A reserach on complex network model of field visibility of electric field in SF6 circuit breaker

Based on complex network theory, this paper puts forward a network construction method based on the field visibility of visibility principle, analyzes the inherent properties of electric field, and excavates the important information contained in electric field. By constructing the complex network model through uniform electric field of plate electrodes and slightly non-uniform electric field of high-pressure SF₆ gas circuit breaker (HV SF₆ GCBs), this paper introduces the complex network theories into field distribution in electric field for study. Besides, it finds that the uniform electric field network of plate electrodes presents regular network characteristics, and the slightly non-uniform electric field of SF₆ gas circuit breaker arc quenching chamber under different opening strokes is featured with scale-free and small-world properties, which belong to the features of complex network. The research results indicate: the network construction through the field visibility method has inherited some characteristics of electric field. By introducing the complex network theory, the electric field distribution can be studied from a new perspective.
