Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of lightning protection and arc extinguishing, and particularly relates to an arc extinguishing structure and an arc extinguishing method capable of reducing arc extinguishing gas trigger time. BACKGROUND
[0002] Lightning protection of power transmission lines has always been an important content of lightning protection work of the power department, and lightning fault is still one of the important factors affecting the safety of power grids. Lightning can cause different forms of damage and destruction to power facilities, and cloud discharge in power systems can cause lightning overvoltage. Lightning overvoltage can cause damage to insulators and power transmission lines. When lightning strikes the power transmission line, the impulse flashover caused by the lightning strike can cause the line insulator to flashover, and then a large power frequency current flow is generated, which can damage the insulator string and fittings, cause line accidents, and the lightning striking the power transmission line or the lightning conductor can cause strand breakage or even breakage, which can prevent power transmission work. In view of this, the power department generally installs a line lightning protection device on the power transmission line to achieve protection. The existing lightning protection and arc extinguishing device can make the voltage-second characteristic of the active arc extinguishing parallel gap more flat, but the existing lightning protection and arc extinguishing device can only reduce the wave front steepness of the lightning current, and cannot further attenuate the amplitude of the lightning current, and the attenuation capacity of the lightning current is limited. Since the generation of the upward leader of the traditional lightning rod needs to go through a delay time, this delay time will limit the timeliness of the vertical or horizontal lightning conductor, resulting in low sensitivity of the gas arc extinguishing mode to small current reaction, and in high soil resistivity areas or areas limited by terrain, it is often difficult to meet the requirement of reducing resistance. In view of the above problems, an arc extinguishing method capable of reducing arc extinguishing gas trigger time is proposed, which aims to improve the reliability of the new lightning protection and arc extinguishing device for insulator protection. SUMMARY

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0017] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the present application more clear and explicit, the following preferred embodiments are described with reference to the drawings. However, it should be noted that many details in the description are only to make the reader have a thorough understanding of one or more aspects of the present application, and the aspects of the present application can be realized without these specific details.
[0018] As Figure 1As shown, according to the arc extinguishing structure capable of reducing arc extinguishing gas trigger time provided by the application, the arc extinguishing structure comprises a high-voltage side electrode 3, a lightning rod electrode 5, a first Rogowski coil 6, a second Rogowski coil 7, an arc extinguishing tube 10, and a plurality of parallelly installed tower poles 8, the tower poles 8 are provided with insulators 2 for supporting the high-voltage transmission line 1, a plurality of air pellets 4 are sealed and distributed in the arc extinguishing tube 10, the first Rogowski coil 6 and the second Rogowski coil 7 are respectively and parallelly sleeved on two different tower poles 8, the output side of the first Rogowski coil 6 and the output side of the second Rogowski coil 7 are respectively connected to the air pellets 4 through wires, one side of the lightning rod electrode 5 is embedded on the side of the arc extinguishing tube 10, the other side of the lightning rod electrode 5 is connected to the tower pole 8 on which the second Rogowski coil 7 is sleeved, one end of the high-voltage side electrode 3 points to the high-voltage transmission line 1 at the insulator 2, the other end of the high-voltage side electrode 3 points to the lightning rod electrode 5, and the other end of the high-voltage side electrode 3 has an air gap 9 with the lightning rod electrode 5, in the application, two Rogowski coils are connected in parallel structure on the air pellets, and the preheating process of the air pellets by the ground lightning current is realized, due to the existence of the preheating process, when the lightning current breaks the gap, the air pellets can reach the trigger temperature threshold faster than in the case without heating, thereby realizing the purpose of reducing the arc extinguishing gas trigger time.
[0019] In the embodiment of the application, as shown in the figure, Figure 1 A capacitor 12 is connected in parallel between the wires at the output side of the first Rogowski coil 6, by selecting the appropriate size of the capacitor, the size of the induced current is ensured to be insufficient to trigger the air pellet 4, at this time, the air gap in the arc extinguishing tube 10 is not broken down in the preheating process; after lightning strikes the tower pole, the induced current in the first Rogowski coil 6 can preheat the air pellet 4, and due to the parallel connection of the capacitor 12, part of the energy is absorbed, limiting the voltage across the air pellet 12 from triggering the air pellet, so that the arc extinguishing time is advanced.
[0020] In the embodiment of the application, as shown in the figure, Figure 1 The bottom of the arc extinguishing tube 10 is closed and the upper end is open, the air pellets 4 are distributed in the upper end portion of the arc extinguishing tube 10, the air pellets 4 and the bottom of the arc extinguishing tube 10 have a cavity 40, one side of the lightning rod electrode 5 is embedded in the side wall of the cavity 40, and the cavity 40 can absorb part of the heat in the preheating process, so that the air pellets in the arc extinguishing tube 10 are not too high in temperature in the preheating process.
[0021] In the application, the arc extinguishing process of the arc extinguishing structure of the application is further described:
[0022] 1) Lightning rod tower produces induced current: when lightning occurs, lightning strikes the tower, lightning current flows through the tower into the ground, and the first Rogowski coil induces current, which plays a role in preheating the air pellet 4. Since the capacitor 11 is connected in parallel with the first Rogowski coil, by selecting the appropriate size of the capacitor, the size of the induced current is ensured to be insufficient to trigger the air pellet, and at this time the air gap is not broken down during the preheating process.
[0023] 2) Parallel connection between two Rogowski coils: Rogowski coil is a reactive magnetic field, and the output is a high-frequency pulse. The Rogowski coil is high impedance and does not participate in the discharge of lightning current. The output current generated by the Rogowski coil is added to the air pellet resistance, producing a thermal effect that advances the gas release time.
[0024] 3) Arc-triggered arc-extinguishing air pellet: When lightning strikes the transmission line, the arc back strikes the tower, and at this time the second Rogowski coil generates an induced current that will trigger the action of the built-in arc-extinguishing air pellet to produce high-speed high-pressure gas. Then, the high-speed high-pressure gas produced acts on the residual arc, and at this time the arc is greatly reduced in energy after the recoil effect, and the arc-extinguishing difficulty is greatly reduced. At this time, the gas is extremely easy to destroy the arc channel, thereby extinguishing the arc.
[0025] According to another aspect of the present application, as Figure 1 shown, the present application provides an arc-extinguishing method capable of reducing the triggering time of arc-extinguishing gas, which includes the following methods: when lightning strikes the tower 8, the first Rogowski coil 6 is used to induce the lightning current on the tower 8 and output the first induced current. The thermal effect of the first induced current preheats the air pellet 4 in the arc-extinguishing tube 10, causing the internal temperature of the air pellet 4 to rise. When lightning strikes the high-voltage transmission line 1, the arc occurs on the insulator 2 to produce lightning current, and the arc back strikes the air gap 9 on the high-voltage side electrode 3. After the arc back strikes the air gap 9 between the high-voltage side electrode 3 and the lightning rod electrode 5, the arc back strikes the air gap 9 between the high-voltage side electrode 3 and the lightning rod electrode 5, and the second Rogowski coil 7 is used to induce the arc on the tower 8 and output the second induced current. The second induced current triggers the air pellet 4 built into the arc-extinguishing tube 10, causing the air pellet 21 to be impacted by the high-temperature arc and explode in advance. The high-temperature arc impact generates high-pressure gas, and a high-speed airflow is instantly generated from the upper end of the arc-extinguishing tube 10 and acts on the residual arc, thereby extinguishing the arc. The air pellet 4 (gas generating material) in the arc-extinguishing tube 10 is impacted and exploded by the high-temperature arc, rapidly heated to generate high-pressure gas, and a high-speed airflow is instantly generated and sprayed out of the arc-extinguishing tube 10. The high-speed airflow sprayed out blows the arc and extinguishes the residual arc, achieving reliable arc interruption.
[0026] In the embodiment of the present application, the hot effect of the first induced current is used to preheat the gas pellet 4, so that the internal temperature of the gas pellet 4 in the arc extinguishing tube 10 is less than half to four-fifths of the temperature when triggered, and the preheating of the hot gas pellet 4 is carried out in a critical condition of being triggered to explode, and the voltage at both ends of the gas pellet is limited so as not to trigger the gas pellet. When the arc back strike breaks the air gap 9 between the high-voltage electrode 3 and the lightning electrode 5, the arc is introduced into the tower 8 for release, and the second induced current triggers the gas pellet 4 built in the arc extinguishing tube 10 without further preheating, and the gas pellet 4 is triggered to explode instantaneously. The high-pressure gas generated after the explosion of the gas pellet 4 blows out the residual arc to extinguish the arc, so that the arc extinguishing time is advanced.
[0027] In the present application, as shown in the figure, Figure 2 When the tower is struck by lightning, the first Rogowski coil 6 induces an output current by lightning current, and the hot effect of the output current is used to heat the gas pellet 4, so that the internal temperature of the gas pellet 4 is increased. When the transmission line is struck by lightning, the second Rogowski coil 7 induces an output current by lightning back strike breaking the air gap, and the induced current output by the second Rogowski coil 7 triggers the gas pellet 4 to test the explosion gas flow response time (after triggering, it is considered), CH1 represents the triggering pulse, and the mutation point of CH2 is the moment when the high-speed gas flow is generated. After the tower is struck by lightning, the induced current exists in the first Rogowski coil 6, which can preheat the gas pellet 4, and due to the parallel action of the capacitor 11, the voltage at both ends of the gas pellet is limited so as not to trigger the gas pellet, so that the arc extinguishing time is advanced. When the transmission line is struck by lightning, the arc extinguishing structure works, so it can be seen that the time interval from the generation of the triggering pulse to the moment of the gas flow generation is about 0.2 ms. The triggering of the gas pellet 4 has a voltage threshold. Due to the advance of the arc extinguishing time, the triggering voltage waveform of the gas pellet 4 is CH2', which can make the gas pellet trigger faster at the moment of zero voltage, shorten the triggering time, and greatly shorten the arc extinguishing time. The present application can extinguish the arc in the small current stage, improve the arc extinguishing efficiency, and the internal instantaneous current value is small, which will not cause system overvoltage.
[0028] The above only describes the preferred embodiments of the present application, and it should be noted that those skilled in the art can make some improvements and refinements without departing from the principles of the present application, and these improvements and refinements should also be considered as the protection scope of the present application.
