessive DC Component

When the monitored DC component in the grid reaches a preset threshold, the intelligent control unit issues a command. The high-speed bypass switch opens, automatically putting the mitigation device into operation to effectively suppress the DC component.

III. Protection During Asymmetric Short-Circuit Faults

* If an asymmetric short-circuit fault occurs while the device is in operation.

* The fault current flowing through the neutral point of the main transformer causes a sharp rise in voltage across the resistor.

* When the voltage reaches the breakdown level of the protective gap, the gap ionizes and breaks down, clamping the voltage across the resistor within a safe range.

* As the short-circuit current drops to its first zero-crossing point, the high-speed bypass switch executes a phase-controlled closing. This shunts the short-circuit current through the switch body, protecting the resistor and the equipment.

IV. Typical Application Scenarios for VSC-HVDC Converters

Known for their flexibility, controllability, and superior power quality, VSC-HVDC technologies are widely applied in:

* Grid-connected distributed renewable energy and grid interconnection.

* Power supply security for urban power grids.

* Power supply for offshore platforms.

* Power supply for independent remote island.
