Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of optical communication technology, and in particular to a complete set of insulation and grounding devices for the downlead section of a substation. Background Technology

[0002] The down conductor of the fiber optic composite overhead ground wire (OPGW) at the station was eroded and broken due to lightning and induced electricity, causing communication service interruption and seriously affecting the safety and normal operation of the communication system and the power grid.

[0003] Article 6.3 of DL / T 1378-2014, "Technical Guidelines for Lightning Protection and Grounding of Fiber Optic Composite Overhead Ground Wire (OPGW)," stipulates that the grounding of OPGW entering the site should adopt a reliable grounding method, and at least one point of the OPGW leading down from the structure should be grounded. In addition to the grounding point, a distance of not less than 20mm should be maintained between the OPGW body and the structure. The OPGW leading down should be fixed with insulated clamps, and the excess cable rack and junction box should also be insulated from the structure. However, there are no further specifications regarding the insulation process of the OPGW leading down cable.

[0004] The existing OPGW entry scheme has the following disadvantages: (1) The optical cable is easily scratched and burned by discharge at the frame platform. (2) Discharge burns occur between the surplus cable rack and the reserved cable, and the inter-cable erosion is obvious. (3) The aging of the insulation rubber causes the OPGW to loosen. (4) The insulation of the down-lead cable is unreliable, and its insulation distance is too close. Utility Model Content

[0018] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of this application can be combined with each other. The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0019] In this embodiment of the invention, directional indicators (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.) are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement of the components in a specific posture (as shown in the attached figure). If the specific posture changes, the directional indicators will also change accordingly.

[0020] Furthermore, in this utility model, descriptions involving "first," "second," etc., are for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, a feature defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of those features.

[0021] Please refer to Figures 1-3 The complete set of insulation and grounding device for the substation lead-down section in this embodiment of the utility model includes OPGW optical cable, guide optical cable, junction box, surplus cable rack, composite insulator, clamp assembly, and grounding wire.

[0022] The excess cable rack is mounted on the clamp assembly via composite insulators. A junction box is located on the excess cable rack. The upper ends of the OPGW optical cable and the guide optical cable are connected through the junction box. The upper end of the grounding wire is connected to the OPGW optical cable and the guide optical cable. The grounding wire is typically crimped in the field.

[0023] In one implementation, the clamp assembly consists of an upper clamp, a lower clamp, and frame angle steel mounted on the upper and lower clamps. Several composite insulators are mounted on the frame angle steel. The composite insulators have sufficient safety distance, and the insulation distance is stable and consistent; moreover, the structure is robust, will not age, break, or loosen, and can be used safely and reliably for a long period.

[0024] In one implementation, the angle of the frame angle steel is adjustable. One end of the frame angle steel is connected to the lower clamp via a pivot, and the upper clamp is provided with several adjusting bolt holes. The other end of the frame angle steel is provided with adjusting holes corresponding to the adjusting bolt holes, and the other end of the frame angle steel is connected to the upper clamp via adjusting bolts.

[0025] The upper and lower clamps are installed on the frame (the frame is usually a cement column). The frame angle steel can be adjusted according to the frame angle to make the cable rack perpendicular to the ground.

[0026] The cable trays and frame angle steel are preferably made of galvanized steel, which ensures a stable and robust structure and a long service life. The upper and lower clamps are preferably made of hot-dip galvanized flat steel.

[0027] In one implementation, the complete insulation and grounding device for the substation's downlead section also includes a grounding switch mounted on the slack cable rack via composite insulators. The upper end of the grounding wire is connected to the OPGW optical cable via the grounding switch. The lower end of the grounding wire is connected to the grounding device or reliably electrically connected to the substation's internal grid.

[0028] During normal operation, the grounding switch is closed, ensuring reliable grounding of the optical cable. When it is necessary to measure the grounding resistance within the station, the grounding switch is opened, making the operation of measuring the grounding resistance within the station very convenient.

[0029] In one implementation, the slack cable rack is provided with several slack cable forks, and the OPGW optical cable and guide optical cable are coiled on the slack cable forks.

[0030] As one implementation method, the complete insulation and grounding device for the substation's downlead section also includes several downlead clamps for fixing the OPGW optical cable. The downlead clamps are installed on the frame using elbow clamps. By fixing the downlead clamps, the distance between the optical cable and the edges of flanges or crossbeam platforms is ensured to be no less than 100mm, completely solving the problem of cable burnt strands in this area. The downlead clamps preferably use 10kV post-type composite insulators.

[0031] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
