Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of transformers, and particularly relates to an autotransformer that uses a low-current on-load tap-changer to achieve multi-stage voltage regulation for large current. Background Art
[0002] At present, with the gradual expansion of overseas transformer business, especially in the Americas where the problem of aging power grids is becoming increasingly serious, the stability of power supply has been severely threatened. The demand for transformers has increased significantly, and the market scale has expanded rapidly. In response to the demand characteristics of overseas power transformer products, large-capacity autotransformers are widely used; in addition, due to the diversity of power grid construction, the types of autotransformers are diverse, and most are no-load tap-changing on the primary side and on-load tap-changing on the secondary side. Moreover, the basic voltage level of on-load tap-changing on the secondary side is low, and the number of tap-changing levels is large. In this case, for large-capacity autotransformers, the on-load switches designed conventionally need to select single-phase switches with large current, and each phase needs to be equipped with an on-load switch, resulting in difficulties in selecting on-load switches for autotransformers. At the same time, it also makes the overall structure layout of autotransformers complex, and the product design and manufacturing costs are relatively high, affecting market competitiveness.
[0003] In response to the product characteristics of large-capacity autotransformers in this region, it is necessary to improve the excitation voltage regulation structure of the voltage regulation transformer body, and use a low-current three-phase on-load switch to achieve the function of multi-stage voltage regulation for large current, so as to effectively solve the problems of selecting on-load switches with large current and the layout of space structure, and make the overall structure of the autotransformer more compact. Summary of the Invention
[0004] In order to solve the above technical problems, the invention proposes a structural scheme of an autotransformer that uses a low-current on-load switch to achieve multi-stage voltage regulation for large current. The technical scheme adopted by the invention is as follows: A multi-stage voltage regulation autotransformer includes a main transformer body and a regulating transformer body with a three-winding arrangement structure. The three-winding arrangement structure of the main transformer body includes a main transformer core, a main transformer low-voltage winding, a main transformer medium-voltage winding, a main transformer regulating winding, and a main transformer high-voltage winding arranged in sequence from inside to outside. The three-winding arrangement structure of the regulating transformer body includes a regulating transformer core, a regulating transformer exciting winding, and a regulating transformer regulating winding arranged in sequence from inside to outside. The main transformer regulating winding is connected to the regulating transformer exciting winding, and the main transformer medium-voltage winding is connected to the tails of the main transformer high-voltage winding and the regulating transformer regulating winding to form the winding connection structure of the autotransformer. The current on the voltage regulation side is reduced through the voltage regulation lead connection structure between the main transformer body and the regulating transformer body. Finally, an autotransformer that uses a low-current on-load tap-changer to achieve multi-stage voltage regulation for large current is obtained. The on-load tap-changer is electrically connected to the main transformer regulating winding.
[0005] Preferably, the tails of the three phases of the main transformer medium-voltage winding are electrically connected and externally connected to the neutral point bushing, and the regulating transformer regulating winding is externally connected to the medium-voltage bushing.
[0006] Preferably, the regulating excitation winding is electrically connected to the main transformer voltage regulating winding.
[0007] Preferably, the high-voltage bushing, medium-voltage bushing, neutral-point bushing and low-voltage bushing are fixedly installed on the tank cover.
[0008] In the present invention, the main transformer is short for the main transformer, and the regulating transformer is short for the voltage regulating transformer.
[0009] Advantages of the present invention: The present invention innovatively improves the on-load voltage regulating structure of a large-capacity autotransformer, sets a separate regulating excitation winding, reduces the current of the voltage regulating winding, and can realize the large-current multi-stage voltage regulating function by using a low-current three-phase on-load voltage regulating switch. This structure solves the problem of selecting the on-load voltage regulating switch for large current, reduces the number of on-load voltage regulating switches, saves the space layout, makes the overall structure of the autotransformer more compact, and at the same time reduces the model specifications of the on-load voltage regulating switch, reduces the product cost, and has a wide application prospect for products exported overseas, especially to the Americas.

[0011] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of the embodiments.
[0012] Such as Figures 1-3As shown in the figure, an autotransformer with multi-stage voltage regulation includes a main transformer body 16, a regulating transformer body 17, a medium-voltage bushing 1, a low-voltage bushing 2, a high-voltage bushing 3, a neutral-point bushing 4, an on-load tap-changer 6, a tap-changing lead connection structure, a tank structure, external components and an overall assembly structure. The tank structure includes a tank shell 15 and a tank cover 5.
[0013] 1) The main transformer body 16 is arranged in the tank shell 15. The parameter specifications of the main transformer core 14 are set according to the parameters of the autotransformer, and the winding structure and arrangement mode of the main transformer body 16 are set. The main transformer body 16 of the present invention adopts a common three-winding product structure. In each winding, a main transformer high-voltage winding 10, a main transformer medium-voltage winding 12, a main transformer low-voltage winding 13 and a main transformer regulating winding 11 are arranged. The three-winding arrangement structure of the main transformer body 16 adopts an arrangement structure in which the main transformer core 14, the main transformer low-voltage winding 13, the main transformer medium-voltage winding 12, the main transformer regulating winding 11 and the main transformer high-voltage winding 10 are arranged in sequence from the inside to the outside.
[0014] 2) A regulating transformer body 17 is additionally arranged in the tank shell 15. The regulating transformer body 17 adopts a common three-winding arrangement structure. In each winding, a regulating transformer regulating winding 7, a regulating transformer core 9 and a regulating transformer exciting winding 8 are arranged. An arrangement structure in which the regulating transformer core 9, the regulating transformer exciting winding 8 and the regulating transformer regulating winding 7 are arranged in sequence from the inside to the outside is adopted.
[0015] 3) The tap-changing lead connection structure between the main transformer body 16 and the regulating transformer body 17 is as follows: the main transformer regulating winding 11 of the main transformer body 16 is connected to the regulating transformer exciting winding 8 of the regulating transformer body 17, and the main transformer medium-voltage winding 12 of the main transformer body 16 is connected to the tail of the main transformer high-voltage winding 10 and the tail of the regulating transformer regulating winding 7 of the regulating transformer body 17 to form an autotransformer winding connection structure. The tails of the three phases of the main transformer medium-voltage winding 12 of the main transformer body 16 are electrically connected in three phases and externally connected to the neutral-point bushing 4, and the regulating transformer regulating winding 7 of the regulating transformer body 17 is externally connected to the medium-voltage bushing 1.
[0016] 4) The main transformer voltage regulating winding 11 of the main transformer body 16 is arranged on the outer periphery of the main transformer core 14. On the premise of a certain turn potential, by changing the number of turns of the main transformer voltage regulating winding 11, the number of turns of the modulating exciting winding 8 of the modulating body 17 is synchronously adjusted, and then the turn potential of the modulating body 17 is determined. By adjusting the number of turns of the main transformer voltage regulating winding 11 of the main transformer body 16, the voltage and the number of turns of the modulating exciting winding 8 of the modulating body 17 are correspondingly adjusted. Since the modulating exciting winding 8 of the modulating body 17 and the modulating voltage regulating winding 7 are jointly arranged on the outer periphery of the modulating core 9, according to the electromagnetic induction principle, the number of turns of the modulating exciting winding 8 and the number of turns of the modulating voltage regulating winding 7 are determined, and the current flowing through the winding is in a proportional relationship with the number of turns. The modulating voltage regulating winding 7 is connected to the main transformer medium voltage winding 12, and the current flowing through it is the large current of the main transformer medium voltage winding 12; the modulating exciting winding 8 is connected to the main transformer voltage regulating winding 11 of the main transformer body 16, and the current flowing through it is the low current after the modulating exciting winding 8 of the modulating body 17 is excited. By changing the turn ratio of the modulating body 17, the current flowing through the on-load tap-changer 6 is reduced, and the on-load tap-changer 6 is selected by reducing the magnitude of the tap-changing current, realizing the function of voltage regulation using the low-current on-load tap-changer 6.
[0017] 5) After the main transformer body 16 is assembled, install the special positioning structure for the main transformer body 16, and fixedly install the main transformer body 16 and the oil tank shell 15 reliably; after the modulating body 17 is assembled, install the special positioning structure for the modulating body 17, and fixedly install the modulating body 17 and the oil tank shell 15 reliably.
[0018] 6) Install an on-load tap-changer support on the main transformer core clamp of the main transformer body 16, install the on-load tap-changer 6 on the on-load tap-changer support, and connect the on-load tap-changer 6 and the tap-changing shunt according to the lead connection structure scheme. The on-load tap-changer 6 is connected to the main transformer voltage regulating winding 11 of the main transformer body 16. Since the current of the main transformer voltage regulating winding 11 is reduced, a low-current on-load tap-changer 6 can be selected to realize the voltage regulation function, reducing the selection specification of the on-load tap-changer 6 and making the overall structure of the autotransformer compact.
[0019] 7) According to the connection structure scheme between the main transformer body 16 and the modulating body 17, connect the leads between the two bodies, and connect the outgoing leads of the high voltage, medium voltage, and low voltage sides, and connect them reliably to the corresponding bushings.
[0020] 8) Install and fix the high voltage bushing 3, medium voltage bushing 1, neutral point bushing 4, and low voltage bushing 2 on the oil tank cover 5, and seal the oil tank cover 5 and the oil tank shell 15 reliably.
[0021] 9) Install the external components of the autotransformer, and the overall assembly of the autotransformer is completed.
[0022] Figure 1 、 2Among them, the top of the on-load tap-changer 6 is located above the tank cover 5, and other positions of the on-load tap-changer 6 are located in the tank housing 15. The component externally connected to the top of the on-load tap-changer 6 is the switch operation drive shaft, which is connected to the switch mechanism box through the switch operation drive shaft, and the switch mechanism box is located outside the tank housing 15.
