[0030] With the global emphasis on clean energy and the transformation of the energy structure, the market demand for photovoltaic power generation continues to grow. Existing photovoltaic transformer substations typically adopt a triangular or L-shaped layout. The high voltage uses an integrated combination switch, and the low voltage frame circuit breaker is connected to the transformer on the upper side and to the inverter via a molded case circuit breaker 223 on the lower side. Because the photovoltaic capacity is generally 3600KVA and below, the transformer tank is short, and the internal layout is unreasonable, resulting in a large distance between the low voltage bushing and the upper opening of the frame circuit breaker. This requires the installation of a lower copper busbar, and because the copper busbar requires insulation space, the area of the low voltage compartment increases, leading to higher costs.
[0031] This utility model proposes a photovoltaic box transformer 100.
[0032] Please see Figures 1 to 3In one embodiment of this utility model, the photovoltaic transformer substation 100 includes a high-voltage chamber 1, a low-voltage chamber 2, a transformer 3, a combined electrical appliance 11, a low-voltage cabinet 21, and a low-voltage unit 22. The high-voltage chamber 1 and the low-voltage chamber 2 are located on adjacent sides of the transformer 3, with the low-voltage bushing 31 of the transformer 3 facing the low-voltage chamber 2, and the side of the low-voltage chamber 2 facing the transformer 3 being the connection side 23. The combined electrical appliance 11 is housed in the high-voltage chamber 1 and is connected to the high-voltage bushing of the transformer 3. The low-voltage cabinet 21 is located in the low-voltage chamber 2, and a support frame 211 is provided inside the low-voltage cabinet 21. The low-voltage unit 22 is housed in the low-voltage chamber 1. Inside room 2, the low-voltage unit 22 includes a frame circuit breaker 221 installed in the low-voltage cabinet 21. The frame circuit breaker 221 has an upper terminal 2211 and a lower terminal 2212 located below the upper terminal 2211. The frame circuit breaker 221 is installed on the top of the support frame 211. The connection side 23 and the low-voltage cabinet 21 are provided with wire passage holes for the soft copper busbar 24 to pass through at the position corresponding to the lower terminal 2212. The lower terminal 2212 is at the same height as the low-voltage bushing 31 of the transformer 3, and the low-voltage bushing 31 and the lower terminal 2212 are connected by the soft copper busbar 24.
[0033] The photovoltaic box transformer 100 of this utility model can stabilize the frame circuit breaker 221 by setting a support frame 211 in the low-voltage cabinet 21 and placing the frame circuit breaker 221 on the support frame 211. In addition, by placing the lower terminal 2212 of the frame circuit breaker 221 at the same height as the low-voltage bushing 31 of the transformer 3, the soft copper busbar 24 connecting the lower terminal 2212 and the low-voltage bushing 31 can be close to a straight line, thereby reducing the amount of soft copper busbar 24 used and eliminating the need for additional lower lead copper busbars, reducing costs and saving internal space in the low-voltage cabinet 21, and making the layout more reasonable.
[0034] It should be noted that, in Figure 1 From the top view, the high-voltage panel and low-voltage panel of transformer 3 are arranged in an L-shape on adjacent sides of transformer 3. The high-voltage panel is connected to the high-voltage chamber 1, and the low-voltage panel is connected to the low-voltage chamber 2. At the same time, it can also be seen that transformer 3 and low-voltage chamber 2 are located on the same side of high-voltage chamber 1.
[0035] Specifically, transformer 3 adopts the oil-immersed transformer of the prior art. The heat sink of transformer 3 is exposed and located on the side away from low-voltage chamber 2, which is conducive to heat dissipation of transformer 3 and does not affect low-voltage chamber 2.
[0036] In this embodiment, the combined electrical appliance 11 includes a high-voltage vacuum circuit breaker, a grounding switch, and a disconnecting switch combined into one appliance. In addition, the combined electrical appliance 11 also includes a high-voltage current transformer, a high-voltage surge arrester, and a high-voltage current transformer as described in the prior art, which will not be elaborated here.
[0037] In one embodiment, the side of the low-voltage switchgear 21 facing the connection side 23 is the mating side 212, and the connection side 23 is mated to the mating side 212. By mating the mating side 212 and the connection side 23, the distance between the low-voltage switchgear 21 and the connection side 23 is reduced, making the low-voltage switchgear 21 closer to the transformer 3, further reducing the amount of soft copper busbar 24 used and saving costs.
[0038] In one embodiment, a busbar 222 is provided inside the low-voltage switchgear 21, and the low-voltage unit 22 also includes multiple molded case circuit breakers 223. The multiple molded case circuit breakers 223 are all connected to the busbar 222, and the upper terminal block 2211 is connected to the busbar 222. The low-voltage switchgear 21 has a first installation space 213 and a second installation space 214 arranged adjacent to each other. The support frame 211 and the frame circuit breaker 221 are arranged in the first installation space 213, and the molded case circuit breaker 223 are arranged in the second installation space 214. The busbar 222 spans the first installation space 213 and the second installation space 214. The frame circuit breaker 221 and the molded case circuit breaker 223 are both located below the busbar 222, and the busbar 222 is arranged close to the mating side 212.
[0039] Understandably, the low-voltage switchgear 21 is divided into a first installation space 213 and a second installation space 214, which are arranged adjacently. The frame circuit breaker 221 and the molded case circuit breaker 223 are respectively installed in the first installation space 213 and the second installation space 214. The structural arrangement is reasonable and avoids mutual interference. In addition, the busbar 222 is set above the frame circuit breaker 221 and the molded case circuit breaker 223 to improve the convenience of installing cables or busbars. It also facilitates the connection of the upper terminals 2211 of the busbar 222 and the molded case circuit breaker 223, making the arrangement more reasonable.
[0040] Specifically, the busbar 222 is set horizontally in a straight line to reduce the amount used and save costs.
[0041] In one embodiment, two installation areas are arranged vertically at intervals within the second installation space 214. Multiple molded case circuit breakers 223 are installed in each of the two installation areas. The molded case circuit breaker 223 located in one installation area is a first molded case circuit breaker 223a, and the molded case circuit breaker 223 located in the other installation area is a second molded case circuit breaker 223b. The first molded case circuit breaker 223a is located above the second molded case circuit breaker 223b. The multiple first molded case circuit breakers 223a and the multiple second molded case circuit breakers 223b are distributed horizontally at intervals.
[0042] Understandably, the second installation space 214 is provided with two installation areas, each of which is provided with multiple molded case circuit breakers 223. The multiple molded case circuit breakers 223 corresponding to each installation area are distributed at intervals along the horizontal direction, which can be regarded as two rows of molded case circuit breakers 223, so as to make reasonable use of the second installation space 214 and make the component arrangement inside the low voltage cabinet 21 more compact and reasonable.
[0043] In one embodiment, the first molded case circuit breaker 223a and the second molded case circuit breaker 223b are vertically staggered, wherein the first molded case circuit breaker 223a is disposed near the mating side 212 and the second molded case circuit breaker 223b is disposed near the connecting side 23.
[0044] Understandably, the first molded case circuit breaker 223a and the second molded case circuit breaker 223b are vertically staggered to... Figure 3 Taking a certain perspective as an example, the first molded case circuit breaker 223a in the upper row is positioned forward, and the second molded case circuit breaker 223b in the lower row is positioned backward. Furthermore, there is a gap between the first molded case circuit breaker 223a and the second molded case circuit breaker 223b, which facilitates the splicing of edge cables.
[0045] Specifically, in one embodiment, the distance between the first molded case circuit breaker 223a and the second molded case circuit breaker 223b is greater than or equal to 150mm. The upper row of first molded case circuit breakers 223a are all connected to the busbar using copper busbars, while the lower row of second molded case circuit breakers 223b are connected to the busbar using YJV cables.
[0046] In one embodiment, there is a gap 26 between two adjacent first molded case circuit breakers 223a, and each second molded case circuit breaker 223b is respectively provided corresponding to one of the gaps 26.
[0047] Understandably, such as Figure 3 As shown, the second molded case circuit breaker 223b in the lower row is set in the gap 26 between two adjacent first molded case circuit breakers 223a in the upper row, so that the YJV cable connecting the second molded case circuit breaker 223b and the busbar 222 can pass through the gap 26. At most one first molded case circuit breaker 223a can be set in each gap 26. The number of first molded case circuit breakers 223a and second molded case circuit breakers 223b can be adjusted according to actual needs.
[0048] Specifically, in one embodiment, the spacing between two adjacent molded case circuit breakers 223 in each installation area is greater than or equal to 70 mm to provide sufficient insulation space for easy cable arrangement.
[0049] In one embodiment, the upper terminal 2211 of the frame circuit breaker 221 is connected to the busbar 222 via a flip-up bar 224. The low-voltage unit 22 also includes a low-voltage current transformer 225, which is mounted on the flip-up bar 224. The structure is reasonably arranged, and the internal space of the low-voltage cabinet 21 is rationally planned. The upper terminal 2211 is located near the top of the frame circuit breaker 221, which reduces the difficulty of arranging the flip-up bar 224, reduces the number of flip-up bars used, and saves costs.
[0050] In one embodiment, both the flip-up busbar 224 and the busbar 222 are covered with transparent covers. These transparent covers provide protection and ensure the safety of personnel; the transparent covers can be made of PC board.
[0051] In one embodiment, the low-voltage unit 22 further includes a UPS power supply 226 and an auxiliary transformer 227. The UPS power supply 226 is disposed within the first installation space 213 and located below the support frame 211. The auxiliary transformer 227 is disposed outside the low-voltage cabinet 21 and located on the side of the first installation space 213 away from the second installation space 214.
[0052] Understandably, by placing the UPS power supply 226 below the support frame 211, the space below the support frame 211 is utilized in a reasonable manner, reducing the additional space occupied by the low-voltage room 2, thereby facilitating the reduction of the area / volume of the low-voltage room 2 and making the layout plan reasonable. The auxiliary transformer 227 is placed outside the low-voltage cabinet 21 to avoid the auxiliary transformer 227 interfering with the operation of the internal components of the low-voltage cabinet 21.
[0053] In one embodiment, an air inlet is provided on the side of the low-pressure chamber 2 away from the transformer 3, and an exhaust fan 25 is provided on the side of the low-pressure chamber 2 away from the high-pressure chamber 1 to draw the gas in the low-pressure chamber 2 out of the low-pressure chamber 2.
[0054] Understandably, by providing an air inlet to the low-pressure chamber 2 and an exhaust fan 25 on one side of the low-pressure chamber 2, the gas in the low-pressure chamber 2 can be circulated, heat dissipation can be achieved, and the temperature balance in the low-pressure chamber 2 can be ensured.
[0055] Specifically, the low-voltage cabinet 21 is also provided with ventilation openings. When the exhaust fan 25 exhausts air, some of the gas passes through the low-voltage cabinet 21 and can carry away the temperature generated by the low-voltage unit 22 in the low-voltage cabinet 21 during operation, thereby achieving cooling and ensuring that the low-voltage unit 22 in the low-voltage cabinet 21 operates normally and has good reliability.
[0056] The above description is merely an exemplary embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the patent scope of the present utility model. Any equivalent structural transformations made based on the technical concept of the present utility model and the contents of the present utility model specification and drawings, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
