[0003] Testing high-voltage switches and auxiliary switches is essential because it verifies the performance and reliability of the equipment. Through testing, it ensures that auxiliary switches function properly in actual operation, protecting high-voltage switches from damage.

[0033] Please see Figures 1 to 6 This utility model provides a technical solution:

[0034] A high-voltage switch auxiliary circuit test switching device is provided to support various tests of the high-voltage switch auxiliary circuit. The switching device includes a relay matrix, a power supply system, and a communication system.

[0035] Wiring nodes: used to connect to the auxiliary circuit branch of the switch under test and the relay matrix;

[0036] Relay matrix: consists of an array of 8 relay boards; each relay board contains 64 relays for auxiliary point switching at 8 locations;

[0037] Power supply system: It is a 24V power supply used to provide power for relay activation and communication.

[0038] Communication system: used to control the engagement and disengagement of relays to achieve automatic switching; the communication system is a communication control terminal interface, which serves as a standard control port for other control terminals to intervene in the control.

[0039] The following is a detailed introduction:

[0040] Switching device 1-64 output points (referred to as output points, K1-K64 in 2 and 5 in the figure): supports the access of up to 64 auxiliary contacts, which matches the maximum number of auxiliary circuit branches of mainstream high voltage switches (and auxiliary switches).

[0041] The relay matrix consists of 512 relays and a corresponding PCB matrix, and the connections between input and output points can be freely combined.

[0042] 24V power supply: such as Figure 4 As shown, it is composed of a voltage regulator chip and a filter circuit to supply power to the relay output and communication control.

[0043] Switching device 1-8 input points (hereinafter referred to as input points): Signal detection units that can be freely connected according to the test requirements to complete the test of the auxiliary circuit.

[0044] In this invention, the switch to be tested is a high-voltage switch or an auxiliary switch.

[0045] like Figure 2 As shown, the input points include IN1-IN8, and the output points include OUT1-OUT8. A relay array consisting of 8 relay boards forms one switching device; the 8 IN input points total 64 OUT output points; the input points IN1-IN8 of the 8 relay boards are all connected, so there are only 8 input points in total, but each relay board has 8 output points OUT1-OUT8, corresponding to 64 output points.

[0046] The device includes output points: supporting up to 64 auxiliary contact connections, matching the maximum number of auxiliary circuit branches in mainstream high-voltage switches. The PCB matrix uses pluggable terminals for easy wiring and replacement, with 8 wires per terminal to prevent visual fatigue from excessive wiring.

[0047] Relay Matrix: Internally composed of 512 relays and corresponding PCB matrix, the connection between input and output points can be freely combined; the relays adopt the parallel connection of two 8A relay coils. When a certain control point is activated, the two relays are activated at the same time, which can achieve the purpose of current shunting, thereby reducing the overcurrent of the relays and shortening their lifespan. When one relay fails, the other relay can still maintain normal operation, reducing the failure rate of the equipment.

[0048] Specifically, two 8A relay coils are connected in parallel by connecting to the 2EDGKM-5.08-8PZ straight pin plug-in terminal.

[0049] 24V power supply: Composed of a voltage regulator chip and a filter circuit, used to supply power to the relay output and communication control.

[0050] Output point: Other devices or modules can be freely connected as needed for the experiment (i.e., ... Figure 1 The signal detection unit is used to complete the test of the auxiliary circuit.

[0051] Figure 2 The figures shown correspond to input points 1-8. Figure 3 As shown, 1-128 correspond to 64 output points connected in parallel from the relay (equipped with a PCB matrix), thus achieving a free combination of 64 points to 8 pins.

[0052] The detection data of the auxiliary contacts of the high-voltage switch auxiliary circuit using the switching device of this utility model are described in Table 1 below:

[0053] Bit address definition Data Description 0000H D01 Relay output for channel 1: =1 indicates activation, =0 indicates deactivation. 0001H D02 Second relay output: =1 for activation, =00 for deactivation. 0002H D03 3rd relay output: =1 is activated, =00 is deactivated. … … … 003FH D064 Output of relay channel 64: =1 for activation, =0 for deactivation.

[0054] Table 1

[0055] The product's functions and uses are illustrated using two tests of the auxiliary circuit as examples.

[0056] High-voltage switch auxiliary circuit auxiliary contact detection:

[0057] The status of the main contacts of a high-voltage switch can be detected by checking the corresponding contacts in the auxiliary circuit. Various tests involve detecting the continuity of auxiliary contacts, but the positions and states of these contacts vary between different switches. Therefore, different signal lines are typically connected to a signal detection unit for testing. For example, when auxiliary signal lines 1 and 2 of a high-voltage switch are connected, the switch is in the closed state; when lines 3 and 4 are connected, the switch is in the energy storage state. During testing, 24V is typically applied to line 1, and a voltage sensor is connected to line 2. If voltage is detected at line 2, the switch is considered closed. Similarly, 24V is applied to line 3, and a signal sensor is connected to line 4. If 24V is detected, the switch is in the energy storage state. This process requires continuous line switching for testing. However, if… Figure 3 As shown, all auxiliary lines of high-voltage switches 1-64 are connected to the switching device. Line output terminal 1 is connected to 24V, and terminal 2 is connected to signal acquisition. At this point, by controlling contactor 1 to connect to output terminal 1 and contactor 2 to connect to the output terminal via 485 communication, the signal status can be measured. Then, by controlling input 3 to connect to output 1 and input 4 to connect to output 2, the second pair of signals can be measured. Since it is a standard MODBUS control, this type of procedure can be completed by existing programs, achieving rapid switching without complex manual programming. The device greatly shortens the connection and switching time and significantly improves detection efficiency. Generally, high-voltage switches often have a dozen or so auxiliary contacts and twenty or so wires; this can save more than half an hour of time.

[0058] Taking the operation test of a high-voltage switch as an example:

[0059] The operation test of a high-voltage switch requires energizing the corresponding auxiliary circuit to achieve electric control. 04 and 14 are the closing coils, 30 and 31 are the opening coils, and 25 and 35 are the energy storage coils. A complete energizing operation involves first energizing both ends of the energy storage coil; then energizing the closing coil; and finally energizing the opening coil after closing to achieve a normal operation. This wiring definition typically differs for different switches, and the entire operation cycle needs to be repeated thousands of times. Existing control methods often use PLCs, but this requires switching the circuit each time. After connecting this switching device, the output points remain the same, connected in the order of 1-64. Input points 1-6 are connected to the corresponding test power supplies for closing, opening, and energy storage, respectively. The mechanical break-in operation of the circuit breaker can be completed by sending cyclic commands through a standard MODBUS communication tool.
