Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of electricity monitoring equipment, and in particular to a method and device for using an intelligent safety electricity monitoring module. Background Art
[0002] The combined electrical fire detector is an electrical fire detection device that can simultaneously monitor changes in voltage, current, temperature, residual current and other electrical values in the protected circuit. When the voltage, current, temperature, residual current and other electrical values in the protected circuit reach the alarm threshold pre-set by the detector, the detector outputs an alarm signal and generates a buzzer alarm.
[0003] Contactors are categorized as AC contactors (voltage AC) and DC contactors (voltage DC). They are used in power generation, distribution, and consumption. In a broad sense, a contactor refers to an electrical device in industrial power that uses a coil of current to generate a magnetic field, closing contacts to control the load.
[0004] At present, in the power consumption of the industry, the method for frequently controlling the AC power circuit is to use an AC contactor; however, the AC contactor cannot collect the electrical parameters of the circuit such as voltage, current, leakage, temperature, power, etc. For the prevention of electrical fires, a combined electrical fire monitoring detector needs to be installed separately; for the AC power circuit that is not frequently controlled, a smart switch can be used, which can not only control the power circuit but also monitor the electrical parameters of the power circuit such as voltage, current, leakage, temperature, power, etc. The mechanical life of the air switch is more than 4,000 times, while the mechanical life of the AC contactor can reach more than 1 million times; therefore, there is a lack of a safer and more reliable equipment for the AC power circuit that needs to be frequently controlled. Therefore, in response to the above problems, a method and device for using an intelligent safety power monitoring module are proposed. Summary of the Invention
