Traditional motors are mostly asynchronous motors. The equivalent circuit of an asynchronous motor can be regarded as a series circuit of resistance and inductance. The phase difference between its voltage and current is large, and the power factor is low. The method of parallel capacitors is often used to improve the power factor. Traditional starting cabinets are generally equipped with compensation cabinets and reactor cabinets. They are large in size and occupy a large area, which is not conducive to installation and maintenance.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0023] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings of the present application. Obviously, it should be noted that in the description of the embodiments of the present application, the terms "first" and "second" are only used to distinguish the descriptions and cannot be understood as indicating or implying the degree of their importance.

[0024] Combined with reference Figures 1 to 4 , the integrated motor starter cabinet described in this embodiment is described in detail. The starter cabinet includes a cabinet body 100 and a motor control system 20 arranged inside the cabinet body. The starter cabinet body 100 is provided with a cable chamber 30 and a component chamber 40. The cable chamber 30 is located at the upper end of the component chamber 40, and the component chamber 40 is divided into a front chamber and a rear chamber. On one side of the cable chamber 30 and the component chamber 40, a contactor chamber 50 and a reactor chamber 60 are arranged side by side from top to bottom. A dashboard is installed on the surface of the cabinet body 100, and a voltmeter and an ammeter that can be used to monitor voltage and current values ​​in different ranges are installed on the dashboard.

[0025] like Figure 1 As shown, the motor control system 20 includes a load switch-fuse combination consisting of a load switch 6 and a first fuse 10A connected in series, a voltage transformer 9, a starting contactor 8, a reactor 7 and a current transformer 5. The load switch-fuse combination, the starting contactor 8, the reactor 7 and the current transformer 5 are connected in series in sequence, and the input end of the load switch 6 is also connected to the power grid through an incoming cable 3, and the output end of the current transformer 5 is connected to an outgoing cable 2, and the outgoing cable 2 is used to connect to the motor to be started. The load switch-fuse combination is used to replace the circuit breaker used in the traditional starting cabinet to control the working state of the entire motor control system.

[0026] The voltage transformer 9 is connected in parallel between the starting contactor 8 and the first fuse 10A, and the voltage transformer 9 is also connected in series with an isolating switch 12 and a second fuse 10B to ensure the safe operation of the voltage transformer 9 and its connection circuit. The voltage transformer 9, the isolating switch 12 and the second fuse 10B are connected in series and connected in parallel between the starting contactor 8 and the first fuse 10A as a whole. The isolating switch 12 is grounded through a ground wire, and the isolating switch 12 is logically interconnected with the load switch 6. The on-off state of the isolating switch 12 is controlled by the on-off of the load switch 6. The voltage transformer 9 is used to convert the primary side voltage of the higher voltage level in the control system into a lower and standardized secondary side voltage, so that before starting, the power supply voltage can be monitored in real time through the voltmeter to confirm whether the input voltage is within the allowable range to ensure that the motor starts under normal voltage conditions. At the same time, it can also be used to continuously monitor the power supply voltage changes during the operation of the motor, so as to timely discover abnormal conditions such as voltage fluctuations, voltage loss or overvoltage, so as to trigger the protection device in the starting cabinet to ensure the safety and stability of the motor operation. Likewise, the current transformer 5 can convert a large current on the primary side into a small current on the secondary side, and the current is monitored by the ammeter.

[0027] A running contactor 1 is also connected in parallel at both ends of the reactor 7. The reactor 7 is used to limit the starting current of the motor when the motor starts, so that the motor smoothly transitions to the normal operation state. When the load switch 6 and the starting contactor 8 are closed, the running contactor 1 is kept in an open state, so that the reactor 7 is put into operation during the motor starting stage. When the motor starts and no longer needs to limit the current, the reactor 7 can be quickly cut out of the circuit by closing the running contactor 1. The running contactor 1 and the starting contactor 8 are vacuum contactors, which have the advantages of high power-off capability, short response time, and repeated breaking.

[0028] A lightning arrester 4 is also connected in parallel between the outgoing cable 2 and the current transformer 5. The lightning arrester 4 is grounded through a ground wire to transmit overvoltage to the ground for protecting the starter cabinet.

[0029] Since most of the loads used in the power system are asynchronous motors, and the equivalent circuit of the asynchronous motor can be regarded as a series circuit of resistance and inductance, the phase difference between its voltage and current is large, and the power factor is low. Therefore, in order to start the asynchronous motor in this embodiment, a reactive compensation unit is also provided. The reactive compensation unit reduces the phase difference between the voltage and current by offsetting part of the inductance current to improve the power factor. The reactive compensation unit is connected in parallel between the reactor 7 and the starting contactor 8. The reactive compensation unit includes a third fuse 10C connected in series and a compensation capacitor group 11. The compensation capacitor group 11 includes at least three groups of capacitors connected in parallel. The starting cabinet is a standardized design. When the reactive compensation unit is not provided, it can be used to start other motors other than asynchronous motors.

[0030] The incoming cable 3 and the outgoing cable 2 are arranged in the cable chamber 30, and are respectively connected to the power grid and the motor to be started through the incoming cable hole and the outgoing cable hole opened on the top of the cable chamber. The load switch-fuse combination appliance, the voltage transformer 9, the second fuse 10B, the isolating switch 12, the starting contactor 8, the current transformer 5 and the lightning arrester 4 are arranged in the front chamber, and the reactive power compensation unit is arranged in the rear chamber. The reactive power compensation unit is integrated with the starting cabinet to save installation space. The operating contactor 1 is arranged in the contactor chamber 50, and the reactor 7 is arranged in the reactor chamber 60, and the reactor 7 is installed at the bottom of the reactor chamber 60 through a guide rail, which is convenient for taking out or putting in from the starting cabinet, making maintenance more convenient.

[0031] The embodiments described in this application are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.
