Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of combined current transformer accuracy testing technology, specifically to a verification device for testing the accuracy of combined current transformers. Background Technology
[0002] A combined instrument transformer is a key integrated high-voltage power measurement device that highly integrates the functions of traditional independent current and voltage transformers within a single insulating structure. Its core function is to synchronously and accurately perform two critical tasks: current measurement and voltage measurement. Combined instrument transformers are primarily used in high-voltage and ultra-high-voltage environments, and are particularly suitable for space-constrained locations. They provide an indispensable and highly reliable source of current and voltage information for the safe monitoring, accurate metering, real-time protection, and automatic control of power systems, and are one of the core fundamental components for the efficient and safe operation of modern smart grids.
[0003] Combined current transformers require accuracy testing, which is often performed using a combined current transformer comprehensive tester. The current is boosted and applied to both the combined current transformer and the load. The load's output is connected to the test port of the combined current transformer comprehensive tester for testing. However, the booster inside the combined current transformer comprehensive tester generates significant heat during operation, typically requiring a fan for forced cooling. This is problematic because the sensors used for testing are highly sensitive, and the fan is exposed to external conditions, resulting in poor electromagnetic shielding of the combined current transformer comprehensive tester and significant errors in the test results. Therefore, we propose a calibration device for the accuracy testing of combined current transformers. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to overcome the existing defects and provide a calibration device for testing the accuracy of combined current transformers. The device uses a fully enclosed heat dissipation method to dissipate heat from the core heat-generating components inside the test housing, which has a better electromagnetic shielding effect and is more accurate, thus effectively solving the problems in the background art.

[0013] Furthermore, it also includes a control switch assembly, which is fixedly connected to the front side of the housing. The input end of the control switch assembly is electrically connected to an external power source to control the electrical appliances inside the housing.
[0014] Furthermore, the heat dissipation mechanism also includes a water tank and a gear pump. The water tank and the gear pump are fixedly connected inside the housing.

The water outlet 3 at the lower end of the water tank is connected to the inlet of the gear pump. The outlet of the gear pump is connected to the water inlet 1 of the heat dissipation pipe. The input end of the gear pump is electrically connected to the output end of the control switch group to realize the circulation of coolant.
[0015] Furthermore, uniformly distributed semiconductor cooling chips are fixedly connected to the rear side of the heat exchange fins. The cooling ends of the semiconductor cooling chips are all in contact with the rear side of the heat exchange fins, and the input ends of the semiconductor cooling chips are all electrically connected to the output end of the control switch group to dissipate heat from the heat exchange fins.
[0016] Furthermore, the heat dissipation mechanism also includes heat dissipation fins and a fan. The heat dissipation fins are fixedly connected to the rear side of the housing, and the heat-generating end of the semiconductor refrigeration chip is attached to the front side of the heat dissipation fins. A fan is fixedly connected to the right side of the housing, and the input end of the fan is electrically connected to the output end of the control switch group to dissipate heat from the semiconductor refrigeration chip.
[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: This calibration device for testing the accuracy of combined instrument transformers has the following advantages:

Subsequently, the coolant is cooled by the external heat exchange fins, keeping the test housing in a closed state and ensuring that the test housing has a better electromagnetic shielding effect, thereby improving the accuracy of the test.

The output terminal of the three-phase standard power supply is connected to the input terminal of the microcontroller 4. The input terminal of the current booster is connected to the output terminal of the microcontroller 4 through the current boosting control output port of the test housing 1. The current enters the booster 10 through the microcontroller 4. The boosted current enters the current booster for current boosting.

[0037] During testing, the booster 10 generates a large amount of heat. The booster 10 exchanges heat with the heat-conducting plate 2. The heat-conducting plate 2 is made of aluminum alloy 6061, which takes into account heat dissipation, lightweight and magnetic field compatibility. The electrical appliances inside the housing 61 are turned on by the control switch group 7 to start the heat dissipation function.

The number of fins of heat conduction plate 2 in the figure is only for illustration and the actual number of fins of heat conduction plate 2 in actual use shall prevail.
[0041] The coolant carrying heat is transported to the heat exchange pipe 63. The cooling end of the semiconductor refrigeration chip 14 cools the heat exchange fins 62, thereby cooling the coolant inside the heat exchange pipe 63.
