Detailed Implementation

[0026] The core of this application is to provide a surge arrester that reduces the space occupied by the surge arrester while ensuring stable operation.

[0027] Another core aspect of this application is to provide a power system having the aforementioned surge arrester.

[0028] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0029] Traditional surge arrester status measurement devices are separate from the surge arresters. Due to limitations in measurement principles, they can often only provide feedback on some of the surge arrester's operating status parameters, such as leakage current and number of trips. They cannot provide a true and effective feedback on the complete operating status of the surge arrester. In addition, the measurement device is installed independently of the surge arrester, which requires a lot of installation space, and the measurement device itself can become a new hidden danger in the operation of the power system.

[0030] Therefore, such as Figure 1 As shown in the figure, this application discloses a surge arrester, including a surge arrester body 100 and a detection component. By integrating the detection component into the mounting cavity 101 of the surge arrester body 100, it is possible to monitor various parameters such as voltage, temperature and humidity of the surge arrester during operation, thereby ensuring stable operation of the surge arrester and reducing the space occupied by the surge arrester.

[0031] The following will combine Figure 1 The surge arrester disclosed in the embodiments of this application will be explained and described in detail.

[0032] Among them, such as Figure 1As shown, the surge arrester body 100 has a low-voltage end 102 and a high-voltage end 103 disposed opposite to each other. The surge arrester body 100 may include an insulating jacket 113, a first flange 114, and a second flange 115, with the first flange 114 and the second flange 115 located at opposite ends of the insulating jacket 113, so that the insulating jacket 113, the first flange 114, and the second flange 115 enclose a mounting cavity 101. Simultaneously, the first flange 114 provides support and internal protection for the low-voltage end 102 of the surge arrester body 100 and can serve as the low-voltage end electrode of the surge arrester body 100. The second flange 115 provides support and internal protection for the high-voltage end 103 of the surge arrester body 100 and can serve as the high-voltage end electrode of the surge arrester body 100. Optionally, the insulating jacket 113 may be a porcelain jacket, which can provide external insulation for the surge arrester body 100 while providing support and internal protection. A resistor core 104 is provided in the mounting cavity 101, and the two ends of the resistor core 104 can be connected to the low-voltage end 102 and the high-voltage end 103 respectively to realize the overvoltage protection function of the surge arrester.

[0033] To monitor various status parameters of the surge arrester during operation, a detection component can be installed inside the mounting cavity 101 of the surge arrester body 100. This allows the detection component to detect the status parameters within the mounting cavity 101 of the surge arrester body 100, including the voltage value across the surge arrester body 100 and the temperature and humidity within the mounting cavity 101. By integrating the detection component into the mounting cavity 101 of the surge arrester body 100, the voltage, temperature, humidity, and other parameters of the surge arrester during operation can be monitored. This ensures stable operation of the surge arrester while reducing the space occupied by the surge arrester.

[0034] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, the detection assembly may include a voltage detection element and a temperature and humidity detection element. The temperature and humidity detection element can detect the temperature and humidity values ​​within the mounting cavity 101. The voltage detection element may include a voltage divider line 105 and a voltage sensor 106 disposed on the voltage divider line 105. The voltage sensor 106 is connected to the low-voltage end 102 and the high-voltage end 103 of the surge arrester body 100 via the voltage divider line 105, respectively, to detect the voltage values ​​at the low-voltage end 102 and the high-voltage end 103 of the surge arrester body 100. The temperature and humidity detection element may include a temperature sensor 110 and a humidity sensor 111, thereby allowing the temperature value within the mounting cavity 101 of the surge arrester body 100 to be detected by the temperature sensor 110, and the humidity value within the mounting cavity 101 of the surge arrester body 100 to be detected by the humidity sensor 111.

[0035] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1As shown, the resistor core 104 may include a first core 1041 and a second core 1042 connected in parallel. A current compensation unit 107 is connected to the high-voltage terminals 103 of the first core 1041 and the second core 1042, allowing switching between the first core 1041 and the second core 1042 via the current compensation unit 107. A communication module 108 is connected to the low-voltage terminals 102 of the first core 1041 and the second core 1042, and the communication module 108 is connected to the current compensation unit 107 via a transmission harness 109. Temperature and humidity detection elements are connected to the transmission harness 109; that is, a temperature sensor 110 and a humidity sensor 111 can be connected in series on the transmission harness 109. A voltage sensor 106 can be connected to the communication module 108. The current compensation unit 107 may have a built-in current sensor or a separate current sensor electrically connected to it. When the current sensor detects the overcurrent signal generated by the deterioration of the zinc oxide resistor in the first core 1041, it can activate the switching switch inside the current compensation unit 107 to switch the main circuit to the second core 1042 and isolate the deteriorated first core 1041 from the main circuit, ensuring the normal operation of the surge arrester and improving the stability of the surge arrester.

[0036] It should be noted that one of the first core 1041 and the second core 1042 can be selected as the commonly used circuit resistor core and the other as the backup circuit resistor core. When the current compensation unit 107 detects an abnormal current, it can automatically activate the bypass circuit, adjust the current distribution, reduce the current amplitude flowing through the resistor core, and stop the continuous deterioration of the resistor core, thereby improving the reliability of the surge arrester and reducing equipment damage and power outages caused by surge arrester failure.

[0037] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, the surge arrester also includes a built-in cooling device 112, which is connected to the transmission harness 109. When the temperature sensor 110 detects that the temperature inside the mounting cavity 101 of the surge arrester body 100 is overheated, the cooling device 112 will immediately activate. Through the thermoelectric cooling module of the cooling device 112, the internal temperature of the mounting cavity 101 of the surge arrester body 100 will be controlled, and the local overheated area will be rapidly cooled to prevent equipment damage caused by thermal runaway.

[0038] In some embodiments, the communication module 108 may be equipped with an early warning function. The communication module 108 can analyze the operating status and deterioration of the surge arrester in real time based on the data detected by the detection component, including voltage value, temperature value and humidity value, and transmit the relevant data and signals to the background management system and the mobile devices of maintenance personnel, so as to maintain the surge arrester, avoid human data monitoring and human judgment of the surge arrester, reduce the labor intensity of operation and maintenance personnel, and improve the efficiency and quality of operation and maintenance work.

[0039] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, the first core 1041 may include a first high-voltage electrode 1043, and the second core 1042 may include a second high-voltage electrode 1044. The first high-voltage electrode 1043 can be connected to the current compensation unit 107 via the first high-voltage wiring 1046, and the second high-voltage electrode 1044 can be connected to the current compensation unit 107 via the second high-voltage wiring 1047. The low-voltage terminals 102 of the first core 1041 and the second core 1042 are connected to the communication module 108 via the low-voltage electrode 1045. Simultaneously, through holes are provided in both the first flange 114 and the second flange 115 for the wire harness to pass through, so that the current compensation unit 107 can be connected to the external high-voltage metal part via the surge arrester high-voltage wiring 1031, and the communication module 108 can be connected to the external high-voltage metal part via the surge arrester low-voltage wiring 1021, ensuring that current can flow through the surge arrester.

[0040] As can be seen from the above embodiments, the surge arrester disclosed in this application can achieve an integrated structure of the surge arrester and measuring device by embedding various sensors, algorithm chips, and communication modules 108 within the mounting cavity 101 of the surge arrester body 100. This allows for online monitoring, anomaly diagnosis, and fault early warning of various operating parameters of the surge arrester body. Furthermore, the built-in current compensation unit 107 enables the surge arrester to achieve self-recovery from anomalies and self-elimination of potential hazards, fundamentally improving the operational reliability, safety, and ease of maintenance of the surge arrester.

[0041] This application also discloses a power system including the surge arrester disclosed in the above embodiments. Therefore, the power system has all the technical effects of the surge arrester, which will not be repeated here.

[0042] The terms "first" and "second," etc., in the specification, claims, and accompanying drawings of this application are used to distinguish different objects, not to describe a specific order. Furthermore, the terms "comprising" and "having," and any variations thereof, are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion. For example, a process, method, system, product, or apparatus that includes a series of steps or units may include steps or units not listed, but rather not listed.

[0043] The above description of the disclosed embodiments enables those skilled in the art to make or use this application. Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of this application. Therefore, this application is not to be limited to the embodiments shown herein, but is to be accorded the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
