Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of advanced measurement and sensing technology of high current, and specifically relates to a dynamic stability enhancement structure for a high current transformer based on induced electrodynamics and its assembly method. Background Technology
[0002] High-current transformers are key equipment for high-current measurement in power systems, and dynamic stability current is one of the core technical indicators for measuring their performance limits. It characterizes the transformer's ability to withstand the enormous electrodynamic impact generated by a sudden short-circuit fault in the power grid without winding deformation, breakage, or insulation damage. With the development of ultra-high-voltage power grids and the continuous increase in system short-circuit capacity, the peak short-circuit current can reach hundreds of kiloamperes or more, which places extremely stringent requirements on the mechanical strength and stability of the transformer's primary winding. In type testing, the dynamic stability test is the ultimate assessment of the transformer's mechanical structure design, and traditional structures often pay a heavy price to pass this test.
[0003] Currently, all technical means to improve the dynamic stability of current transformers focus on passive mechanical reinforcement schemes, which mainly include:
[0004] 1) Significantly increase conductor cross-sectional area: The primary winding uses ultra-thick copper wire or multiple wires wound in parallel, thereby increasing the amount of material used to rigidly resist electrodynamic forces (which are proportional to the square of the current). This is the most direct but also the most expensive and inefficient method.
[0005] 2) Strengthen external mechanical restraint: Use high-strength non-magnetic binding tape or epoxy resin casting layer with significantly increased thickness to "lock" the primary winding in its original position.
[0006] 3) High-strength composite insulation material internal support: High-strength composite insulation material is used for internal support in the winding to balance the electrodynamic force on each layer of winding.
[0007] However, when these traditional methods are used with high-current transformers, their inherent drawbacks are further amplified:
[0008] 1) Significantly increased leakage inductance in the primary winding: Increasing the conductor cross-sectional area directly increases self-inductance; while adding internal supports and thickening the casting inevitably increases the distance between the primary and secondary windings, severely disrupting magnetic coupling and leading to a sharp increase in leakage inductance. High leakage inductance severely degrades the transient transmission characteristics of protective instrument transformers, causing current transmission delays and distortions, which may lead to maloperation or failure of protection devices. This is a fatal flaw during power grid faults.
[0009] 2) Size, cost, and temperature rise issues: To pass higher levels of dynamic stability testing, the amount of conductor and insulation material used increases exponentially, resulting in huge product sizes and high costs. Excessively thick conductors may also lead to increased eddy current losses and difficulties in heat dissipation.
[0010] Therefore, especially in the field of high-current transformers for power grid fault conditions and type testing, there is an urgent need for a new technical solution that can significantly improve the dynamic stability limit of the transformer without changing the original winding structure and coupling, in order to cope with the increasingly severe power grid operating environment. Summary of the Invention
[0011] The purpose of this invention is to propose a dynamic stability enhancement structure for a high-current transformer based on induced electrodynamics and its assembly method, which aims to significantly improve the dynamic stability performance of the high-current transformer in power grid short-circuit faults and type tests.

The outer fiber composite material, the conductive hoop, and the outer radial primary winding conductor layer of the conductive hoop are tightly fitted.
[0056] The adjacent conductor layers are separated by fiber composite materials, so they do not come into direct contact and have good electrical insulation properties. The withstand voltage rating of the overall primary winding is greater than 30kV.
[0057] 5. The primary winding conductor layer on the inner radial side of the conductive hoop is electrically connected to the primary winding conductor layer on the outer radial side of the conductive hoop (made by a discontinuous winding process).

[0060] In this embodiment, the thickness of the plate does not exceed 0.5 mm, and the starting and ending sections of the plate are transitioned using a wedge-shaped structure (see reference). Figure 5 To avoid uneven thickness, the thickness difference in the circumferential direction of the cylindrical shell structure formed by rolling the sheet is less than 0.1 mm.
[0061] In this embodiment, the lead wires of the primary winding conductor layer on the inner radial side of the conductive hoop and the lead wires of the primary winding conductor layer on the outer radial side of the conductive hoop are electrically connected by crimping or welding, and the tensile strength at the connection is not less than the strength of the base material.
[0062] In this embodiment, the dynamic stability enhancement structure of the high current transformer also includes an internal component winding skeleton of the transformer primary winding, which is composed of an inner upper flange, a winding sleeve, and an inner lower flange, and an external component winding skeleton of the transformer primary winding, which is composed of an outer upper flange and an outer lower flange.

[0071] Step S6: Based on the external component winding frame, wind the external component of the primary winding of the current transformer (12) according to the conventional process of the current transformer, and lead out the external component inlet (13) and external component outlet (14) through the flange through hole of the external component winding frame.
[0072] Step S7: Outside the primary winding, complete the crimping or welding of the internal component outgoing wire (6) and the external component incoming wire (13);
[0073] When the number of conductive hoops is greater than 1, based on the external components of the primary winding in step S6, repeat the assembly of the next set of inner fiber composite material, conductive hoops, outer fiber composite material, outer upper flange, and outer lower flange, as well as the winding of the next layer of external components and the lead-out of the incoming and outgoing lines of each layer of components; after completing all the assembly according to the number of conductive hoops, connect the components of each layer of the primary winding in series by crimping or welding through the lead-out incoming and outgoing lines.
[0074] The basic principle of the dynamic stability enhancement structure and method for high-current current transformers based on induced electrodynamics is as follows:
[0075] Reference Appendix Figure 1 , 3In cylindrical coordinates, when a short-circuit fault occurs in the power grid or a dynamic stability test is performed, a short-circuit current with extremely high amplitude and rate of change (maximum di / dt) flows through the primary winding. The drastically changing strong magnetic field generated by this current causes the transformer core to reach magnetic saturation and induces extremely strong eddy currents in the conductive ring. Assuming the direction of the magnetic field at the center of the primary winding is +z, the conductive ring will generate an induced electric field and induced current in the -θ direction due to the change in magnetic flux linked to it. The induced current will interact with the axial magnetic field in the -z direction at that location, generating an induced electromotive force in the -r direction. The magnitude of the electromotive force on the conductive ring is positively correlated with its volume, which is larger than the internal single-layer conductor. Therefore, the induced electromotive force of the conductive ring will be similar in magnitude but opposite in direction to the +r electromotive force on its internal conductor layer, thus strengthening the primary winding.

They are only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation.
