The two-step optimization design of the commutation circuit of DC vacuum circuit breaker(VCB). First, the distinctive stages in VCB-switching, particularly the sheath-growth stage, were empirically approximated, physically modeled with the equivalent circuits, analytically calculated in Kirchhoff law combined with the 4th-order Runge-Kutta method,and numerically simulated in classical genetic algorithm(GA). With the reliability and cost as the two criteria,the preliminarily optimized inductance and capacitance were estimated to be 149μH and 193 μF, respectively, in the GA sim- ulation. Next, the optimization was performed for a second time. The simulated results of the sheath-development stage show that the sheath grows exponentially with time. The re-breakdown, assumed to occur at a time when the sheath thick- ness is smaller than the breakdown distance, was specified as an additional criterion in the GA simulation. The optimized commutation inductance and capacitance were evaluated be 207μH and 269μF, respectively.
