[0033] Example 1

[0034] This embodiment provides an intelligent tripping method for a circuit breaker, which is applied to, for example... Figure 1 The circuit breaker shown has an intelligent tripping system 1. The input terminal of the intelligent tripping system 1 is connected to a combined current transformer 2, and the output terminal is connected to a flux converter 3. The combined current transformer 2 includes an energy converter and a Rogowski coil 21. The energy converter is used to power the intelligent tripping system 1, and the Rogowski coil 21 is used to collect the primary current of the circuit breaker at different operating frequencies at the front end.

[0035] The intelligent tripping system 1 is used to filter the primary current signal, acquire the filtered secondary current, and calibrate the secondary current to fit the primary current. When the fitted primary current exceeds the preset tripping threshold of the intelligent tripping system 1, the intelligent tripping system issues a tripping command to the flux converter to trip.

[0036] Continue reading Figure 1 The intelligent tripping system 1 includes an RC integral filter unit 11 and a processing unit 12. The input terminal of the RC integral filter unit 11 is connected to the Rogowski coil 21, the output terminal of the RC integral filter unit 11 is connected to the input terminal of the processing unit 12, and the output terminal of the processing unit 12 is connected to the flux converter 3.

[0037] In this embodiment, the RC integral filter unit 11 is used to acquire the primary current of the circuit breaker at different operating frequencies at the front end collected by the Rogowski coil 21, and to integrate and filter the primary current to ensure the measurement accuracy at low frequencies and to ensure that high-order harmonics at high frequencies do not affect the effectiveness of the processing unit.

[0038] Please see Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram illustrating an exemplary process for a circuit breaker's intelligent tripping method. Figure 2 As shown, the intelligent tripping method includes the following steps:

[0039] S21 continuously acquires the secondary current I2 output by the RC integral filter unit at different operating frequencies.

[0040] In this embodiment, the secondary current I2 output by the RC integral filter unit at different operating frequencies is obtained by dividing the collected output port voltage V3 of the RC integral filter unit by the ratio K2 between the output current and the AD sampling input.

[0041] S23, based on the input-output characteristics between the primary current of the circuit breaker at different operating frequencies acquired by the Rogowski coil and the secondary current output by the RC integral filter unit at different operating frequencies, the second current is calibrated to obtain a fitted primary current. In this embodiment, the input-output characteristics between the primary current and the secondary current are related to the operating frequency of the primary current. In this embodiment, the input-output characteristics between the primary current of the circuit breaker at different operating frequencies acquired by the Rogowski coil and the secondary current output by the RC integral filter unit at different operating frequencies are used to reconstruct the primary current of the Rogowski coil in low-frequency applications, so as to realize the function of the Rogowski coil as a measure of low-frequency (lower operating frequency) current and for line protection.

[0042] S24, compare the fitted primary current with the preset tripping threshold of the intelligent tripping system. When the fitted primary current exceeds the preset tripping threshold of the intelligent tripping system, the intelligent tripping system issues a tripping command, and the flux converter executes the tripping command.

[0043] In this embodiment, to facilitate subsequent primary-side current calibration, such as Figure 2 As shown, after S21, the intelligent tripping method also includes:

[0044] S22, calculate the operating frequency f of the primary current.

[0045] To accurately calculate the operating frequency of the primary current, S22 specifically includes the following steps:

[0046] S221, record the continuous sampling time points of the secondary current, and arbitrarily select the first sampling time point t1 and the second sampling time point t2, wherein the second sampling time point t2 is greater than the first sampling time point t1.

[0047] S222, determine the third sampling time point t3 based on the first sampling time point t1 and the fourth sampling time point t4 based on the second sampling time point t2, wherein the third sampling time point t3 is equal to the first sampling time point t1 plus the sampling time interval Δt, and the fourth sampling time point t4 is equal to the second sampling time point t2 plus the sampling time interval Δt.

[0048] S223, acquire the first output port voltage U(t1), second output port voltage U(t2), third output port voltage U(t3), and fourth output port voltage U(t4) output by the RC integral filter unit at the first sampling time point t1, the second sampling time point t2, the third sampling time point t3, and the fourth sampling time point t4.

[0049] S224, when the product of the first output port voltage U(t1) and the third output port voltage U(t3) is less than or equal to 0, and the product of the second output port voltage U(t2) and the fourth output port voltage U(t4) is less than or equal to 0, calculate the time interval (i.e. t2-t1) between the corresponding second sampling time point t2 and the first sampling time point t1, where the time interval t2-t1 between the second sampling time point and the first sampling time point is half a working cycle.

[0050] S225, calculate the operating frequency of the primary current based on the duty cycle.

[0051] In this embodiment, when the primary current operating frequency f is the independent variable, the ratio between the primary current collected by the Rogowski coil at different operating frequencies and the secondary current output by the RC integral filter unit at different operating frequencies is defined as follows: When used as the dependent variable, current ratio The response to the primary current operating frequency f is a unit step response, such as... Figure 3 As shown.

[0052] Specifically, the response of the current ratio to the operating frequency of the primary current is expressed as:

[0053]

[0054] Where I2 is the secondary current output by the RC integral filter unit at different operating frequencies, I1 is the primary current collected by the Rogowski coil at different operating frequencies, f is the operating frequency of the primary current, and F is the frequency constant, i.e., F is A frequency equal to 0.632.

[0055] Therefore, in order to improve the measurement accuracy of the primary current, the input-output characteristics between the primary current of the circuit breaker at different operating frequencies collected by the Rogowski coil and the secondary current output by the RC integral filter unit at different operating frequencies are as follows: the operating frequency of the primary current is the independent variable, the current ratio between the secondary current and the primary current is the dependent variable, and the response of the current ratio to the operating frequency of the primary current is a unit step response. In this embodiment, S23 uses formula (1) to calibrate the secondary current I2 output by the RC integral filter unit at different operating frequencies to fit the primary current collected by the Rogowski coil at different operating frequencies.

[0056] In this embodiment, the source current Where I1 is the primary current at different operating frequencies of the front end collected by the Rogowski coil, and ω = 2πf.

[0057] Input port voltage of RC integral filter unit The formula can be simplified as follows: C1 is a constant, that is n is the number of turns of the Rogowski coil, A is the cross-sectional area of ​​the Rogowski coil, and μ0 is the permeability of free space.

[0058] Furthermore, because the output port voltage of the RC integral filter unit The formula can be simplified as follows: C3 is a constant, that is K2 is the ratio between the output current and the AD sampling input, and it is a fixed value.

[0059] In this embodiment, by comparing the output port voltage V3 of the RC integral filter unit with the input port voltage V1 of the RC integral filter unit, the relationship between the secondary current I2 output by the RC integral filter unit at different operating frequencies and the primary current I1 of the front end sampled by the Rogowski coil at different operating frequencies can be obtained, i.e. and This can be obtained by calculating the modulus parameter of the amplification factor of the RC integral filter unit, i.e. equal For example, such as Figure 4 In the exemplary hardware circuit of the RC integral filter unit shown, the RC integral filter unit 11 includes an RC integral low-pass filter circuit, which includes resistors R1 and R2, and a filter capacitor C4. Therefore, the modulus parameter of the amplification factor of the RC integral filter unit... in,

[0060] Therefore, in order to improve the measurement accuracy of the primary current, the input-output characteristics between the primary current acquired by the Rogowski coil at different operating frequencies and the secondary current output by the RC integrating filter unit at different operating frequencies are as follows: When the modulus parameter of the amplification factor of the RC integrating filter unit is related to the RC of the integrating circuit and the operating frequency, it can be expressed by the following formula:

[0061] The secondary current I2 output by the RC integral filter unit at different operating frequencies is calibrated to fit the primary current at different operating frequencies collected by the Rogowski coil. Among them, the modulus parameter of the amplification factor of the RC integral filter unit. C3 is the ratio of the effective value of the output port voltage of the RC integral filter unit to the effective value of the input port voltage of the RC integral filter unit. The effective value of the output port voltage of the RC integral filter unit is C3*I2, where C3 is a constant, and the effective value of the input port voltage of the RC integral filter unit is equal to C1*I1f, where C1 is a constant.

[0062] Please see Figure 5A and Figure 5B The figures show a comparison of the calibration results of the primary current based on the input-output characteristics of the primary current at different operating frequencies acquired by the Rogowski coil and the secondary current output by the RC integral filter unit at different operating frequencies. Figure 5A As shown, under different operating frequencies with a constant primary current, the calibration current curve A is basically close to the primary current curve B. Figure 5B As shown, under different operating frequencies, the calibration current value D curve is basically close to the primary current C curve. This means that the intelligent tripping method provided by this invention can achieve accurate measurement of the primary current at different operating frequencies, from low frequency 2-20Hz to normal operating frequency 50 / 60Hz or even higher.
