[0003] In the process of the three-dimensional layout design of the existing RMU, it is necessary to determine the positions of each compact structure. In order to meet the heat dissipation requirements of compact structures such as circuit breakers, after the three-dimensional layout design is completed, it is necessary to conduct a heat dissipation performance test on the circuit breaker to test whether the RMU meets the heat dissipation requirements of the circuit breaker, so as to cope with subsequent position adjustments of the internal components of the RMU.

Copper busbars have high conductivity (58 MS / m) and are suitable for high-current and high-reliability scenarios; aluminum busbars have low cost and light weight and are mostly used in cost-sensitive projects. For example, for a 630A current, a 60×6mm² copper bar (rated current of about 700A) can be selected, and for 1250A, a 100×10mm² copper bar (rated current of about 1300A) is required. At the same time, the temperature rise is calculated through the formula to ensure that the temperature rise during operation ≤ 65K; Circuit Breaker Chamber: Compare vacuum circuit breakers with the characteristics of circuit breakers. The arc extinguishing medium of vacuum circuit breakers is vacuum ( ), suitable for voltage levels of 10~35kV, breaking current of 25~50kA, mechanical life ≥ 10000 times, and no greenhouse gas emissions; The circuit breaker uses gas (0.3~0.5MPa) for arc extinguishing, with a wider applicable voltage range (10~220kV) and a breaking current of 40~63kA, but it is a strong greenhouse gas (GWP = 23900); in terms of the operating mechanism, the spring operating mechanism is suitable for frequent operations, and the opening and closing time ≤ 50ms; the permanent magnet operating mechanism has a simple structure and high reliability; Cable Chamber: According to the cable specifications (such as YJV22~8.7 / 15kV~3×300), reserve enough space for the bending radius, generally not less than 20 times the outer diameter of the cable.

Sealing rubber rings are provided at the cable inlet and outlet for dust and water protection. Modeling, simulation and optimization: A three-dimensional model of the ring main unit is constructed, and multi-dimensional simulation analyses such as electrical, thermal field, and mechanical strength are carried out, and the layout design is optimized according to the results. Specifically, it includes: Parametric modeling is carried out using Solid Works, and the dimensions are associated through equations (such as the height of the busbar compartment = the height of the breaker + 150 mm) for convenient modification; the non-critical components are shelled to reduce the model weight and improve the simulation efficiency. A model is established in Ansys Maxwell, the properties such as the electrical conductivity of the material are set, the rated voltage boundary condition is applied, the electric field distribution is solved, and the insulation structure is optimized (such as adding a shielding cover) to ensure that the electric field strength ≤ 20 kV / cm. The environment and heat dissipation parameters are set in Fluent to simulate the temperature distribution under the rated load; for example, for a certain 1250 A ring main unit, the simulation shows that the busbar connection is overheated, which is solved by adding heat sinks and optimizing ventilation. With the help of Ansys Mechanical, the transportation vibration (10~150 Hz, 1 g acceleration) condition is simulated to ensure that the stress of the cabinet body is less than the yield strength of the material and the safety factor ≥ 2.5.
