Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of current transformers, and in particular relates to a primary terminal of a current transformer. Background Art
[0002] As we all know, the current transformer is an instrument that converts the large current on the primary side into the small current on the secondary side for measurement based on the principle of electromagnetic induction. The current in the power generation, transformation, transmission, distribution and power consumption lines varies greatly, ranging from a few amperes to tens of thousands of amperes. In order to facilitate measurement, protection and control, it needs to be converted into a relatively uniform current. In addition, the voltage on the line is generally high, and direct measurement is very dangerous. The current transformer plays the role of current conversion and electrical isolation. The welding quality of the primary terminal and the primary winding during the production process of the current transformer determines the performance and quality of the current transformer.
[0003] At present, the primary terminal of the traditional current transformer is an L-shaped terminal with 2-3 through holes on the short side of the L-shaped terminal. During the manufacturing process of the current transformer, the primary winding wire of the current transformer is passed through the through hole for winding. After the winding is completed, the primary terminal and the primary winding wire are fixed by crimping. During the crimping, copper wire is also needed for caulking, which results in a thicker interface and a thinner insulating resin wrapping the interface.
[0004] However, it was found during the use that the traditional technology still has the following defects:
[0005] First, the manufacturing process of L-shaped terminals is complicated, and the material and processing costs are high;
[0006] Second, the crimping process requires the use of copper wire to fill the gap, which is a complex process, difficult to operate, and takes more time;
[0007] Third, the insulating resin at the crimping point is relatively thin, which may easily lead to conductor discharge during the power frequency withstand voltage test or in use, posing a safety hazard. Utility Model Content
[0008] The utility model aims to provide a primary terminal of a current transformer to solve the technical problems of the L-shaped terminal proposed in the above background technology, such as the complex manufacturing process, high material and processing costs, and the crimping process and insulation.
[0009] In order to achieve the above purpose, the utility model provides the following technical solutions:
[0010] A primary terminal of a current transformer, wherein the primary current of the current transformer is less than or equal to 400A, and the primary winding conductor of the current transformer is connected to the primary terminal; the primary terminal is a rectangular sheet structure, and a plurality of busbar connection grooves are arranged on the primary terminal, and inserts are arranged in the busbar connection grooves. When connecting the busbar conductor to the primary terminal, the busbar connection conductor is pressed against the bottom of the busbar connection groove, and the inserts are tightened to fix it; one end of the primary terminal is welded to the primary winding conductor, and the primary terminal and the primary winding conductor are perpendicular to each other.
[0011] Preferably, the ratio of the length to the width of the primary terminal is 69:49; the ratio of the width to the thickness of the primary terminal is 49:6.
[0012] Preferably, there are two busbar connection slots on each primary terminal to provide more busbar connection options, allowing connection of multiple wires or devices, thereby increasing flexibility and improving functionality of the primary terminal.
[0013] Preferably, the busbar connection groove is a threaded groove that is open at the lower end and closed at the upper end, which is used to ensure a reliable connection for the insert, avoid loosening of the insert during operation, and ensure the firmness and stability of the connection between the busbar conductor and the primary terminal.
[0014] Preferably, a thread is provided on the upper end of the insert for matching with a busbar connection groove having a thread, thereby ensuring a stable connection between the busbar conductor and the primary terminal.
[0015] Preferably, the insert includes an upper half connected to the connecting groove and a lower half located outside the busbar connecting groove. The diameter of the lower half is larger than the inner diameter of the busbar connecting groove. The lower half of the insert with a larger diameter can block the busbar connecting groove to prevent the resin from entering the busbar connecting groove when pouring the insulating resin, thereby increasing the resistance at the connection between the busbar conductor and the primary terminal and causing a safety accident.
[0016] Preferably, the diameter of the busbar connecting groove is 12.5 mm.
[0017] Preferably, the upper end surface of the primary winding wire is welded to one end of the lower bottom surface of the primary terminal, thereby ensuring the reliability and stability of current transmission.
