Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of transformer equipment fault protection, and in particular to a transformer non-electrical quantity protection system. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, pressure relief valves are widely used as pressure protection devices in transformers. When the internal pressure of the transformer increases during operation, reaching the opening pressure of the pressure relief valve, the valve opens its diaphragm to spray oil, releasing the pressure inside the transformer tank. Simultaneously, the pressure relief valve sends an alarm or trip signal. When a transformer experiences a low-energy fault, the pressure relief valve can release the overpressure, allowing the transformer to continue operating or preventing serious damage. For high-energy faults, the pressure relief valve cannot release the overpressure in a timely manner, especially when the pressure relief valve is too far from the fault location; in such cases, the pressure wave can cause damage to other locations. Summary of the Invention

After processing the pressure relief diaphragm status information and the pressure relief baffle status information, it is sent to the main control module.
[0008] The main control module is used to receive pressure information from the acquisition module and convert the pressure information into data format to send to the human-machine interaction module.

[0031] The input module, connected to the main control module, is used to collect the status of the pressure relief diaphragm and the pressure relief baffle of the transformer to obtain the pressure relief diaphragm status information and the pressure relief baffle status information. After processing the pressure relief diaphragm status information and the pressure relief baffle status information, it is sent to the main control module.
[0032] The input module is specifically used to collect the status of the pressure relief diaphragm and the pressure relief baffle of the transformer to obtain the pressure relief diaphragm status information and the pressure relief baffle status information.

[0049] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the functional modules of the transformer non-electrical quantity protection system according to an embodiment of the present invention;
[0050] General principle introduction:
[0051] The input circuit collects switch signals such as the diaphragm circuit status, baffle position status, and oil leakage switch status of the rapid pressure relief device. After photoelectric isolation, the external high voltage signal is converted into a low voltage signal for the main CPU to read in real time. The software performs anti-bouncing processing on the original switch status and uses it as the input condition for logic judgment. After the trip condition is met, a trip command is sent through the output circuit.
[0052] An output circuit is used to realize the output of alarm signals or trip commands, and opto-isolation chips are used to improve anti-interference performance.
[0053] The analog signal acquisition circuit acquires the pressure value at the installation location of the rapid pressure relief device. This circuit performs signal isolation and amplitude conversion of the pressure value, outputting a voltage signal that meets the input requirements of the analog-to-digital converter (ADC). The main CPU reads the output of the ADC, calculates the actual magnitude of the corresponding analog signal using a suitable algorithm, and then stores and performs logical judgments on it.
[0054] The data processing module incorporates a large-capacity external data storage and flash memory chip to store analog data and set parameters, respectively. A key function of this section is to perform logical function judgments and record and store fault data. When it is determined that an overpressure has caused the explosion-proof diaphragm to rupture, a trip command is issued, and the pressure values before and after the fault are stored to provide reference data for subsequent fault analysis.
[0055] The communication module can transmit the collected data to a remote monitoring computer, and can also receive time synchronization commands and remote control commands issued by the remote computer.
[0056] The technical solution of the present invention:
[0057] Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the principle of pressure analog quantity conversion in the transformer non-electrical quantity protection system according to an embodiment of the present invention;
[0058] The pressure sensor used for acquisition is a current-type pressure sensor with an output of 4-20mA. Current-type sensors have a long transmission distance and strong anti-interference capability. The input current signal is converted into a voltage signal through a current-to-voltage circuit, during which the voltage amplitude is conditioned. After passing through a low-pass filter circuit to eliminate interference signals, it passes through a signal isolation circuit. This provides electrical isolation between the input and output circuits, improving anti-interference capability. The analog-to-digital converter converts the input voltage signal into discrete digital values. The main CPU system acquires this signal in real time and performs storage and logical judgment.
[0059] Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of the input-output conversion principle of the transformer non-electrical quantity protection system according to an embodiment of the present invention;
[0060] The pressure relief device outputs three diaphragm circuit monitoring nodes to indicate the status of the diaphragm circuit. During transformer operation, when the pressure is within the normal range, the diaphragm circuit monitoring nodes are normally open. When the pressure exceeds the limit, the pressure relief valve activates, the normally open node output by the diaphragm rupture closes, and a diaphragm abnormality signal is sent. After the diaphragm ruptures, transformer oil is sprayed through the pressure relief device, triggering a baffle switch, whose normally open node closes, sending a baffle activation signal.
[0061] The position status of the three diaphragm circuits and the baffle switch is electrically isolated and amplitude-converted via optocouplers to improve anti-interference capability. The amplitude conversion transforms external high-voltage signals into low-voltage signals for real-time acquisition and logical judgment by the main CPU system, which then determines whether to output a trip command based on the logical judgment result. When any two of the three diaphragm circuits are detected to be abnormal, and the baffle switch is activated simultaneously, it is determined that the pressure relief protection system has been activated, the internal pressure of the transformer has exceeded the limit, and a trip command needs to be issued to cut off the power supply to the transformer and prevent secondary disasters caused by transformer explosion and fire.
[0062] Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram of the trip command logic judgment of the transformer non-electrical quantity protection system according to an embodiment of the present invention. It illustrates the logic judgment for issuing a trip command when the diaphragm circuit is abnormal.
[0063] This invention collects the status of the three diaphragm circuits of the pressure relief protection system in real time, uses a two-out-of-three logic for judgment, and combines the action signal of the baffle switch to output a trip command to cut off the power supply to the transformer, prevent the transformer from exploding and catching fire, and avoid secondary disasters caused by the fault.
[0064] This invention collects transformer pressure data in real time. When a transformer malfunctions and the internal pressure rises, the pressure relief protection system is activated and oil is injected to relieve the pressure. The changes in pressure values before and after the activation are recorded, providing analytical data for finding the cause of the accident.
[0065] When a transformer encounters a high-energy arc fault, this invention can collect non-electrical information caused by the action of the pressure release system and issue an action signal after logical judgment to cut off the power supply to the transformer in a timely manner, preventing the pressure wave from causing damage to other locations.
[0066] This invention collects the status of three independent diaphragm circuits in the pressure relief protection system. Based on any two diaphragm circuits showing anomalies, it initially determines that the transformer's internal pressure is abnormal. Simultaneously, it collects the status of the baffle switch to further confirm that the pressure relief protection system has activated, issuing a trip command to disconnect the transformer's power supply. Using this logic algorithm ensures that false trip commands are not issued, thus preventing malfunctions and improving the reliability of the operation.
[0067] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, and not to limit them; although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features; and these modifications or substitutions to the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the present solution.
