Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the technical field of flow-sensitive harmonic elimination devices, and particularly relates to a primary neutral point access flow-sensitive harmonic elimination device. Background Technology

[0002] In power systems, semi-insulated electromagnetic voltage transformers (PTs) are key devices for voltage measurement and protection, and are widely used in medium and high voltage scenarios such as 6kV-35kV. However, during PT operation, resonant overvoltages can easily be caused by ferromagnetic saturation, leading to neutral point potential shift and abnormal current increase. This not only affects metering accuracy but may also damage the PT itself and associated power equipment, and in severe cases, even cause power outages, threatening the safe and stable operation of the system.

[0003] Existing current-sensitive harmonic suppression devices mostly employ a single sensing element or a simple series-parallel structure, which has significant limitations: some devices have a simple response mechanism, making it difficult to adapt to complex resonance scenarios with rapid current changes and slow current increases, resulting in insufficient harmonic suppression timeliness; some devices are adapted to fixed voltage levels, lacking targeted designs for different voltage level PTs, resulting in poor versatility; at the same time, the heat dissipation performance, insulation strength, and overvoltage withstand protection design of traditional devices are not perfect, and they are prone to insufficient stability under high voltage and high current conditions, failing to fully meet the power system's requirements for efficient and reliable use of harmonic suppression devices. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the aforementioned technical problems by providing a single-neutral-point-connected current-sensitive harmonic elimination device.

[0005] In view of this, the present invention provides a primary neutral point access current-sensitive harmonic elimination device, comprising a unit consisting of a PTC thermistor and a PPTC thermistor connected in series, and then connected in parallel with a thin film capacitor and a varistor. The unit is connected in series with N units to form a main circuit. The main circuit is connected to the primary neutral point of the PT via a wire and the end is grounded. The device also includes terminals, a base, a housing, a circuit board, and filler adhesive. The terminals are fixed to the primary neutral point of the PT by screws. The base is fixed to the grounding bar. The housing encloses the circuit board. The filler adhesive fills the inside of the housing. The circuit board integrates a PTC thermistor, a PPTC thermistor, a film capacitor, and a varistor.

[0006] Preferably, the PTC thermistor has a withstand voltage of VDC 800V-1000V, an R25℃ of 0.8-1.0KΩ, and a Curie temperature of 70-100℃.

[0007] Preferably, the PPTC thermistor has a withstand voltage of VDC 800V-1000V, an R value of 40-60Ω at 25℃, an operating current of 50-100mA, and an operating time of ≤1.5S.

[0008] Preferably, the film capacitor has a withstand voltage of VDC 1000V-2000V and a capacitance of 50-80nF.

[0009] Preferably, the filler is GN-7055 two-component addition-type liquid silicone rubber with a breakdown strength of 20kV / mm and a thermal conductivity of 5.0W / (mK).

[0010] Preferably, the base is made of aluminum alloy and is fixed to the grounding bar with bolts; the outer shell is made of epoxy resin with high thermal conductivity.

[0011] Preferably, the device is adapted to 6kV-20kV semi-insulated electromagnetic voltage transformers, in which case the clamping voltage of the varistor is Vac120V, and the number of units connected in series is N=25.

[0012] Preferably, the device is adapted to a 35kV semi-insulated electromagnetic voltage transformer, in which case the clamping voltage of the varistor is Vac125V, and the number of units connected in series is N=40.

[0013] Preferably, when the PT experiences a ferromagnetic saturation resonance overvoltage, the PTC thermistor and the PPTC thermistor work together to achieve a two-stage resistance transformation. When the varistor reaches the upper limit of the withstand voltage at the N terminal of the semi-insulated PT, it conducts to form a grounding discharge path.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: By using a unit structure consisting of a PTC thermistor and a PPTC thermistor connected in series, and then in parallel with a thin-film capacitor and a varistor, combined with a design of N units connected in series, a rapid response mechanism for two-stage resistance value transformation is achieved. Whether it is a scenario where the neutral point current rapidly changes to the PPTC operating current during PT ferromagnetic saturation resonance, or a scenario where the current rises slowly but does not reach the operating current, the graded action of both can precisely limit the current increase and efficiently eliminate resonance. At the same time, the varistor conducts and discharges in a timely manner when the PTN terminal reaches the upper limit of its withstand voltage, fundamentally preventing equipment damage due to overvoltage and overcurrent, and ensuring the stable operation of the power system.

[0015] For semi-insulated power supplies (PTs) with different voltage levels from 6kV to 20kV and 35kV, the device achieves targeted adaptation by precisely matching component specifications and the number of units connected in series, significantly improving its versatility. The combined design of an aluminum alloy base, a high thermal conductivity epoxy resin shell, and a high thermal conductivity silicone filler not only enhances heat dissipation but also improves the insulation strength between components. Coupled with core components with excellent voltage and temperature resistance, the device can maintain stable and reliable operation under high voltage and complex conditions, effectively compensating for the shortcomings of traditional harmonic suppression devices, such as slow response, poor adaptability, and insufficient stability.

The outer casing 8 is made of epoxy resin material with high thermal conductivity; The circuit board 9 consists of a PCB board, a PTC thermistor 1, a PPTC thermistor 2, a thin film capacitor 3, and a varistor 5; Filler 10 is filled with high thermal conductivity silicone to improve heat dissipation and insulation strength between components on the PCB circuit board.

[0023] The aforementioned current-sensitive harmonic elimination device for use with a primary neutral point of a semi-insulated PT is available in two models: one is for use with a semi-insulated electromagnetic voltage transformer in the 6kV-20kV range, and the other is for use with a semi-insulated electromagnetic voltage transformer in the 35kV range.

[0024] Semi-insulated electromagnetic voltage transformers for 6kV-20kV applications: The PTC thermistor 1 is a thermistor with a withstand voltage of VDC 800V-1000V, an R value of 0.8-1.0KΩ at 25℃, and a Curie temperature of 70-100℃. The PPTC thermistor 2 is a thermistor with a withstand voltage of VDC 800V-1000V, R25℃ of 40-60Ω, operating current of 50-100mA, and operating time of less than or equal to 1.5S. The thin-film capacitor 3 is a thin-film capacitor with a withstand voltage of VDC1000V-2000V and a resistance of 50-80nF; The varistor 5 is a varistor with a clamping voltage of Vac120V; The aforementioned semi-insulated electromagnetic voltage transformer primary neutral point access current-sensitive harmonic elimination device for 6kV-20kV uses the above-mentioned components, with PTC thermistor 1 and PPTC thermistor 2 connected in series, and simultaneously connected in parallel with film capacitor 3 and varistor 5 to form a unit. The main circuit of the device is formed by connecting N units in series, where N equals 25. The filler is made of GN-7055 two-component addition-type liquid silicone rubber with a breakdown strength of 20kV / mm and a thermal conductivity of 5.0W / (mK).

[0025] Semi-insulated electromagnetic voltage transformers for 35kV applications: The PTC thermistor 1 is a thermistor with a withstand voltage of VDC 800V-1000V, an R value of 0.8-1.0KΩ at 25℃, and a Curie temperature of 70-100℃. The PPTC thermistor 2 is a thermistor with a withstand voltage of VDC 800V-1000V, R25℃ of 40-60Ω, operating current of 50-100mA, and operating time of less than or equal to 1.5S. The thin-film capacitor 3 is a thin-film capacitor with a withstand voltage of VDC1000V-2000V and a resistance of 50-80nF; The varistor 5 is a varistor with a clamping voltage of Vac125V; The aforementioned harmonic elimination device for a 35kV semi-insulated electromagnetic voltage transformer with primary neutral point access current-sensitive type uses the above-mentioned components, with PTC thermistor 1 and PPTC thermistor 2 connected in series, and simultaneously connected in parallel with film capacitor 3 and varistor 5 to form a unit. The main circuit of the device is formed by connecting N units in series, where N equals 40. The filler is made of GN-7055 two-component addition-type liquid silicone rubber with a breakdown strength of 20kV / mm and a thermal conductivity of 5.0W / (mK).

[0026] In field applications, terminal 6 is connected to the primary neutral point of the PT, and base 7 is fixed to the grounding busbar with bolts. When the PT experiences a ferroresonant saturation resonance overvoltage, the neutral point shifts. If the neutral point current rapidly increases to the operating current of the PPTC thermistor, the resistance of the PPTC thermistor first rises rapidly, and then rises rapidly again as the temperature increases, thus limiting the rapid increase of current and eliminating resonance. If the neutral point current rises slowly and does not reach the operating current of the PPTC thermistor, the resistance of the PPTC thermistor first rises, and then rises rapidly as the current increases to reach the operating current of the PPTC thermistor, thus limiting the rapid increase of current and eliminating resonance. In practical applications, these two processes can occur individually, alternately, or simultaneously, achieving two-stage resistance transformation and working together to achieve a rapid response in resistance transformation. If the N-terminal of the semi-insulated PT reaches the upper limit of its withstand voltage (3kV for 10kV type, 5kV for 35kV type) during the process of eliminating resonance in the harmonic elimination device, the varistor will conduct to form a grounding discharge path to prevent the N-terminal voltage of the semi-insulated PT from exceeding the withstand value.
