Description

Preparation method of heavy-load 10kV large through-current arrester

[0001] This application claims priority to the Chinese patent application filed with the China Patent Office on June 12, 2023, with application number 202310693076.6 and invention name “Method for preparing heavy-load 10kV large-current lightning arrester”, the entire contents of which are incorporated by reference into this application. Technical Field

[0002] The present invention relates to the technical field of lightning arresters, and in particular to a method for preparing a heavy-load 10kV large-through-current lightning arrester. Background Art

[0003] The Southern Power Grid is located in tropical and subtropical regions with frequent lightning disasters. For a long time, it has been strongly affected by lightning activities. Based on the design of typical 10kV distribution lines and the parameters of D3, D4, and D5 series resistor-type lightning arresters, detailed calculations and analyses were conducted on the operating conditions of lightning arresters under conditions of lightning currents with different waveforms and amplitudes impacting conductors, towers, and induced lightning strikes. The residual voltage, through-current, discharge current, absorbed energy, and energy overload probability of various lightning arresters under different lightning faults were given. In particular, the main reason for the short life and high damage rate of the arrester caused by the severely insufficient through-current capacity of the D3 series resistor-type lightning arrester was pointed out. The energy absorbed by a single D3 series resistor-type lightning arrester is about 20kJ to 25kJ.

[0004] Currently, the 10kV rack transformers in the heavily loaded distribution network of the Southern Power Grid mostly use conventional YH5WS-17 / 50 type lightning arresters. When lightning current directly strikes the conductor, the arrester discharge current often exceeds 5kA, and the residual voltage can be as high as 60-80kV. This is low compared to the insulation coordination coefficient of the 10kV distribution transformer, and may even exceed the insulation level of the distribution transformer. This may exceed the 75kV (60kV) lightning impulse withstand voltage limit of 10kV distribution transformers specified in GB / T 50064-2014 "Design Specification for Overvoltage Protection and Insulation Coordination of AC Electrical Installations". Excessive residual voltage levels pose certain risks to the safe operation of the transformer. In addition, the current carrying capacity of conventional lightning arresters is only 150A, and the maximum high current impulse withstand capacity is 65kA.

[0005] Distribution network lightning arresters are used in huge numbers in power grids every year and are widely distributed. Conducting preventive tests to detect the operating conditions of lightning arresters requires a lot of manpower, material and financial resources. Currently, in most cases, lightning arresters are only handled when accidents occur, which is detrimental to the normal operation of the power grid system. Lightning arrester failures have a great impact on power supply reliability. From 2008 to 2018, distribution network lightning arresters frequently experienced defects and failures, and the number has reached 6.3 million. If all of these faulty distribution network lightning arresters are replaced, the cost will be huge.

[0026] As introduced in the background technology, in the prior art, lightning arresters frequently fail. To solve this technical problem, an embodiment of the present application provides a method for preparing a heavy-load 10kV high-current lightning arrester.

[0027] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention.

[0028] In this embodiment, a method for preparing a heavy-load 10kV high-through-current arrester is provided. As shown in FIG1 , the method comprises:

[0029] Step S101: Perform a DC reference voltage test on the valve slice to be selected to obtain a target valve slice. The target valve slice meets the following conditions: a large current impulse withstand capability greater than or equal to 100 kA, a flow capacity greater than 600 A, a residual voltage less than or equal to 45 kV at a current of 10 kA, and a repeated charge transfer capability greater than or equal to 0.8 C.

[0030] Specifically, through 4 times of 4 / 10 equal large current impulse withstand test, 8 / 20 impulse withstand repeated transfer charge 0.8C (10 rounds / 20 times) test and the lightning impulse residual voltage of the lightning arrester shall not exceed ±) test, and 2ms square wave current capacity 600A (18 times), the valve plate of the lightning arrester that meets the heavy load requirements is found, and the leakage current test under DC 1mA reference voltage and 0.75 times the reference voltage is used for grouping, and the target valve plate that meets the leakage current requirements is obtained to ensure that the produced heavy load 10kV large current lightning arrester is qualified.

[0031] Step S102, assemble the glass fiber epoxy resin layer and the electrode pair into a sealed shell, so that the above-mentioned target valve plate is located in the cavity of the sealed shell, and the above-mentioned target valve plate is electrically connected to the first electrode of the above-mentioned electrode pair and the second electrode of the above-mentioned electrode pair respectively, forming a heavy-load 10kV large-current lightning arrester.

[0032] Specifically, the glass fiber epoxy resin layer, the electrode pair and the target valve plate are assembled into a large-current lightning arrester. After the large-current lightning arrester is installed and grounded, it can be electrically connected to the first electrode of the electrode pair and the second electrode of the electrode pair through the target valve plate to form a circuit to withstand the large current of lightning strikes, thereby realizing the function of the lightning arrester.

[0033] In the preparation method of the above-mentioned large-current arrester, first, a DC reference voltage test is performed on the valve plate to be selected to obtain a target valve plate, which meets the following conditions: large current impulse tolerance greater than or equal to 100kA, current capacity greater than 600A, residual voltage under 10kA current less than or equal to 45kV, and repeated charge transfer capability greater than or equal to 0.8C. The arrester valve plate undergoes a combined current impulse test and successfully passes the combined current impulse test {(4 / 10μs large current impulse tolerance 100kA)+(8 / 20μs lightning impulse residual voltage 40kA)+(2ms square wave current capacity 600A)+(8 / 20 capacity lightning impulse residual voltage 40kA)}, and the valve plate to be assembled is selected; the glass fiber epoxy resin layer and the electrode pair are assembled into a sealed shell, so that the valve plate is located in the cavity of the sealed shell, and the target valve plate is electrically connected to the first electrode of the above-mentioned electrode pair and the second electrode of the above-mentioned electrode pair, respectively, to form a heavy-load 10kV large-current arrester. The preparation method passes 4 times of 4 / 10 method high current impulse withstand test, 8 / 20 impulse withstand repeated transfer charge 0.8C (10 rounds / 20 times) test and the lightning impulse residual voltage of the lightning arrester shall not exceed ± 100A (10 times), 2ms square wave current carrying capacity 600A (18 times), and the entire bending load test of the lightning arrester can reach 400N and maintain for 18s without damage, so as to produce qualified heavy-load 10kV high-current lightning arrester. The heavy-load 10kV high-current lightning arrester dissipates the heat absorbed by the target valve plate through the glass fiber epoxy resin layer. Due to the high thermal conductivity of the glass fiber epoxy resin, the lightning arrester's tolerance to high lightning current is improved, the failure rate is reduced, and the problem of frequent failure of the lightning arrester in the prior art is solved.

[0034] In order to ensure the safety of the lightning arrester, in an optional implementation manner, the above step S101 further includes:

[0035] Step S1011, connecting the target valve plate to the third electrode and the fourth electrode respectively, and grounding the fourth electrode;

[0036] Step S1012, inputting a DC voltage to the third electrode and measuring the leakage current to obtain a first leakage current;

[0037] Step S1013, adjusting the DC voltage until the leakage current reaches 1 mA, thereby obtaining a DC reference voltage, wherein the DC reference voltage is the DC reference voltage when the first leakage current reaches 1 mA;

[0038] Step S1014, inputting 0.75 times the DC reference voltage to the first electrode, and measuring the leakage current to obtain a second leakage current;

[0039] Step S1015 : When the second leakage current is less than 50 μA, it is determined that the target valve plate is qualified.

[0040] Specifically, use lint-free paper dipped in a small amount of anhydrous ethanol to wipe the dust on the surface of the core group, carefully move the entire core group with adjusted voltage to the test fixture, and place the test high-voltage conductive electrode on the top of the core group. The group is matched according to the DC reference voltage and the leakage current at 0.75 times the reference voltage to ensure that the DC voltage is within the required range. For example, the DC voltage is less than 1.15 times the DC reference voltage. The target valve piece with a leakage current of less than 50μA at 0.75 times the reference voltage is a qualified valve piece. Otherwise, the target valve piece is unqualified and needs to be eliminated and selected.

[0041] In order to ensure that the arrester forms a compact structure, in an optional implementation manner, the above step S102 includes:

[0042] Step S1021, assembling the fiberglass epoxy resin layer, the electrode pair, and the target valve disc to form a core assembly, such that the target valve disc is electrically connected to the first electrode of the electrode pair and the second electrode of the electrode pair, respectively, and the fiberglass epoxy resin layer is in contact with the target valve disc;

[0043] Step S1022, applying a coupling agent to the core group and letting it dry;

[0044] Step S1023, preheating the dried core group to obtain a preheated core group;

[0045] Step S1024, vulcanizing the preheated core assembly on a machine to obtain a jacket mold, so that the test of the vulcanization process on the machine meets the temperature requirements of the mold;

[0046] Step S1025, placing the silicone rubber in the outer shell mold, and using a molding process to attach the silicone rubber in the outer shell mold to the preheated core group to obtain an outer shell made of the silicone rubber;

[0047] Step S1026: sealing the outer jacket and the preheated core group to form the heavy-load 10kV high-current arrester.

[0048] Specifically, place the core group in a special coupling agent container and roll it to ensure uniform coating. After coating, let it dry, then place the core group in an oven for preheating, and finally put it on the machine for vulcanization. First, use a thermometer to test whether the mold cavity temperature is within the specified value. The lower mold test points are the center point of the mold surface on both sides of the mold and the edge position in the ejection direction. When testing the mold temperature, the center point temperature of the mold surface is required to be 150±5℃, and the edge position in the ejection direction is not lower than the middle point temperature by 10℃. The temperature of the corresponding point on the mold is ±10℃ different from the actual measured temperature of the lower mold. For mold vulcanization, first spread the rubber material in the lower mold cavity, center it, press the rubber material downwards by hand to make it "U" shaped in the mold cavity, place the core group in the mold cavity where the rubber material has been laid, and ensure that the core group positioning tooling and the mold positioning baffle are well matched, then place another piece of rubber material on the core group, press it down by hand to make the rubber material stick tightly to the core group, start the switch, vulcanize and form, place the product in the lower mold, place it on the tooling to cool, use a putty shovel to clean up the excess waste on both sides of the upper and lower molds to form a tightly structured arrester to avoid device dislocation. In addition, the arrester composite jacket is vulcanized using The high-strength glass fiber epoxy resin cylinder suitable for the vulcanization process is processed and formed with molded high-temperature vulcanized silicone rubber. The molded mixed silicone rubber must be suitable for the vulcanization process and have good electrical and mechanical properties. By adjusting the structure control agent and reinforcing filler used in the mixed rubber and adjusting the mixing process, the rubber compound has excellent high-temperature fluidity and heat-resistant aging activity, as well as excellent mechanical and electrical properties. Silane coupling agent is used to bond the epoxy cylinder and the silicone rubber outer sheath, so that the sheath and the epoxy cylinder become a complete whole, forming a heavy-load 10kV large-current arrester.

[0049] In addition, the above-mentioned jacket can protect the internal structure of the lightning arrester from damage. If the bending load test of the entire lightning arrester can reach 400N and be maintained for 18 seconds without damage, it can be determined that the quality of the jacket is qualified.

[0050] In order to achieve the lightning protection function, in an optional implementation, the above step S1021 includes:

[0051] Step S10211, installing the target valve disc in the cavity of the glass fiber epoxy resin cylinder, wherein the glass fiber epoxy resin cylinder is a cylindrical glass fiber epoxy resin layer;

[0052] Step S10212, respectively installing the first electrode and the second electrode on two opposite side walls of the glass fiber epoxy resin tube, so that the target valve plate is respectively connected to the second electrode and the first electrode of the electrode pair to form the core group.

[0053] Specifically, the cylindrical glass fiber epoxy resin layer forms the skeleton of the core group, and due to its high strength, it is suitable for the molding process. The first electrode and the second electrode are respectively installed on the two opposite side walls of the glass fiber epoxy resin cylinder, and the target valve plate is respectively connected to the second electrode and the first electrode of the electrode pair to enhance the contact preload force. The electrodes at both ends are tightened to form a core group, and the core group can realize the lightning protection function.

[0054] In order to further reduce the failure rate, in an optional implementation, the above step S1026 includes:

[0055] Step S10261, respectively connect the above-mentioned first electrode and the above-mentioned second electrode to the above-mentioned glass fiber epoxy resin tube through threads, apply room temperature curing glue on the connection of the above-mentioned threads, and set a sealing ring on the contact surface between the above-mentioned electrode pair and the above-mentioned glass fiber epoxy resin layer to form the above-mentioned sealed shell, so that the above-mentioned sealed shell and the above-mentioned target valve plate constitute the above-mentioned large-flow arrester.

[0056] Specifically, considering that the south belongs to a relatively humid area, according to incomplete statistics, 70% of the accidents of lightning arresters are caused by poor sealing. Therefore, the YH10W-17 / 45 model lightning arrester adopts a double sealing structure, the target valve plate is loaded into a high-strength glass fiber epoxy resin cylinder, the upper and lower electrodes of the core group are connected by threads, the threaded connection is coated with room temperature curing glue, and EPDM sealing rings are added to the contact surface of the upper and lower electrodes and the insulating cylinder to form a double seal, which prevents moisture, air and other substances from entering the large-flow lightning arrester, causing internal pollution and rust, etc., leading to failures, improving the service life of heavy-load 10kV large-flow lightning arresters and reducing the failure rate.

[0057] In order to further reduce the failure rate, in an optional implementation, after step S1026, the method further includes:

[0058] Step S201, testing the DC reference voltage and leakage current of the heavy-load 10 kV high-through-current arrester to obtain an initial DC reference voltage and an initial leakage current, wherein the initial leakage current is the leakage current of the heavy-load 10 kV high-through-current arrester at 0.75 times the initial DC reference voltage;

[0059] Step S202: placing the heavy-load 10 kV high-current arrester into salt water and boiling it for a predetermined time to obtain a heavy-load 10 kV high-current arrester to be tested;

[0060] Step S203, testing the DC reference voltage, leakage current, and discharge amount of partial discharge of the heavy-load 10 kV high-through-current arrester to be tested, and obtaining a DC reference voltage to be verified, a leakage current to be verified, and a partial discharge measurement value, wherein the leakage current to be verified is the leakage current of the heavy-load 10 kV high-through-current arrester to be tested at 0.75 times the initial DC reference voltage, and the partial discharge measurement value is the discharge amount of partial discharge at 1.05 times the initial DC reference voltage;

[0061] Step S204, when the three conditions of the first deviation being less than or equal to 5% of the above-mentioned initial DC reference voltage, the second deviation being less than or equal to 20μA, and the discharge amount of the above-mentioned partial discharge being less than or equal to 10pC are all met, it is determined that the sealing of the above-mentioned heavy-load 10kV large-current lightning arrester is qualified, the above-mentioned first deviation is the absolute value of the difference between the above-mentioned initial DC reference voltage and the above-mentioned DC reference voltage to be verified, and the above-mentioned second deviation is the absolute value of the difference between the above-mentioned leakage current to be verified and the above-mentioned initial leakage current.

[0062] Specifically, a heavy-load 10kV high-current arrester undergoes a sealing water boiling test. The arrester is placed in water containing 0.1% NaCl and boiled for 42 hours. After the boiling is completed, the following judgments are made: 1) The deviation of the DC reference voltage compared with the initial measurement does not exceed 5%; 2) The leakage current at 0.75 times the DC reference voltage does not change by more than 20μA compared with the initial measurement; 3) For partial discharge measurement, the measured value under Uc at 1.05 times the continuous operating voltage does not exceed 10pC.

[0063] In addition, in order to avoid the aging problem of the silicone rubber of the arrester composite jacket, the thickness of the silicone rubber composite jacket during one-piece vulcanization molding was increased from the original 3.5mm to 5.0mm.

[0064] In order to further reduce the failure rate, in an optional implementation, after step S10211 and before step S10212, the method further includes:

[0065] Step S201 , installing a pagoda-shaped spring between a target side wall and the target valve plate, so that the pagoda-shaped spring fixes the valve plate through elastic force, and the target side wall is the side wall on which the first electrode is installed.
