Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of instantaneous action characteristic detection of RCBOs, and particularly to a method for detecting the instantaneous action characteristics of RCBOs. Background Art

[0002] In the currently effective national standards, the detection of instantaneous tripping action is to ensure that in actual use of the product, in the case of overload for a certain period of time, the product can cut off the overloaded circuit within the expected time, so as to achieve the protection of the line, electrical appliances, and corresponding components of the switch and lamp. This function is completed by a thermal protection element - a bimetal inside the product. The thermal protection element (bimetal) is usually composed of two different metals (such as steel and copper or steel and aluminum), which have different expansion coefficients. During operation, the current flows through the circuit of the circuit breaker, and the generated heat causes the temperature of the bimetal to rise. Due to the different expansion rates of different metals, the bimetal will bend. When the current continuously exceeds the set overload value, the bending degree of the bimetal will gradually increase until the contact is disconnected, cutting off the current, thereby realizing overload protection. Therefore, the thermal protection element should have certain thermal expansion differences, good durability, sufficient accuracy and other characteristics to meet the requirements of different types, such as B-type action curves, C-type action curves, D-type action curves, K-type action curves; At the same time, in order to protect the safety of household electricity, the residual current operated circuit-breaker with overcurrent protection for household and similar uses also has a leakage protection function, which is realized by a leakage module. The leakage module (also called a leakage protector, leakage switch or leakage circuit breaker) is an electrical protection device, mainly used to detect the leakage phenomenon in the electrical circuit and quickly cut off the power supply when leakage occurs, thereby protecting personal safety and preventing electric shock accidents and electrical fires. The working principle of the leakage module mainly depends on the following aspects: (1) Leakage current detection: The leakage module detects the leakage current through a leakage current transformer (usually a zero-sequence current transformer or a differential transformer). When the current passes through the electrical circuit, normally, the current entering the circuit should be equal to the current returning. If a leakage phenomenon occurs in a certain part of the circuit (for example, the current leaks into the ground through the damaged insulation part), the current entering the circuit and the returning current will be unequal, generating a differential current. At this time, the leakage function acts, and the tripping mechanism of the product is actuated through a push rod to realize the protection function; (2) Protection mechanism: When the leakage module detects that the differential current exceeds the set threshold (such as 30 mA, 100 mA, etc.), it will trigger the tripping protection mechanism. The leakage module usually contains an electronic circuit (such as an electromagnet or an electronic switch). When the leakage current reaches the safety threshold, this circuit automatically cuts off the circuit and stops the power supply, thereby preventing further electrical safety hazards; Based on the existing detection conditions, for the verification of this function, the national standard does not give a clear wiring or detection circuit diagram, but only stipulates that the test circuit meets the test conditions. In the detection of the instantaneous tripping characteristics of residual current operated circuit breakers with overcurrent protection for household and similar use, where the operating function is related to the power supply voltage, when both products with two current loops and four current loops have overcurrent protection, during this detection, the thermal protection function and the leakage protection function may act alternately, which to a certain extent increases the probability of incorrect test results. To solve the above problems, a detection method for the instantaneous tripping characteristics of RCBO is proposed. Summary of the Invention

After the data is confirmed to meet or not meet the standard requirements, complete the test detection of the instantaneous tripping action characteristics of the first pole of the RCBO to be tested. During the entire detection process, the leakage operating handle of the RCBO to be tested does not operate and always remains in the closed state, and the test is successful; 8) Disconnect the wiring, replace the other products to be tested of the RCBO to be tested, and perform the detection operation according to the above steps; 9) Repeat the above steps 1-9 to detect the RCBOs to be tested in different current circuits; Furthermore, the power supply of the detection circuit in step 1 is a three-phase four-wire incoming line, where the three-phase lines are connected to the short-circuit switch, and there is an impedance for adjusting the rated short-circuit power on each phase line. The short-circuit switch is connected to the RCBO to be tested below. A voltage sensor is provided on the RCBO to be tested, and a current sensor and an adjustable impedance for adjusting below the rated short-circuit current are provided at the load end outlet of the RCBO to be tested. The N-phase line of the power supply passes through the N-phase incoming line end of the RCBO to be tested and the N-phase load end; Furthermore, the A-phase incoming line end of the RCBO to be tested in step 2 is connected to the A-phase line of the power supply, the A-phase load end of the RCBO to be tested is connected to the front end of the adjustable impedance for adjusting below the rated short-circuit current, the N-phase incoming line end of the RCBO to be tested is connected to the N-phase line of the power supply, and the N-phase load end of the RCBO to be tested is connected to the rear end of the adjustable impedance for adjusting below the rated short-circuit current; Furthermore, in step 8, the maximum number of samples to be detected is three, and the minimum number is one.

[0004] Advantages of the present invention: The present invention fundamentally re-integrates and applies the detection method, the working principle of the product, and the detection circuit. That is, it utilizes the requirements of the detection conditions for the test circuit, and also takes into account the superposition phenomenon of the action times between the thermal protection characteristic and the leakage protection characteristic of the product itself within a certain time range, which may affect the accuracy of the final detection result.

[0010] Example 2 For the purpose of this detection test, the main idea is to detect the instantaneous tripping characteristics of an RCBO whose operating function is related to the supply voltage. Due to the operating characteristics of the thermal protection element (bimetal strip) in the product, the overload current existing in the detection circuit is cut off to simulate the possible overload phenomenon in actual use. During the detection process, since it is required to detect each protection pole of the RCBO separately under any voltage and at the rated voltage U0 (phase-neutral line) with a power factor of 0.95 - 1 to obtain a more accurate operating time; 1.

Connect the RCBO to be tested to the position D of the detection circuit. Connect the N - phase incoming line terminal of the RCBO to be tested to the power incoming line terminal of the detection circuit, and connect the N - phase load terminal of the RCBO to be tested to the front end of the adjustable impedance used to adjust the current below the rated short - circuit current in the detection circuit; then connect the N - pole incoming line terminal of the detection circuit to the A - phase incoming line terminal of the RCBO to be tested, and then connect the rear end of the adjustable impedance used to adjust the current below the rated short - circuit current in the detection circuit to the A - phase load terminal of the RCBO to be tested.
