Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of transformer cores, in particular to an iron core structure of an oil-immersed current transformer. Background Art

[0002] Oil-immersed current transformers provide electrical measurement and protection for 10-1000kV transformers. They feature a wrap-around structure and are placed inside the transformer's riser. Because they lack inserts for fixation, consistency in inner and outer diameters is essential. This allows customers to secure the transformer with epoxy panels around the perimeter.

[0003] When negotiating parameters, most customers will ask for an instrument safety factor with the accuracy level. The instrument safety factor limit means that the instruments and meters in the secondary circuit of the current transformer are not impacted by large currents. It is hoped that the secondary current of the current transformer used for measurement will no longer increase strictly in proportion to the overcurrent condition.

[0004] We use the measurement level error calculation formula:

[0005]

[0006] Where K 2z ——Considering the coefficient of winding internal impedance, usually K 2z =1.1~1.5;

[0007] A c ——Core cross section, cm 2 ;

[0008] I 2n ——Rated secondary current, A;

[0009] Z 2n ——Rated secondary load, Ω;

[0010] f——rated frequency, Hz;

[0011] N 2n ——Rated secondary turns;

[0012] B n ——Primary rated magnetic density, T.

[0013] To ensure the safety factor of the instrument, it is necessary to ensure that FS≤5, 100% point density is greater than 3000, FS≤10, 100% point density is greater than 1500. It can be seen from the formula that when the impedance, rated secondary current, rated secondary load, rated frequency, and rated secondary turns remain unchanged, in order to increase the density, the core cross-section must be reduced. Customers will specify the inner and outer diameters of the product at the initial stage of selection. Then, reducing the cross-section of the core will inevitably change the inner and outer diameters of the product, which violates the design requirement of consistency of the inner and outer diameters of the product. Therefore, it is necessary to design a new core structure to meet the above requirements. Summary of the Invention

[0014] Aiming at improving at least one defect of the prior art, the utility model provides an iron core structure of a current transformer, which solves the problem that the technical indicators and appearance dimensions of the iron core cannot meet the design requirements at the same time.

[0015] The technical solution adopted by the present invention is an iron core structure of a current transformer, comprising a protective shell and a core body, the protective shell comprising a cavity and a cover body, the cover body covering the upper end of the cavity to form a toroidal structure with a circular cavity, the outer diameter of the protective shell is equal to the outer diameter of the iron core required by the design, a baffle is provided in the protective shell to separate the circular cavity into two concentric annular cavities, namely a first cavity and a second cavity, the second cavity is located on the outer ring of the first cavity, the core body is installed in the first cavity, the core body is made of alloy material, and the size parameters of the core body are calculated according to the instrument safety factor required by the design.

[0016] Preferably, the cavity and cover of the protective shell are both integrally formed structures, and the cavity and cover are fixedly connected after the core is installed.

[0017] Preferably, the cross-sectional area of ​​the first cavity is adapted to the cross-sectional area of ​​the core, so that the core can be fixed exactly in the first cavity.

[0018] Preferably, the lower side of the baffle is fixed to the inner bottom surface of the cavity, and the upper side of the baffle is pressed against the lower surface of the cover.

[0019] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: the present invention adopts a special shell structure that not only meets the instrument safety factor, but also meets the product's dimensional consistency requirements. In addition, other accuracy levels (measurement levels) can effectively reduce costs and product weight through the use of this structural alloy while ensuring error scores and alloy unsaturation. At the same time, this solution is also widely used in other accuracy levels (measurement levels) without instrument safety factors. While ensuring error scores and alloy unsaturation, this solution can be adopted. The purpose is not only to meet the parameters, but also to effectively reduce product costs and product weight, saving production costs. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
