Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application relates to the field of low-voltage shunt capacitors, in particular to a long-service-life low-voltage shunt capacitor. BACKGROUND

[0002] In a power system, as a key device for reactive power compensation, the stability and reliability of a low-voltage shunt power capacitor directly relate to the power quality, power factor and economic operation of the power grid.

[0003] During the working process of the low-voltage shunt capacitor, when the low-voltage shunt capacitor is disconnected from the circuit, residual charges are still left in the low-voltage shunt capacitor, so the external wire end of the low-voltage shunt capacitor is still electrified. Since the self-discharge process is very slow, the capacitor is electrified for a long time. Therefore, in the prior art, a discharge resistor is often connected to one end of the capacitor, and the discharge resistor can automatically and quickly discharge after the capacitor is disconnected from the circuit.

[0004] However, in actual use, the resistance value of the discharge resistor is large, and in the case that the capacitor capacity is large or the discharge is frequent, the discharge resistor generates a large amount of heat during the working process, thereby increasing the temperature rise in the capacitor. The temperature rise gathered in the shell interior accelerates the aging of the electrical elements in the shell interior, affecting the service life of the capacitor. CONTENT OF THE INVENTION

[0005] In order to avoid the increase of the temperature rise in the capacitor caused by the discharge resistor, a long-service-life low-voltage shunt capacitor is provided.

[0006] The above application purpose of the application is achieved by the following technical scheme:

[0007] The long-service-life low-voltage shunt capacitor comprises a shell, an upper end of the shell is fixed with an upper cover, a capacitor element is installed in the shell, and a wiring mechanism is further included. The wiring mechanism comprises a wiring seat, the wiring seat is installed on the top of the upper cover, a wiring terminal and a discharge resistor are installed in the wiring seat, one end of the discharge resistor is electrically connected with the wiring terminal, and the other end of the discharge resistor is electrically connected with the capacitor element.

[0008] By adopting the above technical scheme, the discharge resistor and the wiring terminal are both located outside the shell, and a large amount of heat generated by the discharge resistor during the operation process is directly dissipated to the outside, thereby reducing the temperature rise generated by the capacitor during the operation process, and avoiding the temperature rise gathered in the shell interior to accelerate the aging of the capacitor element in the shell interior, so that the service life of the capacitor is greatly prolonged.

[0009] Optionally, a limiting groove is formed on the top of the upper cover, a plurality of buckles are fixed on the circumferential sidewall of the bottom of the wiring seat, the bottom of the wiring seat passes through the limiting groove, and the buckles on the circumferential sidewall of the bottom of the wiring seat are clamped with the upper cover.

[0010] By adopting the technical scheme, the buckle design can ensure the close connection between the terminal seat and the capacitor upper cover, effectively prevent the loosening or falling phenomenon caused by external factors such as vibration and impact, and reduce the failure caused by connection problems.

[0011] Optionally, the terminal mechanism comprises a fixing member and a limiting member, one end of the fixing member is fixedly connected with the top of the upper cover, the other end is fixedly connected with the limiting member, the limiting member is located above the upper cover, and the limiting member is perpendicular to the upper cover, the limiting member comprises a limiting part and an adjusting part, the limiting part is clamped with the terminal seat, and the fixing member and the adjusting part form an adjusting cavity.

[0012] By adopting the technical scheme, the limiting part is clamped with the terminal seat, ensuring the close connection between the terminal seat and the upper cover, and the adjusting part is pressed to move in the direction of the adjusting cavity, the adjusting part drives the limiting part to unlock the clamping of the limiting part and the terminal seat, and the limiting part is moved away from the terminal seat, so that the operator can complete the disassembly of the terminal seat by simply operating the limiting member when replacing or repairing the capacitor, greatly improving the work efficiency of the terminal seat disassembly.

[0013] Optionally, the number of the fixing member and the limiting member is multiple, and they are respectively located on the outer side wall of the terminal seat.

[0014] By adopting the technical scheme, the terminal seat is limited from all directions, improving the close connection between the terminal seat and the upper cover of the capacitor, and reducing the risk of movement of the terminal seat on the upper cover.

[0015] Optionally, the distance between the fixing member and the adjusting part is less than the distance between the terminal seat and the adjusting part.

[0016] By adopting the technical scheme, when the terminal seat is inserted towards the upper cover, the risk of contact between the fixing member and the side wall of the terminal seat is reduced, and the insertion of the terminal seat and the upper cover is avoided.

[0017] Optionally, a fixing hole is formed in the outer peripheral side wall of the upper cover, and the terminal mechanism further comprises a limiting column, the limiting column slides in the fixing hole, and in the axial direction, the limiting column abuts against the adjusting part.

[0018] By adopting the technical scheme, since the space occupied by the terminal seat on the upper cover is large, it is inconvenient for the operator to move the limiting part by pressing the adjusting part, therefore, the limiting column is additionally arranged, and the operator can drive the adjusting part to move the limiting part by pressing the limiting column, thereby improving the efficiency of disassembly of the terminal seat and the limiting member.

[0019] Optionally, a spring is installed between the adjusting part and the limiting column.

[0020] By adopting the technical scheme, when the limiting column is pressed to drive the adjusting part to move towards the adjusting cavity, the spring automatically resets the limiting column without manual reset, reduces the additional steps, and improves the efficiency.

[0021] Optionally, the length of the limiting column in the axial direction is greater than the distance from the adjusting part to the outer peripheral sidewall of the upper cover.

[0022] By adopting the technical scheme, the end of the limiting column does not pass through the fixing hole in the pressed state, the fixing hole can limit the limiting column, and when the pressing on the limiting column is released, the spring drives the limiting column to automatically reset in the fixing hole, reducing the risk that the limiting column cannot automatically reset due to abutting against the upper cover.

[0023] Optionally, the number of the terminal is three, and the three terminals are uniformly spaced and parallelly distributed.

[0024] By adopting the technical scheme, the uniformly spaced terminals help to ensure that the electrical performance of each phase of the capacitor is balanced when the capacitor is connected to the circuit, avoiding current imbalance caused by uneven wiring; and the parallelly distributed terminals make the capacitor more convenient to install and maintain.

[0025] In summary, the present application has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0026] 1. A large amount of heat generated by the discharge resistor during operation is directly dissipated to the outside, reducing the temperature rise of the capacitor during operation, thereby avoiding accelerated aging of the capacitor elements inside the capacitor housing, and greatly prolonging the service life of the capacitor.

[0027] 2. The limiting piece limits the terminal seat, ensuring the tight connection between the terminal seat and the upper cover, and the spring is driven by pressing the limiting column to press the adjusting part to move towards the adjusting cavity, and the adjusting part drives the limiting part to unlock the clamping of the limiting part and the terminal seat. When the capacitor needs to be replaced or repaired, the operator only needs to press the limiting column to complete the disassembly and assembly of the terminal seat, greatly improving the work efficiency of the disassembly and assembly of the terminal seat.
