Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of power protection, in particular to a device that does not generate arc light when a neutral line or a live line is short-circuited. Background Art
[0002] With the continuous development of society and the economy, the advancement of modern civilization, and the continuous improvement of living standards, the number and variety of electrical equipment used are increasing, and their power levels are also varying. This often leads to current overloads, which accelerate the aging of circuits and cause electrical fires. The electricity safety situation is becoming increasingly severe, and electrical fires are becoming frequent. According to the "National Fire Yearbook," electrical fires account for 37.5% of all fires and 80% of major fires. This high incidence rate poses catastrophic risks to the country, society, and families, severely impacting the harmonious and healthy development of society and becoming a serious social and livelihood issue. The increasing application of power in energy, transportation, manufacturing, communications, and modern high-rise buildings is driving ever-increasing demands for power control and distribution, and people are increasingly demanding safe electricity use and fire prevention. The power distribution system plays a crucial role in this. With the continuous advancement of technology and the expansion of its application areas, the ability to directly extinguish arcs in power short circuits without sparks, thus eliminating fires, is a universally desired goal.
[0003] Short circuit phenomenon and hazards:
[0004] 1. Definition of short circuit: In a circuit, an abnormal connection occurs between the neutral wire and the live wire, resulting in excessive current and circuit abnormality.
[0005] 2. Hazard manifestations: Short circuit may cause fire, equipment damage, power outage and other safety accidents, which will have a serious impact on production and life.
[0006] 3. Arc generation: When short circuit occurs, high-temperature arc may be generated at the contact point, further exacerbating the hazard.
[0007] Existing technical solutions:
[0008] 1. Traditional circuit breakers: They cut off the circuit through thermal or electromagnetic effects, but the operation time is long and may not be able to prevent arcing in time.
[0009] 2. Electronic protection device: uses electronic technology to detect current anomalies and quickly cut off the circuit, but there is still a risk of false operation or missed operation.
[0010] 3. Other fire prevention measures, such as using flame-retardant materials and setting up fire alarms, cannot directly solve the short-circuit arc problem.
[0011] 3. Causes of arc flash caused by short circuit of neutral and live wires:
[0012] 1. Current mutation: At the moment of short circuit, the current increases sharply, resulting in a sudden drop in voltage and a sharp increase in current density.
[0013] 2. Air breakdown: High current density causes the air to be broken down, forming a conductive channel and generating high-temperature, high-pressure plasma.
[0014] 3. Evaporation of electrode material: When the short-circuit current passes through the electrode, huge heat is generated, causing the electrode material to evaporate instantly, forming metal vapor.
[0015] 4. Arc generation: High-temperature, high-pressure plasma and metal vapor emit strong arcs, causing harm to people and equipment. Utility Model Content

[0027] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0028] The utility model provides Figure 1 The drawings shown are specifically a device that does not generate arc when the neutral and live wires are short-circuited, including a capacitor C, a resistor R, a relay K, an electrical mechanism P, a processor MCU, a temperature detection module T and a temperature detection module S. One end of the capacitor C is connected to the live wire L and the relay K, the other end of the capacitor C is connected to the resistor R, the other end of the resistor R is connected to the electrical mechanism P and the other end of the relay K, the temperature detection module T and the temperature detection module S are arranged on the line between the resistor R and the electrical mechanism P, the control end of the relay K is connected to the signal output end of the MCU, and the signal output ends of the temperature detection module T and the temperature detection module S are connected to the signal input end of the MCU.
[0029] Example 2: Based on Example 1, the MCU in this design is a single-chip microcomputer controller, but can also be a control unit such as a PLC, logic gate, or voltage comparator. Relay K is a normally closed contact relay. Temperature detection module S uses a Hall effect sensor. Temperature detection module T uses a PT100 thermistor, but other temperature detection units can also be selected based on circuit requirements.
[0030] Here’s how it works:
[0031] The transmission circuit supplies power to the power-consuming mechanism P through the capacitor C and the resistor R. Under normal circumstances, the power-consuming mechanism P can operate with power. At the same time, the temperature detection module T and the temperature detection module S respectively collect the leakage signal and the temperature signal in the circuit, and transmit them to the MCU module in real time. The MCU module processes the input signal through its internal operation unit. When a short circuit occurs and an arc extinguishing operation is required, the MCU module outputs a control signal to the relay K. The coil of the relay K controls its contacts to open. At this time, the relay K in the circuit changes from the normally closed state to the normally open state. The circuit extinguishes the arc through the RC circuit, thereby achieving the effect of protecting the power-consuming mechanism P.
[0032] This utility model can effectively reduce the occurrence of safety accidents such as fires and improve the safety of circuit systems. Compared with traditional circuit breakers, this patent has faster response speed and higher reliability. This patent is applicable to various circuit systems and has broad application prospects.
