Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of lightning protection for railway trackside signal equipment, and in particular to a lightning protection system for trackside signal equipment on a non-electrified line. Background Art

[0002] On non-electrified railway lines, trackside signal equipment lacks direct lightning protection from overhead lines. It is located in the LPZ0A area of ​​the lightning protection zone and may be struck by direct lightning. It also receives all the lightning electromagnetic pulse energy from nearby ground lightning. The lightning electromagnetic environment is relatively harsh. Non-electrified lines do not have through ground wires, and most trackside equipment has poor grounding conditions. The lightning overvoltage coupled on the cable armor, equipment casing and core wire is not dispersed effectively. Even if independent grounding bodies are installed at some equipment, due to the limited construction space near the line, the high soil resistivity, and the presence of sand and gravel in most soils, the power frequency grounding resistance of independent grounding bodies is mostly high. Even when tested after rain, the grounding resistance value is mostly greater than 10Ω, which is not conducive to lightning current discharge and the equipment is easily harmed by lightning.

[0003] In addition, the high-post signal machine beside the track is relatively high and has no lightning protection device, which makes it easy to be struck by lightning. After the high-post signal machine is protected by lightning, it will cause damage to the high-post signal machine's bulb, lighting unit, and nearby signal equipment or related signal equipment.

[0004] In addition, the lightning protection configuration of existing trackside equipment takes into account the actual lightning overvoltage level that may be encountered, without comprehensive consideration of the overvoltage level, insulation tolerance, lightning environment of the location, etc. Some equipment ports do not even have surge protectors on the external lines. When the equipment is invaded by lightning overvoltage and overcurrent, lightning damage failures are prone to occur.

[0005] In view of this, the present invention is proposed. Summary of the invention

[0054] In order to more clearly demonstrate the technical solution and technical effects provided by the present invention, the solution provided by the embodiment of the present invention is described in detail with specific embodiments below.

[0055] Example 1

[0056] The embodiment of the present invention provides a lightning protection system for trackside signal equipment on non-electrified lines, which mainly includes measures such as interception of direct lightning strikes, good grounding, suppression of differential mode overvoltage between rails, setting of shunt devices, suppression of lightning current intrusion along the line, shielding, and visualization of lightning information, see Figure 2The various measures are interrelated, and the suppression of lightning current is complementary to each other. Through the action of each part, a holistic and systematic protection is achieved. Figure 1 shown.

[0057] In the above system, the structure of the insulating lightning rod as a direct lightning interception device is as follows: Figure 3 The lightning-termination part of the insulated lightning-termination rod is a stainless steel needle, the fixed pipe part is a glass fiber reinforced plastic pipe, and the sheathed flame-retardant down conductor part is a 50mm 2 Flame retardant insulated multi-strand copper, and laid through 3mm thick PVC pipe (such as Figure 3 As shown in the figure, the insulation breakdown and discharge problems caused by lightning current discharge can be reduced. Insulated lightning rods can be installed on the poles of high-pillar signal machines, on structures along the line, or independently to reduce the damage caused by direct lightning strikes to trackside signal equipment. The grounding point of the flame-retardant down conductor with sheath of the insulated lightning rod can be more than 15m away from the grounding point of the signal equipment. Figure 1 , which can reduce the ground rebound caused by lightning current entering the ground.

[0058] 35mm is used in the station 2 Multi-strand copper wires are used as through-ground wires to connect the signal building ground network, equipment grounding decentralized ground network, independent grounding bodies, etc. into one, providing stable and good grounding for signal equipment while achieving equipotential between different signal equipment, such as Figure 1 shown.

[0059] The rail differential mode overvoltage suppression measure is to take each track section as the minimum protection unit, and set up rail transient potential difference suppression devices at multiple points in the section (such as Figure 4 As shown in the figure, it can reduce the transient potential difference between the two rails, so that it can form an equipotential area for the rails. It also serves as the first-level differential mode protection device for the track circuit trackside equipment, and uses the equivalent inductance of the soft magnetic body under the impact state and the lightning protection equipment SPD1 in the box to form a multi-level protection to reduce the lightning current that invades the track circuit trackside equipment. The number of transient potential difference suppression devices between rails is configured according to the grounding resistance of the rail to the ground and the unbalanced ground resistance between the rails. The number of configurations should be increased in sections with larger grounding resistance of the rails and larger difference in ground resistance between the rails. At least 3 devices are configured in each section, and the distance from the insulating node to the track circuit equipment connection line should be no less than 5m, leaving enough distance to cooperate with the surge protector in the track box.

[0060] By setting up a shunt device, the lightning current passing through the circuit breaker is reduced, thereby reducing the number of abnormal tripping of the circuit breaker. The shunt device is normally in a high-impedance state (i.e., an open circuit state), which does not affect the normal operation of the equipment and the power frequency tripping characteristics of the circuit breaker. When the lightning current I1 invades, the shunt device changes from a high-impedance state to a low-impedance path (i.e., a low-impedance state), shunting most of the lightning current I3 and allowing a small part of the lightning current I2 to pass through the circuit breaker. The circuit breaker can withstand the impact of the lightning current I2, reducing the probability of abnormal tripping of the circuit breaker due to lightning strikes, such as Figure 5 shown.

[0061] Taking the SA-B-1A type circuit breaker, which is commonly used in trackside equipment on site, as an example, the 1A hydraulic circuit breaker was subjected to a lightning impulse withstand test in the laboratory and the test results were recorded. The impulse test found that the lightning withstand capability of the 1A hydraulic circuit breaker was relatively weak. After applying an impulse with a waveform of 8 / 20us and a current amplitude of 2.16kA (applied voltage amplitude of 1.8kV), the circuit breaker tripped.

[0062] Table 1 shows the test results of SA-B-1A circuit breaker

[0063]

[0064] according to Figure 5 After connecting the shunt device at both ends of the circuit breaker, the impact test was carried out in the laboratory, and the lightning resistance of the same circuit breaker was greatly improved. After the circuit breaker passed the impact with a waveform of 8 / 20us and an amplitude of about 23kA (applied voltage of 20kV), the circuit breaker was still in the normal closing state, which greatly improved the lightning resistance of the circuit breaker.

[0065] Table 2 shows the test results of SA-B-1A circuit breaker with shunt device

[0066]

[0067] Equipment to suppress lightning current intrusion along the line includes soft magnetic wires and surge protectors, such as Figure 1 As shown. After the soft magnetic material is installed through the conductor, it does not affect the normal operation of the equipment. When a lightning current passes through the line, the equivalent inductance of the soft magnetic material changes the parameters of the line under the impact state, which plays a role in suppressing the intrusion of lightning current along the line. The surge protector uses the nonlinear characteristics of its own voltage response. Under normal circumstances, it is in a high-resistance state. When the lightning current passes through, it is in a low-resistance state, discharging the lightning current to the ground or other circuits, and also achieving the effect of transient equipotential, reducing the damage to the equipment caused by the intrusion of lightning current along the line. Differential mode, common mode or full-mode surge protectors can be set on site according to the type of cable.

[0068] The shielding measures are mainly to reduce the overvoltage coupled by lightning current on the equipment through capacitance, resistance and inductance. Through shielding and grounding measures, the lightning current coupled on the cable and equipment is discharged to the ground to reduce the probability of lightning damage. The main measures of this solution include grounding the metal outer sheath and shielding layer of the cable; using shielded cables on the ladder line of the high-post signal machine, and grounding the metal outer sheath and shielding layer; using metal boxes or non-metal boxes to add shielding nets for equipment boxes. Shielding and grounding connections are as follows: Figure 2 shown.

[0069] Lightning information visualization is to install a lightning information recorder on the down conductor of the lightning rod, which can record the time, number, peak polarity and other information of lightning. It can be displayed locally or uploaded to the monitoring terminal by local display + 4G mobile network, so that users can query the lightning event information. Figure 2 shown.

[0070] In summary, in the system of the embodiment of the present invention, an insulated lightning rod is used to intercept lightning, reducing the problem of counter-strike caused by lightning current after lightning connection. The through ground wire in the station is used to provide a grounding reference for the trackside equipment and achieve equipotential between different equipment. The shunt device is used to reduce the problem of lightning impulse tripping of the circuit breaker. A transient potential difference suppression device between rails is set to reduce the potential difference between the two rails and reduce the harm to the equipment caused by the differential mode overvoltage transferred by the rails. Soft magnets and surge protectors are used to suppress the harm of intrusive lightning currents along the line. Shielded grounding measures are used to reduce the harm caused by lightning electromagnetic pulses through spatial coupling and conduction along the line. A lightning information recorder is used to record information such as the time, number, peak polarity, etc. of lightning occurrence, providing data support for operation and maintenance and fault investigation.

[0071] The present invention analyzes the damage modes and invasion paths of lightning to trackside equipment of non-electrified lines, and proposes systematic measures to solve the problem of lightning damage. The lightning protection system for trackside signal equipment constructed by technical means such as lightning connection, current diversion, setting equipotential zones, through grounding and surge suppression meets the installation requirements of railway trackside equipment and has strong engineering feasibility.

Any changes or substitutions that can be easily thought of by any technician familiar with the technical field within the technical scope disclosed in the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
