Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of instrument transformer technology in power equipment, specifically to an integrated bushing type electronic current and voltage combined instrument transformer. Background Technology
[0002] Ring main units are indispensable key power distribution equipment in modern urban power distribution networks, industrial parks, commercial centers, large buildings, infrastructure (such as airports, train stations, and hospitals), residential communities, and renewable energy power plants (such as wind farms and photovoltaic power stations) and their substations. They have advantages such as high reliability, compact structure, and high degree of modularity, and are widely used in power grids.
[0003] However, the internal space of ring main units is usually extremely limited, and they generally adopt a fully insulated and sealed structure. This characteristic makes it very difficult to directly install traditional electromagnetic voltage transformers (PTs), current transformers (CTs), or large electronic transformers (such as electronic current transformers ECTs plus electronic voltage transformers EVTs) inside the cabinet. With the deepening of the automation transformation of distribution networks, the number of secondary equipment that needs to be integrated into ring main units has increased significantly, and the demand for current and voltage signal acquisition, measurement, monitoring, and protection functions is becoming increasingly prominent.
[0004] The main problems with existing technologies are:
[0005] Limited installation space and structural conflicts: The small, fully insulated structure of the ring main unit cannot accommodate large traditional instrument transformers or combined electronic instrument transformers.
[0006] High retrofit costs: To meet automation requirements, dedicated PTs and CTs are typically needed, which not only incur high equipment costs but also occupy valuable cabinet space. Retrofitting existing ring main units is even more challenging, complex, and extremely costly. Utility Model Content
[0007] To address the aforementioned problems, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an integrated bushing-type electronic current and voltage combined transformer to solve the problems of traditional transformers occupying a large space and being unable to fit into compact cabinets.

[0018] The front and rear ends of the epoxy resin shell are conical and cylindrical, respectively. The cylindrical part can pass through the ring main unit mounting hole. The insulating encapsulation structure has a flange plate near the cylindrical part, and the flange plate extends radially to form the terminal block.
[0019] The flange plate has a sealing groove along its circumferential direction on its mounting surface for fitting a sealing ring.

[0037] See Figures 1 to 8 As shown, this utility model provides an integrated bushing-type electronic current and voltage combined transformer, including an insulating encapsulation structure and a conductive rod 5, a current measurement module, a voltage measurement module, and a capacitance monitoring module encapsulated within the insulating encapsulation structure. The insulating encapsulation structure is an epoxy resin shell 1 cast into a sleeve shape by epoxy resin, with a terminal block on the side. The conductive rod 5 axially penetrates the insulating encapsulation structure and has both ends exposed. The capacitance monitoring module includes capacitance terminals 14 and a cylindrical capacitance sensing mesh 6. The capacitance sensing mesh 6 is fitted onto the outside of the conductive rod 5, and the capacitance terminals 14 are disposed on the terminal block. The current measurement module includes a current-shielded twisted pair 12 and a ring-shaped coil body, which is fitted onto the outside of the conductive rod 5.

The high-voltage end of the primary ceramic capacitor 10 is fixedly connected to the outside of the conductive rod 5. The secondary capacitor 11 is placed inside the terminal block and connected in series with the primary ceramic capacitor 10. The voltage-shielded twisted pair 13 is placed on the terminal block and connected to the secondary capacitor 11.
[0038] In this embodiment of the invention, the conductive rod 5 is a rod-shaped metal conductor that passes through the central axis of the current transformer. Both ends of the conductive rod 5 have threaded holes. The two ends of the conductive rod 5 serve as the inflow and outflow terminals of the current transformer, namely terminals P1 and P2, respectively. (See [reference]). Figure 5 As shown.
[0039] See Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment of the present invention, the capacitive sensing network 6, the coil body, and the primary ceramic capacitor 10 are arranged coaxially along the axial direction. The space between the coil body and the conductive rod 5 is filled with epoxy resin for insulation. The coil body includes a toroidal iron core 7, a secondary winding 8, and a sampling resistor 9. The secondary winding 8 is uniformly wound on the toroidal iron core 7, and the sampling resistor 9 is connected in parallel between the two ends of the secondary winding 8. The two ends of the secondary winding 8 are connected to a current-shielded twisted pair 12.
[0040] Furthermore, the toroidal core 7 has a toroidal structure and is made of silicon steel sheets or amorphous alloy high-permeability materials. The secondary winding 8 is an insulated enameled wire winding with an insulating varnish layer on the surface of the enameled wire, forming insulation between each turn. The uniform winding of the enameled wire ensures a uniform magnetic field distribution in the secondary winding 8. The two ends of the enameled wire extend out of the secondary winding 8 as S1 and S2 terminals, respectively. A high-precision sampling resistor 9 is connected in parallel between the S1 and S2 terminals, and the current signal is output through a current-shielded twisted pair 12. (See [reference]). Figure 5 As shown.
[0041] Specifically, the current-shielded twisted pair 12 is a two-core shielded cable, with the two cores twisted together to form a twisted pair. The twisted pair is further protected by a metal braided mesh shielding layer. The two ends of the secondary winding 8 are connected to the two cores at one end of the current-shielded twisted pair 12. The shielding layer of the current-shielded twisted pair 12 is connected to the grounding terminal 15 via the current shielding wire 16. The grounding terminal 15 is located on a terminal block. Current signals are transmitted through the current-shielded twisted pair 12. (See [reference]). Figure 7 As shown.
[0042] In this embodiment of the invention, the high-voltage end of the primary ceramic capacitor 10 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the conductive rod 5, forming the high-voltage arm of the capacitor voltage divider circuit. The secondary capacitor 11 is connected in series with the primary ceramic capacitor 10, forming the low-voltage arm of the capacitor voltage divider circuit, used to output a secondary voltage signal. The signal is output through the voltage-shielded twisted pair cable 13. (See [reference]). Figure 6 As shown.
[0043] Specifically, the voltage-shielded twisted pair cable 13 is a two-core shielded cable, with the two cores twisted together to form a twisted pair. The twisted pair is further protected by a metal braided mesh shielding layer. The two ends of the secondary capacitor 11 are connected to the two cores at one end of the voltage-shielded twisted pair cable 13. The shielding layer of the voltage-shielded twisted pair cable 13 is connected to the grounding terminal 15 via the voltage shielding wire 17. (See [reference]). Figure 8 As shown.
[0044] In this embodiment of the invention, the capacitive sensing mesh 6 is a metal mesh structure, and a wire is led out from the capacitive sensing mesh 6 and connected to the capacitor terminal 14. An epoxy resin dielectric is filled between the capacitive sensing mesh 6 and the conductive rod 5 to form a monitoring capacitor. The capacitor terminal 14 is used to output a capacitance signal reflecting the dielectric state of the epoxy resin. Specifically, the outer wall of the conductive rod 5 and the inner wall of the capacitive sensing mesh 6 form two parallel capacitor plates, with an epoxy resin dielectric between the two plates, constituting a capacitor that monitors the state of the epoxy resin insulating dielectric. The signal of this capacitor can be measured at the capacitor terminal 14.
[0045] See Figure 3 As shown in the embodiment of this utility model, the epoxy resin shell 1 is integrally cured and molded from epoxy resin insulating material, encapsulating and fixing the conductive rod 5, current measurement module, voltage measurement module, and capacitance monitoring module to form a fully sealed, maintenance-free integrated structure. During the curing process, reliable insulation between electrical components and between components and the shell is ensured. Specifically, the front and rear ends of the epoxy resin shell 1 are a cone 101 and a quasi-cylinder 103, respectively. The quasi-cylinder 103 can pass through the ring main unit mounting hole. A flange plate 102 is provided on the insulating encapsulation structure near the quasi-cylinder 103. The flange plate 102 extends radially to form a terminal block. The cone 101 is an outer cone conforming to standard dimensions and can be connected to a standard equipment cone sleeve.
[0046] Furthermore, the mounting surface of the flange plate 102 is provided with a sealing groove 4 along the circumference for embedding a sealing ring. The mounting surface of the flange plate 102 is fixed and sealed to the equipment panel. The near-cylinder 103 is a regular, approximately cylindrical shape, which facilitates installation through the mounting holes on the switchgear.
[0047] The working principle of the integrated bushing-type electronic current and voltage combined transformer provided by this utility model is as follows:
[0048] Current Measurement: Based on the principle of Low Power Current Coil (LPCT), a primary current is induced in the toroidal core 7, which in turn induces a secondary small current in the secondary winding 8. This secondary current is then converted into a low-voltage small signal through a sampling resistor 9 (R in the diagram) connected in parallel across the secondary winding 8, resulting in a voltage signal as the secondary output. The phase of this voltage signal is consistent with that of the primary current, and its amplitude is proportional to the amplitude of the primary current. The secondary signal is output through a current-shielded twisted pair cable 12, providing strong anti-interference capabilities and high product accuracy. (See also...) Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown.
[0049] Voltage Measurement: Based on the principle of capacitive voltage division, a primary ceramic capacitor 10 is fixed on the conductive rod 5 to form a high-voltage arm. The primary voltage is divided into a lower intermediate voltage by the primary ceramic capacitor 10. A secondary capacitor is connected in series with the secondary terminals of the primary ceramic capacitor 10 to form a low-voltage arm. Voltage is divided across the secondary capacitor, and the voltage is converted into a standard secondary voltage output by the secondary capacitor 11. Specifically, the output is via a voltage-shielded twisted-pair cable 13, providing strong anti-interference capabilities and high product accuracy. (See [reference]). Figure 6 and Figure 8 As shown.
[0050] Capacitance monitoring: A cylindrical capacitance sensing network 6 is arranged coaxially around the conductive rod 5. The capacitance sensing network 6 and the conductive rod 5 together form a monitoring capacitor, which is used to sense and output the capacitance value that reflects the state of the insulating medium.
[0051] All modules are encapsulated in an epoxy resin shell 1 through epoxy resin, forming a fully sealed, maintenance-free integrated structure. This integrates the current and voltage transformers, making installation easier and taking up less space. The internal components are arranged in an orderly manner to avoid electromagnetic interference, and the output voltage signal is small and does not interfere with each other, resulting in superior performance.
[0052] This utility model integrates current measurement, voltage measurement, and capacitor status monitoring functions into one compact structure. It can directly replace the standard bushings in equipment such as ring main units for installation. It is particularly suitable for the automation transformation of compact ring main units with limited space, and solves the problems of difficult installation and high cost of traditional current transformers.
[0053] Obviously, those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope. Therefore, if these modifications and variations fall within the scope of the claims of this utility model and their equivalents, this utility model also intends to include these modifications and variations.
