Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of current transformer technology, specifically to a high-precision current transformer with impedance balance compensation. Background Technology

[0002] Impedance-balanced compensation current transformer is a type of current transformer that combines impedance balance compensation technology. Based on the principle of electromagnetic induction, the main coil current generates a magnetic field, and the secondary coil induces a current. Through optimized structural design and additional functional modules, the circuit impedance parameters are adjusted to compensate for errors caused by load changes, thereby improving measurement accuracy and stability. It is widely used in power systems, industrial automation, smart grids and other fields.

[0003] Impedance-balanced compensation current transformers are mainly divided into fixed current transformers and switchable current transformers according to their shape. The main coil of a fixed current transformer, i.e., the high-voltage conductor, needs to pass through a central perforation. However, since there are no gaps around the perforation in a fixed current transformer, the high-voltage conductor must be disconnected to pass through the perforation and then reconnected. In many cases, for structural integrity and safety reasons, it is inconvenient to disconnect and reconnect the high-voltage conductor. Therefore, the switchable current transformer easily solves this installation problem by having two movable hinged parts that open and close onto the high-voltage conductor. Thus, the switchable current transformer is more convenient in terms of installation.

[0004] Most open-type current transformers on the market are essentially independent of each other, connected only by the hinge. The iron cores inside the two outer shells are independently packaged, so the two iron cores are not physically connected. Although the magnetic field lines that generate the magnetic field can close, the large gap between the two iron cores inevitably leads to a large leakage magnetic field. This means that the influence of leakage magnetic field needs to be considered during measurement, making data processing more complex and troublesome, and causing many inconveniences.

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a high-precision current transformer with impedance balance compensation, which solves the problem of severe magnetic leakage caused by the large gap between the two iron cores in the currently available open-type impedance balance compensation current transformers.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0007] An impedance-balanced compensation high-precision current transformer includes a fixed plate, a cavity semi-circular annular fixed lower shell fixedly connected to the fixed plate, a cavity semi-circular detachable upper shell installed above the fixed lower shell, and a fixed iron core and a detachable iron core respectively fixedly installed inside the fixed lower shell and the detachable upper shell.

The upper ends of the two sets of fixed coils are respectively fixedly connected to two pipe clamps fixed at both ends of the fixed shell. A ring of retaining strips is provided on the outer walls of both ends of the fixed shell.

[0009] The surface of the detachable iron core is wound with a set of detachable coils. The detachable coils and the two sets of fixed coils are wound in the same spiral direction on the detachable iron core and the fixed iron core respectively. Both ends of the detachable coils are connected to two terminal plugs fixed at both ends of the detachable upper shell. The two terminal plugs are respectively inserted into two pipe clamps. The outer walls of both ends of the detachable upper shell are provided with a groove for engaging with the locking strip.

[0010] Both ends of the fixed lower shell and the detachable upper shell are provided with connecting ears, and fastening bolts and fastening nuts are installed between the connecting ears on the fixed lower shell and the detachable upper shell.

[0011] Preferably, the fixed iron core and the detachable iron core are the same in shape and size and are arranged symmetrically at the top and bottom. The interior of the detachable upper shell and the fixed lower shell are respectively provided with fixing grooves for installing and fixing the detachable iron core and the fixed iron core.

[0012] Preferably, the winding pitch of the fixed coil and the detachable coil are equal.

[0013] Preferably, both the fixed lower shell and the detachable upper shell have internal limit buckles, and the wiring pipe, pipe clamp and wiring plug are all fixed by the limit buckles.

[0014] Preferably, the pipe clamp is flared in shape with its opening facing upward and vertically arranged, and an expansion joint is provided on the lower half of its side wall. The pipe clamp is inserted into the wiring plug with an interference fit.

Furthermore, both the fixed lower shell and the detachable upper shell are open at opposite ends, allowing the fixed and openable iron cores inside to be joined without obstruction. This significantly reduces magnetic leakage and improves magnetic conductivity, minimizing direct current errors and increasing accuracy. It also solves the problem of severe magnetic leakage caused by the large gap between the two iron cores in currently available open-type impedance balance compensation current transformers.

Both ends of the detachable upper shell 3 are provided with a ring of retaining grooves 13 that engage with the retaining strips 10.

[0028] A set of fixed coils 6 are wound on the left and right halves of the fixed iron core 4. The opposite ends of the two sets of fixed coils 6 are respectively connected to two connecting pipes 7 fixed inside the lower part of the fixed lower shell 2. The front of the fixed lower shell 2 is provided with screw terminals 8 that are threaded to the connecting pipes 7. The upper ends of the two sets of fixed coils 6 are respectively fixedly connected to two pipe clamps 9 fixed at both ends of the fixed lower shell 2.

[0029] A set of detachable coils 11 is wound around the surface of the detachable iron core 5. The detachable coils 11 and the two sets of fixed coils 6 are wound in the same spiral direction on the detachable iron core 5 and the fixed iron core 4 respectively. The winding pitch of the fixed coils 6 and the detachable coils 11 is equal. Both ends of the detachable coils 11 are connected to two terminal plugs 12 fixed at both ends of the detachable upper shell 3. The two terminal plugs 12 are respectively inserted into two pipe clamps 9.
