According to domestic and foreign practical application experience, using arc protection, users will get the following benefits:
(1) Protect nearby workers from damage caused by arc short circuit faults;
(2) Protect medium and low voltage switchgear from serious damage and prevent fires from occurring;
(3) Protect the expensive main transformer, and use it or start the transformer to avoid damage caused by short-circuit current;
(4) Prevent the DC system from being used in the station to avoid causing huge economic losses;
(5) Minimize user power outages. The user's power failure recovery time can be reduced from the original 2 days to 3 weeks to within a few hours;
(6) Extend the service life of existing switchgear and delay the investment in replacing switchgear.
