Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of current transformers, and particularly relates to an auxiliary device for ratio conversion of current transformers. Background Technique

[0002] A current transformer is a device that measures by converting a large primary current into a small secondary current based on the principle of electromagnetic induction, and it is widely used in the power system.

[0003] Since the construction of power infrastructure is planned according to the long-term scale, the power loads in the future and at present have different requirements for the capacities of power equipment at different stages. For example, Figure 1 As shown, it is a line interval of the power system. The three-phase current planned for this period is 1,600 A, and the long-term requirement is 2,000 A. The part enclosed by the dotted line is a three-phase double-ratio current transformer. To meet the measurement and control accuracy, with different power line loads, the rated current parameters of the current transformer also need to change accordingly. Multi-ratio current transformers have been widely used in the power system.

[0004] Due to the possible differences in the recent and long-term power loads of the power system, multi-ratio current transformers are widely used. For example: 1S1-1S3 2000 / 1; 1S1-1S2 1600 / 1; when the power load is large, the large ratio 2000 / 1 is adopted, and when the power load is low, the small ratio 1600 / 1 is adopted. Selecting the ratio according to actual needs can increase the accuracy of the current collected by the current transformer.

[0005] For example, Figure 2 As shown, on the left is a three-phase multi-ratio current transformer, which is connected to the instrument on the right through a cable. Its function is to collect the primary current in the power system, convert the large system current into a small current according to a ratio and collect it into an ammeter or a relay protection device for monitoring the system operation status and protecting the system safety.

[0006] When the current transformer is in live operation, it is not allowed to open the secondary side. Opening the secondary side will generate extremely high voltage, threatening the safety of staff and secondary equipment. At present, the traditional wiring method is to fixedly select a ratio for wiring. When the ratio needs to be switched, the whole station or this interval needs to be powered off. Power outage of important users will affect safe production and reduce the power supply reliability of the power system. Power outage of the substation requires opening a work permit and performing a series of complex switching operations, consuming a lot of time. It is necessary for the construction unit to go to the site to modify the terminal block wiring to adjust the ratio. After the loop inspection is safe, power can be restored.

[0007] The traditional method has the following disadvantages:

[0008] 1. Switching the ratio requires complex wiring modification work, and operation errors may bring potential power supply hazards.

[0009] 2. Changing the transformation ratio requires power outage of the substation, which affects the normal production of power users and reduces the power supply reliability of the power system.

[0010] 3. Restoring power supply takes time. Power outage and power restoration require operation tickets, and the processes such as switching operations are cumbersome.

[0011] 4. Modifying the wiring construction work requires multiple people to complete.

[0012] 5. If the secondary cable is not long enough, the secondary cable needs to be re-laid. Summary of the Utility Model

[0013] Aiming at the problems existing in the background technology, the purpose of the utility model is to provide an auxiliary device for current transformer transformation ratio switching with simple operation, no need to modify the wiring, no need to cut off power, and high safety.

[0014] To achieve the above purpose, the auxiliary device for current transformer transformation ratio switching designed by the utility model is characterized in that: the device is connected in series between the current transformer and the instrument; the device includes:

[0015] A neutral point circuit, one end of which is connected to the neutral point terminal of the current transformer, and the other end is connected to the instrument;

[0016] A multi-phase transformation circuit, one end of each phase transformation circuit is electrically connected to one phase of the current transformer, and the other end is electrically connected to one end of an output circuit, and the other end of the output circuit is connected to the instrument;

[0017] A transformation ratio switching plug board, one end of which is electrically connected to the output circuit, and the other end is electrically connected to one of the transformation ratios of the phase transformation circuit;

[0018] A short-circuit plug board. When switching the transformation ratio, the short-circuit plug board electrically connects the same transformation ratio of each phase transformation circuit and the neutral point circuit at the same time to ensure that the secondary side of the current transformer will not be open-circuited.

[0019] Preferably, each phase transformation circuit is provided with two transformation ratio circuits; one end of each transformation ratio circuit is electrically connected to the current transformer, and the other end is provided with a socket; according to the transformation ratio requirement, the transformation ratio switching plug board is connected to the socket.

[0020] Further preferably, when switching the transformation ratio, the short-circuit plug board electrically connects the transformation ratio circuit with a higher transformation ratio in each phase transformation circuit at the same time.

[0021] Still further preferably, a short-circuit socket is provided on the neutral point circuit and on each transformation ratio circuit with a higher transformation ratio; when switching the transformation ratio, the short-circuit plug board is inserted into the short-circuit socket.

[0022] Further preferably, a tap ratio socket is provided at the end of each tap ratio circuit, and a tap ratio socket is also provided at the end of the output circuit; according to the tap ratio requirement, the tap ratio switching plug board is inserted into different positions to connect the tap ratio circuit and the output circuit.

[0035] The auxiliary device for current transformer ratio conversion designed by the utility model includes:

[0036] A neutral point circuit 1, one end of which is connected to the neutral point terminal of the current transformer and the other end is connected to the instrument;

[0040] Each phase conversion circuit 2 is provided with two ratio circuits. In this embodiment, they are a large ratio circuit 2.1 with a ratio of 2000 / 1 and a small ratio circuit 2.2 with a ratio of 1600 / 1 respectively.
