Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of vacuum heat conduction potting of current transformers, and particularly relates to a vacuum heat conduction potting structure of a current transformer and a manufacturing process thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] As a key metering and protection device in a power system, a current transformer essentially belongs to a special transformer. It converts a large current in a high-voltage line into a small current in a low-voltage line according to the principle of electromagnetic induction, and provides a standard signal for power metering instruments, relay protection devices, etc.
[0003] However, the existing current transformer has the following problems during potting. First, the potting glue flows unevenly in the shell during conventional potting, and air bubbles are easily retained at the gap between the winding coil, the joint between the magnetic core and the skeleton, and other parts. These air bubbles will cause the internal insulation performance of the current transformer to continuously decrease, and there is a limitation. Second, the existing potting material is mostly ordinary epoxy resin, which has a generally low thermal conductivity coefficient and cannot effectively conduct heat out, resulting in a continuous increase in internal temperature and a shortened service life of the device. Finally, the thermal expansion coefficients of the existing potting glue and the metal pins, magnetic cores, and other components inside the current transformer are quite different. During temperature cycling caused by load fluctuation of the power system, the shrinkage and expansion of different materials are different, and internal stress is continuously generated inside the potting glue and at the joint between the potting glue and the components. The potting glue is prone to cracking under the long-term effect, and loses the sealing and protection effect on the internal core components, which has a limitation.
[0004] The reason for this problem is that the potting glue in the conventional potting process is mostly injected from a single direction, which cannot uniformly fill the complex gap inside the shell, resulting in difficulty in exhausting gas and forming air bubbles. Second, the existing potting material only focuses on insulation performance and does not optimize the filler ratio for heat conduction requirements. Finally, the potting process lacks targeted vacuum assistance and stress relief design. Conventional atmospheric potting cannot completely exhaust the internal gas, and a special buffer structure is not provided to absorb the internal stress generated by temperature cycling, which ultimately leads to frequent problems of air bubble retention, insufficient heat conduction, and cracking, and has a limitation.

Preliminary mixing: Place the epoxy resin matrix and thermally conductive filler in a high-speed disperser and stir at 1500-2000 rpm for 30-40 minutes at 60-70℃ to ensure thorough mixing. S13. Add toughening agent: Add toughening agent to the mixture obtained in step S12, reduce the speed to 500-800 rpm, and stir for 15-20 minutes to ensure the filler is dispersed. S14. Adding curing agent: Put the mixture obtained in step S13 into a vacuum defoamer, then add the curing agent, and stir at 300-500 rpm at room temperature for 10-15 minutes. Output the colloid while ensuring no bubbles are present. S15. Thixotropic testing: Sampling tests are conducted using a rotational viscometer to ensure that the static viscosity of the colloid is ≥5000 cP and the stirring viscosity is ≤1000 cP. Modified epoxy resin composite materials that meet the requirements are then filled into sealed containers for later use.
9. The manufacturing process of a vacuum thermally conductive potting structure for a current transformer according to claim 7, characterized in that, The vacuum filling process in step S3 includes the following steps: S31. During the preheating stage, place the shell into the heating box and preheat it to 60-80°C. Heat the potting compound to 50-60°C to reduce the viscosity of the compound to below 1000 cP and improve its fluidity. S32. Vacuum degassing: Place the preheated shell into the vacuum chamber, evacuate to ≤100Pa, and maintain for 15-20 minutes to completely remove the air and moisture from the gap between the winding (3) and the magnetic core (4). S33, Pressure injection: In a vacuum environment, potting compound is injected from the bottom of the housing using a precision metering pump. The injection pressure is 0.1-0.3MPa, and the rising speed of the compound is 5-10mm / min. Ensure that air is discharged from the top exhaust component (62). S34. Step curing: Using a programmed temperature rise curve, the colloid is initially cured at 60℃ for 2 hours, then cured at 100℃ for 4 hours, and finally solidified at 125℃ for 2 hours.
