[0062] To make the purpose, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention more clear, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments.

They are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they cannot be understood as limitations on the present invention.

[0064] Furthermore, the terms “first,” “second,” “third,” and “fourth” are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0065] It should also be noted that, in the description of this utility model, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, the terms "mounted," "connected," and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, they can refer to fixed connections, detachable connections, or integral connections; mechanical connections, electrical connections; direct connections, indirect connections through an intermediate medium, and internal communication between two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0066] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the combined current transformer provided by the embodiment of the present utility model includes a current mutual inductance part 1 and a leakage mutual inductance part 2.

[0067] Among them, the current mutual inductance part 1 includes a first busbar 11, a first inductor coil 12 and a first shell 13. The first busbar 11 is U-shaped. A first inner hollow column 131 is provided inside the first shell 13, and a first outer hollow column 132 is provided outside the first shell. The two ends of the first busbar 11 pass through the first inner hollow column 131 and the first outer hollow column 132 respectively. The first inductor coil 12 is arranged in the first shell 13 and is sleeved on the outside of the first inner hollow column 131. The wire end of the first inductor coil 12 is connected to the first pin 14, and the first pin 14 extends downward from the first shell 13.

[0068] The leakage mutual inductance part 2 includes a second busbar 21, a second inductance coil 22 and a second shell 23. The second busbar 21 is U-shaped. The interior of the second shell 23 is provided with a second inner hollow column 231 and a third inner hollow column 232, and the outside is provided with a second outer hollow column 233 and a third outer hollow column 234. The two ends of the second busbar 21 pass through the third inner hollow column 232 and the third outer hollow column 234 respectively. The second inductance coil 22 is arranged in the second shell 23 and is sleeved on the outside of the second inner hollow column 231 and the third inner hollow column 232. The wire end of the second inductance coil 22 is connected to the second pin 24, and the second pin 24 extends downward from the second shell 23.

[0069] The assembled current transformer 1 and leakage transformer 2 are potted separately. In this embodiment, the potting material (not shown) is made using existing technology and solidifies from a liquid state during potting to achieve encapsulation. The potting material flows into the semi-finished product and can penetrate all gaps, achieving dustproofing, waterproofing, corrosion resistance, aging resistance, and improved electrical strength. In some examples, the potting material can be made of materials such as epoxy resin, polyurethane, and silicone rubber.

[0070] After the encapsulating material solidifies, the encapsulated current transformer 1 and leakage transformer 2 are assembled, with the first housing 13 and second housing 23 butted against each other. The two ends of the first busbar 11 pass through the first inner hollow column 131 and the first outer hollow column 132, then exit through the second inner hollow column 231 and the second outer hollow column 233, respectively. The first pin 14 extends downward through the second housing 23, completing the assembly of the current transformer 1 and leakage transformer 2. This combined current transformer simultaneously measures both main circuit current and leakage current, while maintaining a compact structure and small size.

[0071] In one example, the first busbar 11 is embedded in the first shell 13 when the first shell 13 is formed, thereby achieving an integral connection between the two, avoiding gaps between the first busbar 11 and the first shell 13, achieving a more stable connection, and reducing assembly workload.

[0072] The first inductor 12 can be selected from the corresponding structures in the prior art according to the measurement requirements. Figure 6As shown, in this embodiment, the first inductor 12 includes a first annular core 121 and a first winding 122 . The first winding 122 is formed by winding enameled wire on the first annular core 121 . Two wire ends of the first winding 122 are respectively connected to a first pin 14 .

[0073] See also Figure 7 As shown, the second inductor 22 includes a second annular magnetic core 221, a second winding 222, a third winding 223 and a fourth winding 224, wherein the second winding 222, the third winding 223 and the fourth winding 224 are all formed by winding enameled wire on the second annular magnetic core 221, and the second winding 222, the third winding 223 and the fourth winding 224 are arranged at intervals in the circumferential direction, the number of turns of the third winding 223 is less than that of the second winding 222 and the fourth winding 224, and the number of turns of the second winding 222 and the fourth winding 224 are the same, the third winding 223 is located between the second winding 222 and the fourth winding 224, and the two wire ends of each winding in the second winding 222, the third winding 223 and the fourth winding 224 are respectively connected to a second pin 24.

[0074] To shield against magnetic field influences, see Figure 8 As shown, in this embodiment, an annular shielding shell 27 made of a low remanent magnetism material is further provided on the outer side of the second inductor 22. The annular shielding shell 27 has openings for the wire ends of the second winding 222, the third winding 223, and the fourth winding 224 to pass through. The annular shielding shell includes an annular shell and a detachable annular cover.

[0075] To facilitate connection, in this embodiment, the first pin 14 and the second pin 24 are located in the same area to form a pin header for external connection.

[0076] In order to improve the electrical strength between the busbar and the pin and reduce the impact between the busbars, a first shielding baffle 25 is provided between the first busbar 11 and the second busbar 21. A second shielding baffle 26 is provided between the pin and the adjacent busbar. Figures 1 to 5 As shown, in the solution where the first pin 14 and the second pin 24 form a pin header, a second shielding baffle 26 is provided between the pin header and the second busbar 21 .

[0077] In order to further improve the measurement accuracy, in this embodiment, the first annular magnetic core 121 and the second annular magnetic core 221 use ultra-microcrystalline rings with relatively high initial magnetic permeability as the magnetic cores, which not only have high accuracy but also small size.

[0078] In order to achieve accurate positioning and docking of the current mutual inductance part 1 and the leakage mutual inductance part 2 and prevent circumferential rotation, see Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, in this embodiment, an insert block 133 is provided at the lower end of the first shell 13 , and a groove 235 is provided at the upper end of the second shell 23 . When the first shell 13 and the second shell 23 are docked, the insert block 133 is inserted into the groove 235 .

[0079] The combined current transformer in this embodiment is fully enclosed, offering excellent environmental resistance, high insulation strength, and resistance to shock and moisture. Combining two different functional transformers into one unit creates a compact structure and small size, effectively saving space. Of course, the current transformer and leakage transformer can be separated and used independently if needed.

[0080] In a specific example of the solution of the present invention, the first annular magnetic core is an ultra-fine crystal ring with an outer diameter of 20 mm, an inner diameter of 16 mm, and a height (axial dimension) of 8 mm, and is wound with 2000 turns of 2UEWΦ0.10 mm enameled wire. The second annular magnetic core is an ultra-fine crystal ring with an outer diameter of 20 mm, an inner diameter of 18 mm, and a height (axial dimension) of 3.2 mm, and is wound with two groups of 75 turns and one group of 5 turns respectively of 2UEWΦ0.20 mm enameled wire. It is potted with epoxy resin and assembled together after potting. An annular shielding shell is provided around the outside of the second inductor coil. A first shielding baffle is provided between the first busbar and the second busbar. A second shielding baffle is provided between the pin header and the adjacent busbar.

[0081] The technical parameters of the combined current transformer are detailed in Table 1.

[0085] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution. In the absence of a conflict of solutions, the various technical features mentioned in each embodiment can be combined in any manner to form other implementation methods that can be understood by those skilled in the art.

[0086] In addition, without departing from the scope of the present invention, the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments may be modified, or some of the technical features thereof may be replaced by equivalents, without causing the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to depart from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
