Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of electric power operation and maintenance, and in particular to a circuit breaker opening and closing circuit monitoring system and method. Background Art

[0002] Circuit breakers are essential protection and control devices in power systems, ensuring safe and stable operation and protecting equipment and personnel. The circuit breaker's opening and closing circuit, responsible for controlling the circuit breaker's closing and opening operations, is a crucial component of the power system. By monitoring the circuit breaker's opening and closing status, the breaker's opening and closing status can be monitored in real time, ensuring proper operation when needed. In the event of a malfunction or failure, a timely warning can be issued to mitigate potential safety hazards and prevent accidents from escalating.

[0003] Currently, existing methods for monitoring the opening and closing circuits of circuit breakers primarily utilize a series connection of normally closed contacts between a trip position relay and a closed position relay. However, this method can only monitor the integrity of the opening circuit in the closed state and the closing circuit when the circuit breaker is in the open state. It cannot monitor the integrity of the opening and closing circuits in other states, making it impossible to comprehensively monitor the integrity of the circuit breaker's opening and closing circuits in all states. This results in low monitoring accuracy for the circuit breaker's opening and closing circuits. Summary of the Invention

[0062] Exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Although exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure are shown in the accompanying drawings, it should be understood that the present disclosure can be implemented in various forms and should not be limited by the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided to enable a more thorough understanding of the present disclosure and to fully convey the scope of the present disclosure to those skilled in the art.

[0063] Aiming at the problem of low monitoring accuracy of the existing circuit breaker opening and closing circuit, the embodiment of the present invention provides a circuit breaker opening and closing circuit monitoring system, such as Figure 1 As shown, the system includes:

[0064] The circuit breaker auxiliary contact 100 and the circuit breaker opening and closing circuit monitor 200 include a switch input circuit 210, a first voltage monitoring circuit 220, a second voltage monitoring circuit 230, a central control module 240 and an alarm circuit 250.

[0065] Among them, the switch input circuit 210 is connected to the auxiliary contact 100 of the circuit breaker, and the auxiliary contact status is collected through the switch input circuit 210; the two input contacts of the first voltage monitoring circuit 220 are respectively connected to the two ends of the normally closed contact of the circuit breaker in the circuit breaker closing circuit, and the first voltage value at both ends of the normally closed contact of the circuit breaker is collected through the first voltage monitoring circuit 220; the two input contacts of the second voltage monitoring circuit 230 are respectively connected to the two ends of the normally open contact of the circuit breaker in the circuit breaker opening circuit, and the second voltage value at both ends of the normally open contact of the circuit breaker is collected through the second voltage monitoring circuit 230; The central control module 240 obtains a preset voltage threshold and the auxiliary contact state. When the circuit breaker is determined to be in a closed state based on the auxiliary contact state and the first voltage value is less than the preset voltage threshold, the alarm circuit 250 outputs a closing circuit alarm signal in the closed state. When the circuit breaker is determined to be in an open state based on the auxiliary contact state and the second voltage value is less than the preset voltage threshold, the alarm circuit 250 outputs an opening circuit alarm signal in the open state. The alarm circuit 250 outputs an alarm signal under the control of the central control module 230.

[0066] The circuit breaker opening and closing circuit is the circuit that controls the opening and closing of the circuit breaker, and includes two circuits: the closing circuit and the opening circuit. Figure 2 As shown, the existing opening and closing circuit is connected in parallel at both ends of the closing circuit and the opening circuit, and is connected to a ±220V power supply. The closing circuit includes a manual control switch of a circuit breaker connected in series, a normally closed contact of the circuit breaker, and a closing coil; the opening circuit includes a manual control switch of a circuit breaker connected in series, a normally open contact of the circuit breaker, and an opening coil.

[0067] In the embodiment of the present invention, in order to monitor whether the circuit of the circuit breaker opening and closing circuit is intact, the first voltage monitoring circuit 220 of the circuit breaker opening and closing circuit monitor 200 is connected to both ends of the normally closed contacts of the circuit breaker in the closing circuit to collect the first voltage value at both ends of the normally closed contacts of the circuit breaker in the closing circuit. The second voltage monitoring circuit 230 is connected to both ends of the normally open contacts of the circuit breaker in the opening circuit to collect the second voltage value at both ends of the normally open contacts of the circuit breaker in the opening circuit. Figure 3Taking the closing circuit connection diagram of the circuit breaker opening and closing circuit monitor as an example, the two input contacts of the first voltage monitoring circuit of the circuit breaker opening and closing circuit monitor are respectively connected to the A and B contacts of the normally closed contacts of the circuit breaker in the closing circuit. When the circuit breaker is in the closed state, the normally closed contact of the circuit breaker in the closing circuit is disconnected. At this time, if the circuit is intact, there is a voltage difference of 220V between points A and B, that is, the first voltage value is 220V. If the voltage difference between points A and B disappears, that is, the first voltage value is less than the preset voltage threshold, it can be determined that the closing circuit is interrupted. Among them, the preset voltage threshold can be a voltage value of 0 or close to 0, which can be customized according to actual needs. For the same reason, if Figure 4 The schematic diagram of the connection of the opening circuit of the circuit breaker opening and closing circuit monitor shown is shown. In the opening circuit, when the circuit breaker is in the open state, the normally open contact of the circuit breaker in the opening circuit is disconnected. At this time, if the circuit is intact, there is a voltage difference of 220V between points C and D, that is, the second voltage value is 220V. If the voltage difference between points C and D disappears, that is, the second voltage value is less than the preset voltage threshold, it can be determined that the opening circuit is interrupted. The above-mentioned comparison result based on the preset voltage threshold and the first voltage value or the second voltage value, and the judgment process of the circuit breaker opening and closing state are executed by the central control module 240, and when it is determined that the circuit is interrupted, an alarm signal is output through the alarm circuit. The alarm signal can be notified to the on-site operation and maintenance personnel in one or more ways of sound, light, and electricity, and the embodiment of the present invention does not make specific limitations.

[0068] The opening and closing status of the circuit breaker is collected through the switch input circuit 210 of the circuit breaker opening and closing circuit monitor 200. Figure 3 Taking the closing circuit connection diagram shown in the figure as an example, the switching input circuit is connected to the auxiliary contacts of the circuit breaker to collect the connection status (auxiliary contact status) of the circuit breaker auxiliary contacts. Since the auxiliary contact status switches synchronously with the opening and closing status of the circuit breaker, the current opening and closing status of the circuit breaker can be determined based on the auxiliary contact status.

[0069] It should be noted that both the first and second voltage monitoring circuits include high-impedance resistor divider circuits. Specifically, the internal resistance of the resistor divider circuits is greater than 20MΩ. Due to the high impedance of the first and second voltage monitoring circuits, when connected in parallel with the normally open or normally closed contacts of the circuit breaker, they do not divert current from the opening or closing circuits, thereby affecting the normal operation of the circuits. In other words, the operation of the opening and closing circuits is not affected during the voltage acquisition process.

[0070] In one embodiment of the present invention, for further explanation and limitation, when the circuit breaker opening and closing circuit is connected to the circuit breaker mechanism anti-trip circuit, the system includes a voltage dividing resistor.

[0071] Among them, through the voltage dividing resistor, before the first voltage monitoring circuit collects the first voltage value, the normally closed contacts of the circuit breaker and the normally closed contacts of the anti-trip relay connected in series in the circuit breaker closing circuit are replaced, so that the voltage dividing of the opening position relay and the anti-trip relay are adjusted to be less than their respective starting voltages, and the first voltage monitoring circuit can be turned on.

[0072] When the circuit breaker to be monitored is equipped with an internal mechanism anti-tripping mechanism, that is, when the circuit breaker opening and closing circuit is connected to the circuit breaker mechanism anti-tripping circuit, the circuit breaker closing circuit is added with circuit breaker contacts, anti-tripping relays, and anti-tripping relay normally open (normally closed) contacts. This adds a series connection of newly added circuit breaker normally closed contacts and anti-tripping relay normally closed contacts to the circuit breaker closing circuit to prevent the opening position relay and the anti-tripping relay from starting each other. Figure 5 As shown in the figure, the closing circuit has been added with an anti-trip relay, a normally closed contact of the anti-trip relay, and a normally open contact of the anti-trip relay. A new breakpoint, the normally closed contact of the circuit breaker, has also been added. When the circuit breaker is closed, the normally closed contact of the new circuit breaker is open. At this point, the circuit is non-conductive, and the voltage between points A and B is zero, which does not meet the connection requirements of the circuit breaker opening and closing circuit monitor.

[0073] In the embodiment of the present invention, the normally closed contacts of the newly added circuit breaker and the normally closed contacts of the anti-trip relay connected in series in the closing circuit are replaced with voltage-dividing resistors. Figure 6 As shown. Among them, the voltage-dividing resistor is a high-impedance voltage-dividing resistor of more than kilo-ohm level. By replacing the series circuit of the newly added normally closed contact of the circuit breaker and the normally closed contact of the anti-tripping relay with a voltage-dividing resistor, the voltage across the opening position relay and the anti-tripping relay is reduced in a voltage-dividing manner, so that the voltage across the opening position relay and the anti-tripping relay is less than their corresponding starting voltage, and at the same time, the conduction state of the closing circuit is ensured. Through the above-mentioned transformation, the closing circuit meets the anti-tripping requirements while meeting the access conditions of the circuit breaker closing circuit monitor. Therefore, when the circuit breaker closing circuit is connected to the anti-tripping circuit of the circuit breaker mechanism, the anti-tripping mechanism is guaranteed and the normal monitoring of the opening and closing circuit by the circuit breaker opening and closing circuit monitor is realized.

[0074] In one embodiment of the present invention, for further explanation and limitation, the switch input circuit includes a first switch input circuit and a second switch input circuit.

[0075] Among them, the state of the normally closed auxiliary contact of the circuit breaker is collected through the first switch input circuit; the state of the normally closed auxiliary contact of the circuit breaker is collected through the second switch input circuit; through the central control module, when the state of the normally closed auxiliary contact of the circuit breaker is disconnected, the circuit breaker is determined to be in the closed state; when the state of the normally open auxiliary contact of the circuit breaker is disconnected, the circuit breaker is determined to be in the open state.

[0076] In an embodiment of the present invention, the circuit breaker opening and closing circuit monitor provides two first switching input circuits and a second switching input circuit, which can respectively form a circuit combination with the first voltage monitoring circuit and the second voltage monitoring circuit to monitor the opening circuit or the closing circuit separately. That is, the first switching input circuit collects the state of the circuit breaker's normally closed auxiliary contact, and the first voltage monitoring circuit collects the voltage across the normally closed contact of the circuit breaker in the closing circuit. When the state of the circuit breaker's normally closed auxiliary contact is disconnected and the first voltage value is less than the preset voltage threshold, it indicates that the voltage difference across the normally closed contact of the circuit breaker in the closing circuit is reduced in the closed state, and it can be determined that the closing circuit is abnormal in the closed state. Similarly, the second switching input circuit collects the state of the circuit breaker's normally open auxiliary contact, and the second voltage monitoring circuit collects the voltage across the normally open contact of the circuit breaker in the opening circuit. When the state of the circuit breaker's normally open auxiliary contact is disconnected and the second voltage value is less than the preset voltage threshold, it can be determined that the opening circuit is abnormal in the opening state. By configuring two switching input circuits to respectively collect the status of the normally open auxiliary contacts and the normally closed auxiliary contacts of the circuit breaker, the opening and closing status of the circuit breaker can be judged more accurately, and independent monitoring of the closing circuit and the opening circuit can be achieved, thereby improving the flexibility of monitoring.

[0077] In one embodiment of the present invention, for further explanation and limitation, the system further includes a control loop disconnection circuit, and the alarm circuit includes a first alarm circuit and a second alarm circuit.

[0078] Among them, a closing circuit alarm signal is output through the first alarm circuit, and an opening circuit alarm signal is output through the second alarm circuit. Through the central control module, when the normally closed auxiliary contact state of the circuit breaker is closed, the output of the first alarm circuit is suppressed to output the closing circuit alarm signal in the opening state through the control circuit disconnection circuit; when the normally open auxiliary contact state of the circuit breaker is closed, the output of the second alarm circuit is suppressed to output the opening circuit alarm signal in the closing state through the control circuit disconnection circuit. The control circuit disconnection circuit includes a normally closed contact of a closing position relay and a normally closed contact of an opening position relay connected in series. When the normally closed contact of the closing position relay and the normally closed contact of the opening position relay are both closed, the control circuit disconnection circuit outputs an opening circuit alarm signal in the closing state or a closing circuit alarm signal in the opening state according to the opening and closing states of the circuit breaker, that is, the closing circuit alarm signal is output when the circuit breaker is in the opening state, and the opening circuit alarm signal is output when the circuit breaker is in the closing state.

[0079] In an embodiment of the present invention, the output contacts of the first alarm circuit and the second alarm circuit are connected to the output end of the control circuit disconnection circuit to output an alarm signal in parallel with the control circuit disconnection circuit. Specifically, when the circuit breaker is in the closed state, the first alarm circuit outputs an abnormality in the closing circuit, and the control circuit disconnection circuit outputs an abnormality in the opening circuit; when the circuit breaker is in the open state, the control circuit disconnection circuit outputs an abnormality in the closing circuit, and the second alarm circuit outputs an abnormality in the opening circuit. It should be noted that when the circuit breaker is in the open state (the normally closed auxiliary contact of the circuit breaker is closed), the normally closed contact of the closing circuit is closed, which is equivalent to a circuit disconnection condition. To prevent false alarms in this state, the output of the first alarm circuit is suppressed when the normally closed auxiliary contact of the circuit breaker is closed, and the monitoring result of the closing circuit is determined based on the output of the control circuit disconnection circuit. When the circuit breaker is closed (the normally open auxiliary contact is closed), the normally open contact of the opening circuit is closed, equivalent to a circuit disconnection.
