Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of power distribution technology, and in particular to an open-circuit protection circuit for current transformers used in primary and secondary split-type current protection equipment. Background Technology
[0002] The primary and secondary split-type current protection equipment includes devices such as the new type of intelligent low-voltage circuit breaker with a primary and secondary split structure as defined by the State Grid. This type of low-voltage intelligent circuit breaker integrates the primary unit (mainly consisting of mechanical, electrical, and necessary sensing components) and the secondary unit (mainly consisting of control, protection, and communication electronic circuits) into two separate housings. The primary and secondary units are assembled using a modular method, and the secondary unit can be independently plugged in and replaced. The communication module supports hot-swapping. When the secondary unit of the aforementioned low-voltage intelligent circuit breaker is replaced while energized, the current transformer in the main body will open-circuit, and the open-circuit voltage will reach over 200V. This high voltage can damage the secondary unit circuitry and may even pose a risk of personal injury to maintenance personnel. Currently, many current transformer open-circuit protection designs primarily employ structural short-circuit and electronic circuit control. The structural short-circuit method involves short-circuiting the secondary output section of the transformer with metal springs when the secondary component detaches from the structural springs or other mechanisms. This method is simple but slow to close, suffers from brief open circuits, and occupies significant space. The current mainstream circuit control principle uses thyristors to short-circuit the open circuit for protection. However, the thyristors can only close the open-circuit protection at zero crossing, resulting in low timing accuracy. Capacitors and Zener diodes are generally used to generate drive signals and start-up control thresholds. Capacitors have low accuracy and vary with environmental conditions, leading to low voltage accuracy in the open-circuit protection circuit's start-up control. Furthermore, adding capacitors to the circuit increases parasitic capacitance, affecting the measurement accuracy of the subsequent sampling circuit of the current transformer.
[0003] Patent application CN202120077281.6 discloses an open-circuit protection circuit for a current transformer, including the secondary coil of the current transformer and a bidirectional thyristor. The secondary coil of the current transformer is used to connect the T1 and G terminals of the bidirectional thyristor to trigger the circuit. The T1 and T2 terminals of the bidirectional thyristor are used to short-circuit the secondary coil of the current transformer. A capacitor is connected between the G terminal and the T2 terminal of the bidirectional thyristor. This solution draws power from the capacitor, which is related to the material properties of the capacitor itself and has a large degree of variability. This can lead to low control accuracy or voltage instability. Furthermore, the thyristor uses a zero-crossing dielectric, resulting in low control accuracy and failing to meet the requirements of high precision and high timeliness. Therefore, there is an urgent need to propose an open-circuit protection circuit for the current transformer in a separate primary and secondary current protection device to solve the technical problems of circuit damage and personal danger caused by the open circuit of the main current transformer during live replacement of existing separate primary and secondary current protection devices, as well as the low control accuracy and timeliness of the protection circuit.
