[0038] Referring to Figure 3The circuit breaker module is shown in the electrical connection principle diagram of the wind driven generator. The circuit breaker module 200 is applied in the wind driven generator system. The cabinet 100 is a grid-connected cabinet of a converter in the wind driven generator system.

The first grid parallel end A is connected with the circuit breaker module 200 through a first cabinet terminal A1, the second grid parallel end B is connected with the circuit breaker module 200 through a second cabinet terminal B1, and the third grid parallel end C is connected with the circuit breaker module 200 through a third cabinet terminal C1.

[0039] The circuit breaker itself has certain impedance, for example, Figure 3 The equivalent impedance Z1 of the first circuit breaker and the equivalent impedance Z2 of the second circuit breaker are different due to the difference between the circuit breakers themselves, even if the circuit breakers are of the same specification and model.

[0040] If the parallel connection mode of the prior art circuit breaker is adopted, i.e. the input terminals of the multiple circuit breakers are directly connected in parallel and the output terminals are directly connected in parallel, the current ratio of the parallel connection circuit breakers is Z1 / Z2, and due to the difference between Z1 and Z2, the current flowing between the parallel connection circuit breakers is greatly different, which affects the working reliability and service life of the circuit breakers.

[0041] The parallel connection mode of the circuit breaker module 200 of the utility model is adopted, and Figure 3 It can be seen that the equivalent impedance Z3 of the cable from the first circuit breaker to the generator stator and the equivalent impedance Z4 of the cable from the second circuit breaker to the generator stator are much greater than Z1 and Z2, and the current ratio between the parallel connection circuit breakers is (Z1+Z3) / (Z2+Z4).
