Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of contactors, and in particular relates to a contactor with self-contained liquid cooling buffer. Background Art

[0002] In the inverter industry, there is a large capacitor in the inverter main circuit. The capacitor needs to be charged at the initial power-on stage. If it is not restricted, the charging current will be too large, which will cause a great impact on the power supply and rectifier components. Therefore, a buffer resistor is installed in the inverter main circuit to suppress the power-on impact current. The maximum value of the impact current is: I=540 / R (540V is the normal DC bus voltage of a 380V inverter). The charging circuit is an RC circuit. The RC circuit time cannot be too long. Too long a time will cause the charging current to drop slowly, resulting in a large average power of the resistor, unnecessary loss and excessive power-on time.

[0003] At present, in order to prevent the charging current of the capacitor from being too large, inverter manufacturers need to re-connect resistors in the inverter to suppress the current shock of power-on. The resistors generate heat during the charging process, resulting in a decrease in work efficiency. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a new contactor to solve the problem of resistor overheating during the charging process. Utility Model Content
