Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of switching high-voltage capacitors, and particularly relates to a high-voltage integrated contactless on-off switch. Background Art

[0002] In the power system, high-voltage reactive power compensation is an important means to improve the power factor of the power grid and reduce power loss. Traditional high-voltage reactive power compensation devices mostly use vacuum contactors (or vacuum circuit breakers) to switch capacitors in groups. However, this switching method has a series of significant disadvantages, which limit its effect and reliability in practical applications.

[0003] Firstly, when a vacuum contactor (or vacuum circuit breaker) connects a capacitor, due to the transient charging process of the capacitor, a large inrush current will be generated. The generation of this inrush current is closely related to the size of the inductive load, impedance, capacitance of the capacitor, and reactance in the circuit. Although the inrush current can quickly decay to a harmless level within a few milliseconds, its instantaneous peak current may cause serious damage to the switching equipment. Especially for switches with poor closing characteristics and slow closing speed, breakdown arcs may be generated due to incomplete closing of the contacts during the closing process, resulting in a sharp increase in the closing current, and even causing mechanical stress and vibration inside the switch, ultimately damaging the switching equipment.

[0004] Secondly, when a vacuum contactor (or vacuum circuit breaker) switches capacitors in groups, overvoltage is easily generated during the capacitor disconnection process. This overvoltage may not only damage the capacitor itself but also pose a threat to other equipment in the power grid.

[0005] In addition, as a mechanical contact switch, the dynamic response speed of a vacuum contactor (or vacuum circuit breaker) is relatively slow, making it difficult to adapt to places with fast load fluctuations. In these situations, the effect of reactive power compensation often fails to meet expectations, affecting the stability and economy of the power grid. At the same time, the switch with mechanical contacts is also limited by the mechanical life and is not suitable for frequent operation, which further restricts its application in dynamic reactive power compensation.

[0006] On the other hand, traditional high-voltage contactless switches usually adopt a tower structure or a layered superposition structure. These structural forms are complex, which not only increases the installation difficulty but also makes later maintenance and repair extremely difficult. In addition, these structures mostly use small-power modular thyristors as core components. Since the voltage and current withstand capabilities of a single module are limited, a large number of thyristors need to be connected in series in the series circuit to meet the requirements of high voltage and large current. However, the increase in the number of thyristors not only makes it difficult to solve the voltage sharing problem of each thyristor but also increases the difficulty and complexity of trigger synchronization.

[0007] In summary, traditional high-voltage reactive power compensation devices and high-voltage non-contact switches have many deficiencies and limitations in practical applications. Therefore, it is of great significance to develop a high-voltage integrated non-contact on-off switch with a simple structure, reliable performance, and flexible operation. Summary of the Invention

[0008] To solve the above problems, the present utility model provides a high-voltage integrated non-contact on-off switch, which shows remarkable technical effects in reducing inrush current and overvoltage during closing, improving dynamic response speed, enhancing durability and reliability, simplifying structure and installation, optimizing voltage equalization and trigger synchronization, enhancing heat dissipation performance, improving isolation safety, and meeting the requirements of high voltage and large current.

[0040] Such as Figures 1 to 7As shown in the figure, the high-voltage integrated non-contact on-off switch consists of components such as an insulating frame 1, a flat thyristor 2, a voltage-sharing resistor 3, a voltage-sharing capacitor 4 for a resistor-capacitor absorption device buffer absorption circuit, a support copper bar 5, a trigger module 6, a zero-crossing resistor 7, a thyristor trigger 8, a power transformer 9, and a cooling fan 10.

[0041] The insulating frame 1 of the high-voltage integrated non-contact on-off switch is composed of epoxy glass steel plates with insulating properties and high strength. The flat thyristor 2 is standing-mounted in the epoxy glass steel plate frame.

[0042] The resistor-capacitor absorption device buffer absorption circuit of the voltage-sharing resistor 3 and the voltage-sharing capacitor 4 is installed and fixed on one side of the flat thyristor 2 through a copper bar bracket 5; the zero-crossing resistor 7 and the trigger module 6 are installed and fixed on the other side of the flat thyristor 2 through a high-strength insulating board.

[0043] On the front of the insulating frame 1 of the high-voltage integrated non-contact on-off switch, a thyristor trigger 8 is installed. Below the thyristor trigger 8, a power conversion transformer 9 that converts AC 220V to AC 50V and AC 18V is installed. This power transformer 9 provides power for the internal circuit of the thyristor trigger 8. There is an epoxy glass steel plate with insulating properties and high strength between the flat thyristor 2 assembly and the thyristor trigger 8, and a sufficient creepage distance is left to ensure the isolation of high-voltage signals and low-voltage signals.

[0044] The structural form of the flat thyristor 2 is composed of ten flat thyristors connected in series in the forward direction and five in parallel in the reverse direction.

[0045] The structure of the insulating frame 1 is composed of epoxy glass steel plates with insulating properties and high strength.

[0046] The flat thyristor 2 used is a flat thyristor with a voltage of 6500V, a current of 350A, and an integrated heat sink and thyristor.

[0047] The trigger 8 of the high-voltage integrated non-contact on-off switch receives an external 12V signal, emits a trigger signal, and transmits the trigger signal through an optical fiber connection to the trigger module 6 of the thyristor assembly, enabling the five groups of thyristor components to conduct simultaneously.

[0048] At the bottom of the high-voltage integrated non-contact on-off switch, two high-power cooling fans 10 are installed. The cooling fans 10 blow air from the bottom up, quickly discharging the heat generated by the thyristor module, ensuring that the internal components of the thyristor module are always in the optimal working state.

[0049] In a specific embodiment:

[0050] Five thyristors in forward series connection and five thyristors in reverse parallel connection are electrically connected through high-quality wires or copper bars to ensure smooth current flow and uniform distribution. These connection points need to adopt professional welding or crimping techniques to ensure the reliability and durability of the connections.

[0051] The resistor-capacitor absorption device composed of voltage-sharing resistors 3 and voltage-sharing capacitors 4 is connected to one side of the flat thyristor 2 through a dedicated copper bar or wire to effectively absorb and buffer overvoltage and overcurrent. When connecting, attention should be paid to the polarities of the resistor and the capacitor to ensure correct connection.

[0052] The trigger module 6 is connected to the thyristor assembly through an optical fiber or other high-speed signal transmission lines to achieve fast and accurate transmission of trigger signals. Optical fiber connection has the advantages of strong anti-interference ability and small signal attenuation, which can ensure the stability and reliability of trigger signals.

[0053] The layout of components such as the flat thyristor 2, voltage-sharing resistors 3, and voltage-sharing capacitors 4 in the insulating frame 1 needs to be reasonably designed to ensure convenient electrical connection, good heat dissipation effect, and easy maintenance and repair. At the same time, sufficient gaps and creepage distances need to be left between components to prevent electrical breakdown and short-circuit phenomena.

[0054] The trigger 8 receives an external 12V signal, and this signal enters the device through a dedicated signal input interface. The signal input interface needs to adopt standard electrical interfaces (such as DB9, RJ45, etc.), and clearly mark the electrical characteristics and wiring methods of the interface to facilitate users to correctly connect the external signal source.

[0055] The device also needs to provide a power interface for connecting an external power supply to supply power to the device. The power interface needs to comply with relevant safety standards and specifications to ensure the safety and stability of the device during power supply.

[0056] When an external 12V signal is input to the trigger 8, the trigger will emit a trigger signal. This signal is transmitted to the trigger module 6 of the thyristor assembly through an optical fiber or other high-speed signal transmission lines, causing the five groups of thyristor assemblies to conduct simultaneously. The transmission process of the trigger signal needs to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the signal to avoid mis-triggering or missed triggering phenomena.

[0057] This high-voltage integrated non-contact on-off switch solves the problems of short service life of switching capacitors when using a vacuum contactor (or vacuum circuit breaker); solves the problem of slow response speed due to mechanical contacts when using a vacuum contactor (or vacuum circuit breaker) to switch capacitors; adopts the zero-crossing triggering method to trigger thyristors, avoiding the inrush current generated when the capacitor bank is put into operation and the overvoltage of the capacitor generated when it is cut off.

[0058] This high-voltage integrated non-contact on-off switch solves the problems of the traditional high-voltage non-contact switch, such as its complex structural form, extremely difficult installation and subsequent maintenance; at the same time, it solves the problems of a large number of thyristors in the traditional non-contact switch, extremely difficult achievement of thyristor voltage sharing, and difficult realization of trigger synchronization.
