[0021] It should be noted that the terms "first", "second", etc. in the specification and claims of the present application and the above-mentioned drawings are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequential order. It should be understood that the data used in this way can be interchangeable where appropriate, so that the embodiments of the present application described herein can be implemented in a sequence other than those illustrated or described herein. In addition, the terms "including" and "having" and any of their variations are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions, for example, a process, method, system, product or device comprising a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units clearly listed, but may include other steps or units that are not clearly listed or inherent to these processes, methods, products or devices.
[0022] like Figure 1 As shown, the present application provides a power distribution protection system for a submersible motor, comprising: a submersible motor control box; the submersible motor control box comprises: a circuit breaker 1 connected to the submersible motor, and a leakage protector 2, a water leakage and overheating protection unit 3, a contactor 4 and a motor protector 5 connected in sequence.
[0023] It can prevent water leakage from the submersible motor casing, thus avoiding damage to the motor insulation layer, which may lead to burning of the motor and even electrification of nearby water bodies, thereby improving the safety and practicality of the submersible motor. At the same time, it makes the power distribution protection of the submersible motor form a complete system, solving the technical problems of large torque and high starting current of the submersible motor, small applicable protection range of the thermal protection distribution circuit of the conventional motor, and the need to replace different electrical components each time for different models.
[0024] In addition, the circuit breaker 1, and the leakage protector 2, water leakage and overheating protection unit 3, contactor 4 and motor protector 5 connected in sequence can be connected to the plant central control system respectively, and can directly feed back to the plant central control system, thereby improving the intelligence level of the power distribution protection system.
[0025] As an optional embodiment, the control box is connected to an alarm device for outputting an alarm signal when the leakage protector 2 and / or the contactor 4 and / or the motor protector 5 and / or the water leakage and overheating protection unit 3 detects a power distribution fault.
[0026] Wherein, the alarm device can be an audible and visual alarm buzzer. The provision of the alarm device can further improve the practicality of the power distribution protection system and improve the safety of the submersible motor.
[0027] As an optional implementation, the rated residual operating current of the circuit breaker 1 is 300 mA.
[0028] The circuit breaker 1 with 300mA rated residual operating current protection can effectively disconnect the control circuit when a leakage occurs in the line. Moreover, since the residual operating current is 300mA, it can effectively avoid erroneous opening and closing operations in a humid environment.
[0029] As an optional implementation, the motor protector 5 includes an overload protection function, a blocking protection function, a phase failure protection function, a three-phase unbalance protection function, an undercurrent protection function, a grounding protection function, a PTC temperature protection function, and a communication protection function.
[0030] Use a motor protector 5 with protections such as overload, blockage, phase failure, three-phase imbalance, undercurrent, grounding, PTC temperature, and communication failure to meet the operating needs of the submersible motor. You can use a motor protector 5 suitable for AC motors with a rated current of 1 to 800A that can work long-term or intermittently.
[0031] As an optional implementation manner, the setting current range of the motor protector 5 includes multiple segments.
[0032] For example, the current setting range of the motor protector 5 can be set to 6 sections: 5A, 10A, 40A, 100A, 400A, and 800A. The characteristic parameters of the motor protector 5 can also be networked using RS485 communication, enabling remote monitoring, control, and fault query of the submersible motor through a host computer.
[0033] As an optional embodiment, the submersible motor control box includes a control panel and a display screen, which are embedded in the door panel of the control box and can display the operating current in real time without adding an ammeter conversion.
[0034] As an optional embodiment, the control panel also includes an overload fault indicator light, a blockage fault indicator light, a phase failure fault indicator light, a three-phase imbalance fault indicator light, an undercurrent fault indicator light, a grounding fault indicator light, a PTC temperature fault indicator light and a communication fault indicator light, which light up when the motor protector identifies overload, blockage, phase failure, three-phase imbalance, undercurrent, grounding, PTC temperature fault and communication fault.
[0035] As an optional embodiment, the water leakage and overheating protection unit 3 includes a water leakage and overheating dual-detection relay protector. When a water leakage and overheating signal is fed back from the submersible motor, the water leakage and overheating dual-detection relay protector outputs an alarm, disconnects the motor's secondary circuit, and generates an audible and visual alarm at the control box. Simultaneously, the relay is connected to the plant's central control system, and the signal is transmitted back to the plant's central control system to generate an alarm, facilitating timely troubleshooting by maintenance personnel.
[0036] As an optional embodiment, the submersible motor control box includes a double door, and the outer door is provided with a glass window; the top of the submersible motor control box is also provided with a rainproof structure.
[0037] Submersible motor control boxes are generally installed near water bodies in humid environments, and some water contains corrosive substances. Therefore, the main body material can be made of stainless steel 304, with double doors, the outer door with a glass window, anti-corrosion grade WF2, and a rain cap on the top of the box. The protection grade of the entire box is not less than IP55.
[0038] As an optional implementation, the control panel is further provided with a stop button, a start button, a manual / automatic switch and an operation signal indicator light.
