[0071] In the preferred embodiment of the topology of the zero-zone transverse magnetic reinforced high current circuit breaker, the current limiting resistor includes any one or a combination of ceramic resistors, aluminum shell resistors, and cement resistors.
[0072] In the preferred embodiment of the topology of the zero-zone transverse magnetic reinforced high current circuit breaker, the auxiliary switch includes any one or a combination of vacuum switches, air switches, and power electronic switches.
[0073] The breaking method of the topology of the zero-zone transverse magnetic reinforced high current circuit breaker includes the following steps,
[0074] Step S100: sending a breaking instruction to the fast vacuum switch when the fault current drops to a first characteristic value;
[0075] Step S200: triggering the thyristor assembly when the fault current drops to a second characteristic value, the transfer module releases a transfer current to the fast vacuum switch, the current of the fast vacuum switch drops rapidly, the direct current component decays, an artificial zero point is made, at the same time, the transfer current flows through the transverse magnetic coil, a transverse magnetic field is synchronously applied between the contact gaps of the fast vacuum switch, the dissipation of the zero region residual plasma is accelerated, and the post-arc medium recovery capability is enhanced;
[0076] Step S300: the fast vacuum switch is opened at zero, the thyristor assembly is cut off at zero, the fault current is limited by the current limiting module, a breaking instruction is sent to the auxiliary switch, and the breaking of the fault current is completed.
[0077] A computer storage medium, the storage medium comprising computer instructions, when running on a computer, causes the computer to execute the method.
[0078] An electronic device, the electronic device comprising:
[0079] a memory, a processor, and a computer program stored on the memory and executable on the processor, wherein,
[0080] the processor implements the method when executing the program.
[0081] In one embodiment, a topology of a zero region transverse magnetic field reinforced high current circuit breaker comprises,
[0082] a zero region transverse magnetic field reinforced vacuum switch module comprising,
[0083] a fast vacuum switch comprising a static contact and a moving contact, the static contact and the moving contact adopt a cup-shaped longitudinal magnetic structure,
[0084] a transverse magnetic coil, the transverse magnetic coil is close to the contact system of the fast vacuum switch and is reused in the transfer module in series;
[0085] a transfer module, the transfer module is connected in parallel with the fast vacuum switch through an auxiliary switch;
[0086] a current limiting module, the current limiting module is connected in parallel with the transfer module. After forced transfer zero of the fast vacuum switch, due to the extremely high current change rate before zero, the residual plasma in the contact gap cannot be completely dissipated, the post-arc medium recovery capability is reduced, and the fast vacuum switch is easily broken down and reignited by the transient recovery voltage. The topology of the zero region transverse magnetic field reinforced high current circuit breaker can accelerate the dissipation speed of the zero region residual plasma, enhance the medium recovery capability of the fast vacuum switch after forced zero, improve the breaking reliability of the traditional current transfer type circuit breaker, and meet the protection requirements at the outlet of a large generator.
[0087] In the preferred embodiment of the topology, the transverse magnetic coil is connected in series with the loop formed by the transfer capacitor, the transfer inductor and the thyristor assembly, which can reuse the transfer current to apply a transverse magnetic field in the contact system of the fast vacuum switch.
[0088] The breaking method of the topology of the zero-zone transverse magnetic reinforcement type high-current circuit breaker comprises the following steps:
[0089] Step S100: When the fault current drops to a first characteristic value, send a breaking instruction to the fast vacuum switch S1.
[0090] Step S200: When the fault current drops to a second characteristic value, trigger the thyristor assembly, and the transfer module releases the transfer current to the fast vacuum switch S1, the current of the fast vacuum switch S1 drops rapidly, the direct current component decays, and an artificial zero point is created. At the same time, the transfer current flows through the transverse magnetic coil L1, and a transverse magnetic field is synchronously applied to the contact gap of the fast vacuum switch S1, accelerating the dissipation of the zero-zone residual plasma and enhancing the post-arc medium recovery capability.
[0091] Step S300: The fast vacuum switch S1 breaks at zero, the thyristor assembly turns off at zero, the fault current is limited by the current limiting module, a breaking instruction is sent to the auxiliary switch S2, and the fault current breaking is completed.
[0092] In the preferred embodiment of the breaking method, in step S100, when the fault current drops to the first characteristic value, a breaking instruction is sent to the fast vacuum switch S1. The first characteristic value ensures that the moving contact and the stationary contact of the fast vacuum switch reach a certain opening distance when the current transfer zero-crossing, which can withstand the post-arc transient recovery voltage in cooperation with the transverse magnetic field of the zero-zone.
[0093] In the preferred embodiment of the breaking method, in step S200, when the fault current drops to the second characteristic value, a conduction instruction is sent to the thyristor assembly, and the transfer capacitor C and the inductor oscillate to generate high-frequency transfer current. To ensure that the current of the fast vacuum switch S1 can reliably produce a zero-crossing point, the second characteristic value needs to be less than the peak value of the transfer current, and should have a margin of 5kA~10kA. At the same time, considering the time required for the action of the relay protection and the action of the power electronic device, the time from the second characteristic value to the minimum value of the fault current cannot be too short to ensure that a zero-crossing point is generated before the minimum value of the fault current.
[0094] In one embodiment, a topology structure is shown in Figure 1, including a zero region transverse magnetic reinforcement type vacuum switch module, a transfer module, a current limiting module and an auxiliary switch S2, the transfer module is connected in parallel between the two ends of the zero region transverse magnetic reinforcement type vacuum switch module through the auxiliary switch S2, and the current limiting module is connected in parallel between the two ends of the transfer module. Wherein, the zero region transverse magnetic reinforcement type vacuum switch module includes a fast vacuum switch S1 and a transverse magnetic coil L1; the transfer module includes a transfer capacitor C, a transfer inductor L2 and thyristor components T1 and T2, and the transverse magnetic coil L1 is reused in the transfer module; the current limiting module includes a current limiting resistor R. In the embodiment of the present application, the fast vacuum switch adopts a cup-shaped longitudinal magnetic contact, as shown in Figure 2, which includes a static contact cup 1, a static contact piece 2, a moving contact piece 3, a moving contact cup 4, a static conductive rod 5 and a moving conductive rod 6. Wherein, the static contact cup 1 and the moving contact cup 4 are provided with inclined grooves in the same direction, when the current flows through the static contact cup 1-vacuum arc 8-moving contact cup 4, a longitudinal magnetic field 7 is generated in the gap between the moving and static contacts, under the action of the longitudinal magnetic field, the vacuum arc 8 presents a diffusion state, which can reduce the local ablation of the contact surface, and is beneficial to improve the current breaking capacity of the vacuum switch.
[0095] In the embodiment of the present application, in the current transfer process, a transverse magnetic field is applied to the contact gap of the fast vacuum switch by the transverse magnetic coil to improve the post-arc medium recovery capability.
[0096] In the normal current flowing state, as shown in Figure 3(a), the moving contact and the static contact are in close contact, and the current flows from one end to the other end. After the fault occurs, the fast vacuum switch receives the opening instruction, the moving contact starts to move, the contact gap generates vacuum arc plasma, which is mainly composed of a large number of electrons, ions and metal particles, under the action of the longitudinal magnetic field generated in the contact cup, the vacuum arc presents a diffusion state, as shown in Figure 3(b). When the transfer module releases the transfer current, the current of the fast vacuum switch decreases rapidly, and at the same time, the transverse magnetic coil applies a transverse magnetic field to the contact gap, which drives the vacuum arc to move to one side of the contact, as shown in Figure 3(c), the micro-particles of the plasma quickly fly away from the contact gap under the action of the transverse magnetic field, accelerating the plasma dissipation process. When the current reaches zero, the amount of residual plasma in the contact gap is very low, and the post-arc medium recovery capability of the fast vacuum switch is improved.
[0097] In the embodiment of the present application, the topology structure of the high current circuit breaker can realize bidirectional breaking, and the breaking process of the forward breaking can be divided into four stages, as shown in Figures 4(a) to 4(d), and the current waveform diagram of the forward breaking process is shown in Figure 5.
[0098] Figure 4(a) is a normal current flowing stage of the circuit breaker, in which stage, the current flows in from the left end of the circuit breaker, passes through the fast vacuum switch and flows out from the right end. The pre-charging polarity of the transfer capacitor C is left negative and right positive.
[0099] Figure 4(b) illustrates the arc initiation and zero-crossing phases of the circuit breaker's operation. During this phase, the control system monitors the circuit current in real time. When a fault condition is detected and the short-circuit current drops to the first characteristic value, the control system sends a trip command to the fast vacuum switch, causing the moving and stationary contacts to separate and generate a vacuum arc. When the short-circuit current drops to the second characteristic value, the control system triggers thyristor T1, causing the transfer capacitor C and inductor to oscillate and generate a high-frequency transfer current. This transfer current is superimposed on the branch of the fast vacuum switch S1, causing the current flowing through the fast vacuum switch S1 to drop rapidly. Simultaneously, the transfer current flows through the transverse magnetic coil L1, applying a transverse magnetic field to the contact gap of the fast vacuum switch, accelerating the dissipation of the remaining plasma in the zero zone. When the current drops to the zero-crossing point, the fast vacuum switch successfully withstands the transient recovery voltage after the arc, and the short-circuit current begins to transfer to the current limiting module.
[0100] Figure 4(c) shows the current-limiting stage of the circuit breaker. In this stage, as the thyristor T1 cuts off at zero, all the short-circuit current is transferred to the current-limiting module. The current-limiting resistor has a relatively large resistance value, which can quickly dissipate fault energy and limit the short-circuit current to a low level.
[0101] Figure 4(d) shows the successful interruption stage of the circuit breaker. In this stage, the short-circuit current has been limited, and the control system sends a trip command to the auxiliary switch S2 to successfully interrupt the fault current.
[0102] The first and second characteristic values during the current interruption process are determined by the control strategy. The basic principle for selecting the first characteristic value is to ensure that the moving and stationary contacts of the fast vacuum switch reach a certain opening distance when the current transfers to zero, so as to cooperate with the transverse magnetic field of the zero zone and ensure that it can withstand the transient recovery voltage after the arc. In actual circuit breaker operation, the setting of control parameters also needs to consider factors such as the mechanical delay of the operating mechanism. The basic principle for selecting the second characteristic value is that it needs to be less than the peak value of the transfer current. In order to ensure that the current of the fast vacuum switch S1 can reliably generate a zero-crossing point, a margin of 5kA to 10kA should be reserved. At the same time, considering that the relay protection action and the power electronic device action require time, the time from the second characteristic value to the minimum value of the fault current cannot be too short, so as to ensure that the zero-crossing point is generated before the minimum value of the fault current.
[0103] The circuit breaker can achieve bidirectional interruption. During reverse interruption, the fault current flows in from the right end of the circuit breaker, passes through the fast vacuum switch, and flows out from the left end. At this time, the pre-charge polarity of the transfer capacitor C is left negative and right positive. The transfer current generated after conduction cannot make the fast vacuum switch current cross zero. Therefore, it is necessary to trigger the thyristor T1 in advance to reverse the polarity of the transfer capacitor C to left positive and right negative. The subsequent control strategy and interruption principle are basically the same as those for forward interruption, and will not be elaborated here. A schematic diagram of the current waveform during reverse interruption is shown in Figure 6.
[0104] In another embodiment, the circuit breaker adopts a topology based on vacuum multi-break parallel connection, as shown in FIG. 7. The breaking capacity of a single vacuum break is far less than the short-circuit breaking requirement of a megawatt-level generator outlet, and the parallel connection of multiple vacuum breaks can effectively improve the breaking capacity of the circuit breaker. Each vacuum break is equipped with a transverse magnetic coil, and the transverse magnetic coils are connected in parallel. In order to improve the current sharing characteristics of the parallel breaks, the vacuum breaks and the transverse magnetic coils used in parallel need to use products of the same model and the same batch.
[0105] In this embodiment, the application method of the circuit breaker includes the following steps:
[0106] Step S100: When the fault current drops to a first characteristic value, send a breaking instruction to all vacuum switches of the vacuum multi-break parallel module S1 synchronously;
[0107] Step S200: When the fault current drops to a second characteristic value, trigger the thyristor assembly, and the transfer module releases a high-frequency transfer current to the vacuum multi-break parallel module S1, the current of each vacuum break branch drops rapidly, the direct current component decays, and an artificial zero point is created. At the same time, the transfer current flows through each transverse magnetic coil L1, and a transverse magnetic field is synchronously applied between the contact gaps of each vacuum break, accelerating the dissipation of zero-zone residual plasma and enhancing the dielectric recovery capability after the vacuum break arc;
[0108] Step S300: The vacuum multi-break parallel module S1 breaks over zero, the thyristor assembly breaks over zero, the fault current is limited by the current limiting module, a breaking instruction is sent to the auxiliary switch S2, and the breaking of the fault current is completed.
