Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of circuit breaker opening and closing current monitoring technology, and in particular to an online circuit breaker opening and closing current monitoring system for permanent magnet circuit breakers. Background Technology

[0002] With the widespread use of permanent magnet mechanism coil circuit breakers, malfunctions and burnouts of the permanent magnet mechanism coil circuit drive modules are becoming increasingly common, highlighting the lack of an effective online monitoring method for the current in the permanent magnet drive circuit. Currently, current monitoring of the mechanism's opening and closing coils mainly relies on traditional current transformers. However, because the current is in a steady state, this method has significant errors when used for monitoring the current loop of pulse-type permanent magnet mechanism coils, and the CTs are prone to saturation, affecting accuracy. With the introduction of the State Grid's deep integration technology for primary and secondary circuits, higher requirements are placed on the energy storage of the operating mechanism and the current and voltage recording of the opening and closing circuits.

[0003] Introduction to the Hall effect:

[0004] When a current-carrying semiconductor material (usually made into a thin semiconductor wafer) is placed in a magnetic field, with the direction of the magnetic field making a 90° angle with the direction of the current (for optimal Hall effect), the charge carriers in the conductor will be deflected due to the Lorentz force, generating a voltage difference across the semiconductor wafer. Under the influence of the electric and magnetic fields, the movement of the charge carriers reaches an equilibrium state. This process is the generation of the Hall effect, and the resulting voltage is called the Hall potential, Vh.

[0005]

[0006] In the formula, I is the current passing through the Hall element; B is the magnetic flux density perpendicular to the Hall element; and Kh is the Hall material sensitivity coefficient. Kh = Rh / d × f(L / b), where Rh is the Hall coefficient; L, b, and d are the length, width, and height of the Hall element; and f(L / b) is the correction coefficient.

[0007] Therefore, we propose an online opening and closing current monitoring system for permanent magnet circuit breakers. Utility Model Content

[0024] The principle and structure of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments:

[0025] refer to Figure 1-3 An online opening and closing current monitoring system for a permanent magnet mechanism coil circuit breaker includes a permanent magnet mechanism coil circuit and a monitoring unit.

[0026] The permanent magnet mechanism coil circuit includes a capacitor C, an IGBT switch T, a diode D, an inductor L, and a resistor R. The inductor L and the resistor R are connected in series and then coupled to the positive terminal of the capacitor via the IGBT switch T. The capacitor C and the IGBT switch T are connected in series and then connected in parallel with the diode D.

[0027] The monitoring unit includes a Hall current sensor, an amplifier U2, and a voltage follower U3. The positive terminal of the input of the amplifier U2 is coupled to the pin M of the Hall sensor via a resistor R1. The pin M of the Hall sensor is grounded via resistors R1 and R2. The negative terminal of the input of the amplifier U2 is coupled to the positive terminal of the input of the voltage follower U3 via a resistor R3. The output of the voltage follower U3 is coupled to a digital-to-analog converter U4 via a resistor R4. The signal output of the digital-to-analog converter U4 is coupled to an ADC sampler U5.

[0028] In this circuit, R1 and R2 are voltage divider resistors, U2 is a proportional operational amplifier, U3 is a voltage follower, R4 and C1 form a passive filter circuit, U4 is an analog-to-digital converter, and U5 is an AD sampling unit on the core board.

[0029] The permanent magnet mechanism coil circuit passes through the closed-loop Hall current sensor U1, which will induce a small voltage signal output according to the Hall effect. After passing through the voltage divider resistor, it goes to the amplifier U2 for signal amplification. The voltage follower U3 provides voltage follower isolation. After passing through the low-pass filter composed of R4 & C1, it is input to the analog-to-digital converter U4. Finally, it passes through the high-speed sampling U5 and is quantized to restore the coil current waveform.

[0030] The Hall sensor is connected to a 12V DC voltage source, the resistor R4 is grounded through the capacitor C1, the amplifier U2 and the voltage follower U3 are both connected to a 3.3V voltage source, the Hall current sensor U1 is grounded through pin G, C is the driving capacitor of the permanent magnet mechanism coil circuit, T is the high-speed IGBT switching device, D is the freewheeling diode, and L&R is the coil of the permanent magnet mechanism coil circuit after the abstract model. This method is used to monitor the i(t) waveform during the period from when the T switching device is turned on to when it is turned off (generally 50ms).

[0031] The permanent magnet mechanism coil circuit passes through a closed-loop Hall current sensor, which will induce a small voltage signal output according to the Hall effect. After passing through a voltage divider resistor, the signal is amplified by U2. The voltage of U3 follows and acts as an isolation device. After passing through a low-pass filter composed of R4 & C1, the signal is input to an analog-to-digital converter. Finally, it is sampled and quantized at high speed to restore the coil current waveform.

[0032] This technology is simple in design and makes full use of the Hall effect principle to output pulse current as a small voltage signal. It has good signal tracking and, combined with a controller, can realize online coil current waveform monitoring. Based on the waveform analysis, the health status of the IGBT module, capacitors and other components in the electronic operating circuit can be realized to achieve local alarm or, through the built-in communication unit, the waveform data can be sent to a remote background for display.

[0033] This technology, based on Ampere's circuital law and the Hall effect, converts the pulse current of the permanent magnet drive circuit's working time slot into a small voltage signal. After being restored through a signal conditioning circuit, a digital high-frequency sampling circuit, and a compensation circuit, it is processed by the CPU to restore the actual "RLC" abstract permanent magnet mechanism coil current waveform and generate an operation log. It has the function of "real-time waveform recording" of the drive current and can be used for alarm output and remote data transmission by the feeder terminal of the local permanent magnet mechanism.
