Description
Technical Field

[0002] A transformer is a device that uses the principle of electromagnetic induction to change AC voltage. Its main components are the primary coil, the secondary coil and the iron core. In electrical equipment and wireless circuits, it is often used to increase or decrease voltage, match impedance, and provide safety isolation. In a generator, whether the coil moves through a magnetic field or the magnetic field moves through a fixed coil, an electric potential can be induced in the coil. In both cases, the value of the magnetic flux remains unchanged, but the amount of magnetic flux intersecting the coil changes. This is the principle of mutual induction. A transformer is a device that uses electromagnetic mutual induction to transform voltage, current and impedance.

If the transformer's own impedance is too small, the transformer's starting current will be very large, which will cause the circuit breaker to trip at the moment of closing, resulting in the transformer being unable to power on, and also consuming the service life of the circuit breaker.

Through the contact between the elastic clip 15 and the support rod 14, when the movable plate 9 is completely moved to the top inner cavity of the placement slot 8, the elastic clip 15 will enter the inner cavity of the card slot 13 and contact the support rod 14. The position of the support rod 14 is fixed by the elastic clip 15, so as to fix the position of the movable plate 9 and prevent the movable plate 9 from moving out of the inner cavity of the placement slot 8 when it is not working.

[0034] Working principle: When the circuit breaker is closed, in an instant, the power grid supplies power to the transformer through the resistor 601 to open the transformer's magnetic field. Due to the voltage drop caused by the resistor 601, the starting current of the transformer is limited; then in the same time period, the coil gap of the time relay 602 is closed, and the current is sensed by the current sensor 605. After a 1-second delay, the normally open contact of the time relay 602 is closed, and then the coil of the AC contactor 604 is closed, and finally the AC contactor 604 is closed; at the same time, at the moment when the AC contactor 604 is closed, the normally closed contact of the AC contactor 604 is disconnected through the breaker 603 to cut off the power to the time relay 602, and the normally open contact of the AC contactor 604 is closed to continuously supply power to the coil of the AC contactor 604 to ensure the closed state of the AC contactor 604.
