Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a compact air-insulated switchgear for new energy transformer substations, which is applicable to the field of 10kV new energy transformer substation power generation. Background Technology
[0002] With the rapid development of the new energy industry, the capacity of wind and solar power transformer substations is gradually increasing, and the range of capacity selection is becoming wider, leading to more diverse requirements for the high-voltage side distribution equipment. In 10kV new energy transformer substation systems, the switch protection configurations used on the high-voltage side vary more depending on the substation capacity: load switch fuse combination electrical appliances with surge arresters, combined vacuum circuit breakers with current transformers and surge arresters, vacuum circuit breakers with isolating grounding switches, current transformers, surge arresters, etc. The corresponding switchgear types are also different, adding trouble to the later switchgear design and production process, and causing certain difficulties in assembling with the transformer substation, leading to a series of problems. In addition, the transformer substation market is becoming increasingly competitive, with the industry striving to reduce costs as much as possible while ensuring quality. In the past, there were various types of switchgear, usually double-cabinet and triple-cabinet styles, with large cabinet sizes and serious waste of internal space. The volume of the switchgear directly affects the overall volume of the transformer substation; the larger the switchgear, the larger the transformer substation enclosure, and the more serious the waste of space on the high-voltage side of the transformer substation. This increases the manufacturing cost of the transformer substation and indirectly affects the land area occupied at the project site. Utility Model Content
[0003] This utility model provides a compact air-insulated switchgear for 10kV new energy transformer substations, which has a compact and reasonable structural design, reduces space occupation, and lowers production costs.
[0004] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:
[0005] A compact air-insulated switchgear for new energy transformer substations includes a single cabinet. From top to bottom, the front of the cabinet has an instrument door, a circuit breaker compartment door, and a cable compartment door. Inside the cabinet, there are mounting beams for installing electrical components. A voltage transformer is installed at the top of the cabinet, and a 10kV circuit breaker is installed in the middle, with an insulating plate in the middle. A surge arrester is installed below the circuit breaker, and a current transformer is connected to the outgoing terminals of the circuit breaker. A copper busbar outlet is located on the upper right side of the cabinet for leading out copper busbars. The copper busbars are connected to the outgoing terminals of the circuit breaker inside the cabinet, and are supported by insulators outside the cabinet. Their lower ends are connected to the high-voltage bushings of the transformer. The circuit breaker compartment door has an operating hole, a live indicator, and an observation window. The cable compartment door has an electromagnetic lock and a counter. A copper busbar for cable mounting is reserved at the lower end of the cabinet interior.
[0006] The cabinet instrument door is also equipped with a temperature and humidity controller. The temperature and humidity sensor is located in the lower inner cavity of the cabinet and is connected to the temperature and humidity controller circuit. The lower inner cavity of the cabinet is also equipped with a dehumidifier and a heater, which are connected to the temperature and humidity controller circuit. When the cabinet temperature is too low, the heater is activated to raise the temperature. When the humidity is too high, the dehumidifier is activated to remove moisture.
[0007] Furthermore, the insulating plate is horizontally positioned between the inlet and outlet terminals of the circuit breaker to ensure the insulation effect of the circuit breaker.
[0008] Furthermore, both the circuit breaker compartment door and the cable compartment door are single doors. The cable compartment door is equipped with an observation window and lighting. A 10kV sensor II is installed at the incoming end of the circuit breaker and connected to an electromagnetic lock. A counter is connected to a surge arrester.
[0009] Furthermore, the circuit breaker compartment door is equipped with a live indicator, and a 10kV sensor I is installed on the right side of the cabinet near the copper busbar, which is connected to the live indicator circuit.
[0010] Furthermore, a copper busbar for cable mounting is provided at the bottom of the cabinet, which can be directly connected to the lower end of the circuit breaker to facilitate the connection of the on-site power collection line.
[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: Compared with traditional air-insulated switchgear, it optimizes dual or multiple cabinets into a single cabinet. Instrument doors, circuit breaker compartment doors, and cable compartment doors are installed from top to bottom at the front of the cabinet, clearly distinguishing the functions of each part while preventing operators from accidentally contacting internal live parts. Inside the cabinet, crossbeams are arranged according to the component configuration, with components mounted on each crossbeam. The internal electrical component structure is rationally laid out, small in size, simple in structure, and highly standardized, facilitating standardized production. The entire switchgear is installed on the high-voltage side of the transformer substation. A busbar is led out from the upper right side of the cabinet for connection to the transformer, and a copper busbar is reserved at the bottom for cable connection to the field power distribution lines. The single-cabinet switchgear significantly reduces the area of the high-voltage side of the transformer substation, lowering the manufacturing cost of the transformer substation and indirectly reducing the land area used on the project site.

Detailed Implementation
[0016] As attached Figure 1-3 The compact air-insulated switchgear for new energy transformers shown includes a single cabinet. From top to bottom, the front of the cabinet has an instrument door 1, a circuit breaker compartment door 2, and a cable compartment door 3. Inside the cabinet, a mounting beam 4 is installed for mounting electrical components. A voltage transformer 5 is installed at the top of the cabinet. A 10kV circuit breaker 7 is installed in the middle of the cabinet. Circuit breaker 7 is a combined circuit breaker with an insulating plate 15 in its middle. A surge arrester 8 is installed below the circuit breaker. A current transformer 6 is connected to the outgoing terminals of the circuit breaker. A copper busbar outlet is located on the upper right side of the cabinet, leading out a copper busbar 9. The copper busbar 9 is connected to the outgoing terminals of the circuit breaker inside the cabinet. Outside the cabinet, the copper busbar 9 is supported by an insulator 10, and its lower end is connected to the high-voltage bushing of the transformer. The circuit breaker compartment door has an operating hole 22, a live indicator 20, an observation window 16, and a lighting lamp 23. The cable compartment door 3 has an electromagnetic lock 18, a counter 19, and a lighting lamp 23.
[0017] The cabinet instrument door is also equipped with a temperature and humidity controller 13. The temperature and humidity sensor is located in the lower inner cavity of the cabinet. The lower inner cavity of the cabinet is also equipped with a dehumidifier and a heater. When the cabinet temperature is too low, the heater is activated to raise the temperature. When the humidity is too high, the dehumidifier is activated to dehumidify. An ammeter 12 is located on the right side of the instrument door.
[0018] The insulating plate is horizontally installed between the inlet and outlet ends of the circuit breaker to ensure the insulation effect of the circuit breaker. An insulator support 10 is provided at the inlet end of the circuit breaker.
[0019] The circuit breaker compartment door is equipped with a live indicator, and a 10kV sensor I11 is located on the right side of the cabinet near the copper busbar, which is connected to the live indicator circuit.
[0020] Both the circuit breaker compartment door and the cable compartment door are single doors. The cable compartment door is equipped with an observation window and lighting. A 10kV sensor II21 connected to an electromagnetic lock is installed at the inlet of the circuit breaker. The counter is connected to the surge arrester. A cable routing hole is provided at the bottom of the cabinet for easy cable entry.
[0021] This embodiment primarily utilizes 2.5mm thick cold-rolled steel plates, bent and assembled. Compared to previously used ZGN and other air-insulated switchgear, the cabinet has been improved from a double-cabinet type to a single-cabinet type, reducing the overall dimensions from (950mm+750mm)*1100mm*2300mm to 950mm*1050mm*2300mm (width*depth*height), significantly minimizing the cabinet volume. Furthermore, this cabinet design allows for the integration of all components, including 10kV circuit breakers, disconnect switches, current transformers, and voltage transformers, into the cabinet, reducing the path from the transformer through the internal components to the connecting cable busbars, thus lowering the busbar usage and reducing costs. The high-voltage switchgear is installed on the high-voltage side of the transformer substation. Its small size and reduced space occupation directly decrease the cabinet dimensions and substation costs, indirectly reducing the land area required for the project site and expanding the application range of this type of transformer substation. It is particularly suitable for rooftop locations such as factories and shopping malls.
[0022] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements can be made without departing from the principle of the present utility model. These improvements should also be considered within the scope of protection of the present utility model without creative effort.
