Abstract: A pulse voltage conditioning method of a vacuum interrupter with automatic conditioning energy adjustment based on a trend of a breakdown voltage of the vacuum interrupter during a conditioning process. A current-limiting resistor and a parallel capacitor are automatically adjusted to ensure the conditioning energy reaching a critical value without deconditioning effect. The critical value refers to a maximum conditioning energy without damaging the electrode surfaces, namely an optimal conditioning energy, which can better remove insulation defects on the electrode surface and improve insulation performance of a vacuum gap. The problems of insufficient conditioning and deconditioning effect during conventional voltage conditioning process of the vacuum interrupter can be solved. Therefore, insulation strength of the vacuum interrupter can be raised to a higher level through conditioning.
