Description

Without this module, numerous wiring connections, relays, terminals, fuses, and necessary auxiliary materials are required. Furthermore, the wiring configuration differs for each cabinet type, making troubleshooting difficult when the core wiring components malfunction. Therefore, it lacks universality and replaceability. With this module, the wiring is significantly reduced, the core control components are fully integrated, and it is replaceable, greatly improving the convenience and cost-effectiveness of maintenance.

[0039] Load K1 is electrically connected to terminals PCB: 21 and PCB: 22. Terminal PCB: 21 is the power input + for load K1, and terminal PCB: 22 is the power input - for load K1. Load K2 is electrically connected to terminals PCB: 19 and PCB: 20. Terminal PCB: 19 is the power input + for load K2, and terminal PCB: 20 ​​is the power input - for load K2. Load K3 is electrically connected to terminals PCB: 17 and PCB: 18. Terminal PCB: 17 is the power input + for load K3, and terminal PCB: 18 is the power input - for load K3. The power chip controls the power output module, which is electrically connected to loads K1, K2, and K3 via fuse FU2. The relay plus wiring method provides multiple connection points, making troubleshooting simple and quick, improving the flexibility and scope of use, enhancing the modular troubleshooting efficiency of the wiring harness, allowing for direct replacement, and reducing production and maintenance costs.

[0040] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 As shown, the load K3 is electrically connected to terminals PCB:14, PCB:13 and PCB:12. Terminal PCB:14 is the common terminal for the internal conversion of C3 signal, terminal PCB:13 is the closed terminal for the internal conversion of C3 signal, and terminal PCB:12 is the open terminal for the internal conversion of C3 signal.

[0041] The fuse FU2 is electrically connected to loads K1, K2 and K3 via terminals PCB:9, PCB:10 and PCB:11. Terminal PCB:9 is electrically connected to load K1 and is the common point for closing and opening the circuit breaker.

[0054] PCB terminal number: 6 is the load input power +;

[0055] PCB terminal number 6 is the load input power supply. Without changing the original mechanical performance, this module solves the compatibility problem of secondary control modules for ring main unit equipment from various manufacturers. This module is compatible with mainstream ring main unit manufacturers, which can improve the efficiency of power distribution automation operation and maintenance, reduce maintenance costs, and lay a solid foundation for ensuring more stable intelligent power remote control and power operation.

[0056] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 As shown, the power chip controls the power output module to output DC24V-220V DC voltage from the rectifier bridge. After passing through the power chip control power output module, the fixed power output of the functional module is obtained. The input power can be divided into power supply and operating power. This module can realize the power supply to be used separately or in parallel, thus expanding the scope of application.

[0057] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 As shown, the power input includes multiple voltage inputs such as AC / DC 24V, AC / DC 48V, AC / DC 110V, or AC / DC 220V, with multiple input methods, further expanding the scope of application.

[0058] like Figure 1 As shown, the principle of the universal integrated control module for ring main units provided in this embodiment is as follows:

[0059] It includes a rectifier bridge and a power chip control power output module. One end of the rectifier bridge is electrically connected to the power input terminals PCB+ and PCB-, and the other end of the rectifier bridge is electrically connected to the power chip control power output module.

[0060] The power chip controls the power output module, which is equipped with loads K1, K2, and K3 connected in parallel. Lamp L1 is connected in parallel to load K1, lamp L2 to load K2, and lamp L3 to load K3. This integrated control module is a crucial component of the switch cabinet. Without it, numerous wiring connections, relays, terminals, fuses, and necessary accessories are required. Furthermore, the wiring configuration varies between different cabinet models, making troubleshooting difficult and preventing universal or interchangeable connections. This module significantly reduces wiring complexity, integrates the core control components, and allows for easy replacement, greatly improving maintenance convenience and reducing costs.
