Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to an on-line monitoring device for contact wear of a new type of circuit breaker vacuum interrupter, belonging to the technical field of power equipment monitoring. Background Technique
[0002] During the actual use of a high-voltage circuit breaker, the contacts of the circuit breaker vacuum interrupter are often worn under the mechanical force of the opening and closing springs. When the contacts of the circuit breaker vacuum interrupter are severely worn, the over-travel will decrease. The decrease in over-travel will lead to a reduction in the contact area of the interrupter contacts, thereby increasing the contact resistance. When the circuit breaker conducts a large current, due to the increase in resistance, heat will be generated at the contact of the contacts, ultimately leading to the burning of the circuit breaker. For an operating circuit breaker, due to the limitations of the circuit breaker's use environment, it is currently impossible to achieve on-line monitoring of the contact wear of the circuit breaker vacuum interrupter. Content of the Utility Model
[0003] In order to overcome the above deficiencies, the utility model proposes an on-line monitoring device for contact wear of a new type of circuit breaker vacuum interrupter to solve the above problems.
[0004] The utility model aims to provide an on-line monitoring device capable of real-time monitoring of the contact wear of a circuit breaker vacuum interrupter. Through vibration and displacement sensing technologies, it can accurately judge the contact wear state, provide a scientific basis for the maintenance and replacement of the circuit breaker, and ensure the safe and stable operation of the power grid.

When in use, it is installed at the lower end of the breaker pull rod. When the moving and static contacts are separated instantaneously during breaker opening and closing, a vibration signal is generated, which will cause the LDTO-028K cantilever beam structure thin film vibration sensor to deviate from the mechanical natural axis. The bending can generate high stress in the piezoelectric polymer, thereby generating a high voltage output.
