AI Technical Summary
In the event of an earthquake or other emergency, stress concentration can easily occur at the connection point between the grounding lead and the top grounding bushing of the transformer, leading to damage. Furthermore, the rigid connection between the lower grounding lead and the grounding grid can easily cause localized stress concentration, posing a risk of oil leakage.
Flexible connecting pieces and leads are used, including multi-layer soft copper strips, arched protrusions and fixed points, as well as soft copper stranded wires and reserved sections of soft connecting leads, to connect the top and bottom grounding copper busbars of the transformer to the ground grid, reducing stress concentration and supporting the online monitoring system to monitor the grounding current in real time.
It effectively prevents damage to grounding bushings, reduces the risk of transformer oil leakage, solves the problem of local stress concentration in grounding leads, and supports real-time current monitoring by online monitoring systems.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of transformer structure technology, specifically relating to a transformer grounding flexible lead system for reducing stress. Background Technology
[0002] To ensure the safe and reliable operation of power transformers and prevent stress buildup at the connection between the grounding lead and the top grounding bushing during transformer vibrations caused by sudden events such as earthquakes, which could damage the grounding bushing, leading to oil leaks or even water ingress and serious accidents, it is crucial to address these issues. Furthermore, at the connection between the lower grounding lead and the grounding grid, rigid connections can cause localized stress concentrations due to accumulated tolerances, making the grounding lead highly susceptible to deformation.
[0003] Based on the study of transformer structure and grounding lead system, a stress-reducing flexible grounding lead system for transformers is proposed, which can effectively avoid the stress concentration phenomenon of the above-mentioned grounding leads and protect the safety of the transformer grounding system. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a transformer grounding flexible lead system with a simple structure and reasonable design to reduce stress in order to solve the above problems.
[0005] This utility model achieves the above objectives through the following technical solutions:
[0006] A stress-reducing transformer grounding flexible lead system includes a grounding bushing and a grounding copper busbar installed at the top of the transformer, with a flexible connecting piece connecting the grounding bushing and the grounding copper busbar, and a flexible connecting lead connecting the grounding copper busbar located at the bottom of the transformer to the grounding grid.
[0007] As a further optimization of this utility model, the flexible connecting piece is a multi-layer flexible copper strip.
[0008] As a further optimization of this utility model, the surface of the flexible connecting piece is provided with at least one set of arched protrusions.
[0009] As a further optimization of this utility model, fixing points are provided on both sides of the arched protrusion of the flexible connecting piece.
[0010] As a further optimization of this utility model, the flexible connection lead is a flexible copper stranded wire.
[0011] As a further optimization of this utility model, the flexible connector lead is provided with a reserved section.
[0012] As a further optimization of this utility model, the flexible connecting lead includes an outer tube and an inner spiral wire body.
[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This utility model can ensure that the transformer grounding bushing will not be damaged by stress at the connection position between the grounding lead and the grounding bushing at the top of the transformer due to sudden situations such as earthquakes, which could lead to transformer oil leakage and further failures. In the lower part of the transformer, the use of flexible connection also solves the problem of local stress concentration caused by tolerance accumulation when the grounding lead is rigidly connected to the grounding grid. At the same time, it is also beneficial for the online monitoring system to monitor the grounding lead current in real time. Attached Figure Description

[0019] The present application will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that the following specific embodiments are only used to further illustrate the present application and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present application. Those skilled in the art can make some non-essential improvements and adjustments to the present application based on the above application content.
[0020] refer to Figures 1 to 3 The structure shown is a transformer grounding flexible lead system for reducing stress. The system includes a grounding bushing 1 and a grounding copper busbar 3 installed on the top of the transformer. A flexible connecting piece 2 is connected between the grounding bushing 1 and the grounding copper busbar 3. A flexible connecting lead 4 is connected between the grounding copper busbar 3 located at the bottom of the transformer and the grounding grid.
[0021] It should be noted that the flexible connector 2 and the flexible lead are conducive to the real-time monitoring of the grounding lead current by the online monitoring system. This system has a simple structure, is easy to manufacture, and is highly practical.
[0022] It should be further noted that the flexible connecting piece 2 is a multi-layered soft copper strip; the multi-layered soft copper strips are stacked together, which can deform to a certain extent, thereby achieving the purpose of flexible connection.
[0023] It should be further noted that the surface of the flexible connecting piece 2 is provided with at least one set of arched protrusions. The presence of at least one set allows for better deformation capability.
[0024] It should be further noted that fixing points are provided on both sides of the arched protrusion of the flexible connecting piece 2. By setting fixing points, the arch can be made more orderly, so that it can function when needed without having a significant impact on the surrounding environment.
[0025] It should be further noted that the flexible connecting lead 4 is a flexible copper stranded wire. The flexible connecting lead 4 has a reserved section. An online grounding lead cable monitoring system can also be installed at this section of the flexible copper stranded wire, which is beneficial for monitoring the grounding current.
[0026] This application ensures that the grounding bushing will not be damaged by stress at the connection point between the grounding lead and the grounding bushing at the top of the transformer due to sudden events such as earthquakes, which could lead to transformer oil leakage and further failures. In the lower part of the transformer, the use of flexible connection also solves the problem of local stress concentration caused by tolerance accumulation when the grounding lead is rigidly connected to the grounding grid. At the same time, it is also beneficial for the online monitoring system to monitor the grounding lead current in real time.
[0027] In an optional embodiment, such as Figure 4 As shown, the flexible connector lead 4 includes an outer tube and an inner spiral wire body. The outer tube is also made of copper wire wound together. This structure can prevent the adverse effects caused by the reserved section being too loose.
