Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of electrical cabinets and relates to a high-current switch cabinet with a high protection level. Background Technology

[0002] In power systems, low-voltage switchgear, as a key device for power distribution and control, is widely used in industrial, commercial, and residential sectors. However, traditional low-voltage switchgear generally suffers from low protection levels in its design and application, which is particularly prominent in harsh environments. For example, in humid, dusty, corrosive, or explosive environments, traditional low-voltage switchgear is susceptible to damage to its internal electrical components due to external environmental factors, which can affect the stable operation of the entire power system and even potentially lead to safety accidents.

[0003] Specifically, the low protection level of traditional low-voltage switchgear is mainly reflected in the following aspects:

[0004] Unreasonable structural design: Traditional low-voltage switchgear cabinets often have a simple cabinet structure and lack effective partitioning design, resulting in electrical components with different functions (such as busbar system, control busbar system, PE busbar system and N busbar system) being mixed together, which not only increases the difficulty of maintenance, but also reduces the overall safety and reliability.

[0005] The busbar system connection is complex: the connection between the horizontal busbar and the branch busbar in traditional low-voltage switchgear usually adopts the traditional bolt or welding method. This method is not only complex to connect, but also has many specifications, making it difficult to adapt to the needs of different current levels and installation environments. At the same time, it has poor dynamic and thermal stability and is prone to loosening or overheating under long-term operation or high current impact.

[0006] Inconvenient PE / N busbar system fixing and wiring: Traditional low-voltage switchgear typically uses simple cables or copper busbars for fixing the PE and N busbars, which is unstable and inconvenient for wiring, making it difficult to meet the needs of multi-directional wiring. In addition, this fixing method also increases the grounding resistance and reduces the reliability of the grounding system.

[0007] Low wiring efficiency of control busbar systems: Traditional low-voltage switchgear control busbar systems often adopt a distributed design, with a large number of buses and complex wiring, which not only increases the risk of wiring errors but also reduces wiring efficiency. Furthermore, due to the lack of effective dynamic and thermal stability design, control buses are prone to loosening or overheating during long-term operation.

[0008] Unstable busbar clamp support: Traditional low-voltage switchgear busbar clamps typically use an integrated design, making it difficult to adapt to the support requirements of busbars of different specifications. Furthermore, the lack of a detachable structure makes the installation and maintenance of busbar clamps quite difficult.

[0009] Insufficient protection level: Traditional low-voltage switchgear often uses an unsealed design for its cabinet frame and partitions, making it difficult to effectively prevent the intrusion of external environmental factors (such as dust, moisture, corrosive gases, etc.). This not only reduces the overall protection level of the switchgear but also increases the risk of damage to electrical components. Utility Model Content

[0010] In view of this, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a high-current switchgear with a high protection level. By optimizing the cabinet frame structure, busbar system connection method, PE / N busbar system fixing and wiring method, control busbar system wiring method, busbar clamp support method, and improving the sealing of the cabinet frame and partition plate, this invention effectively solves the problems existing in traditional low-voltage switchgear when used in harsh environments, and improves the overall safety and reliability of the switchgear.

[0011] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a high-protection-level high-current switchgear, comprising a cabinet frame, a busbar system, a control busbar system, a PE busbar system, and an N busbar system; the cabinet frame is composed of metal columns, beams, and partitions, the partitions dividing the cabinet interior into a busbar cavity, a control cavity, and a PE / N busbar cavity; the busbar system includes horizontal busbars and branch busbars, the horizontal busbars being fixed to the top of the busbar cavity by T-bolts and vertically connected to the branch busbars via a square reversing structure; the control busbar system integrates four-phase busbars and is embedded in the insulating bracket of the control cavity, electrically connected to the branch busbars via copper busbars; the PE busbar system and the N busbar system respectively adopt multi-faceted aluminum alloy profiles, fixed to both sides of the PE / N busbar cavity via slots, and grounded connected to the cabinet frame; modular busbar clamps are detachably installed on the cabinet frame beams to support the horizontal busbars and branch busbars.

[0012] Optionally, the aluminum alloy profiles of the horizontal busbars are connected by T-bolts, reducing the number of connection specifications and improving dynamic and thermal stability.

[0013] Optionally, the multi-faceted aluminum alloy profile design of the PE busbar system and N busbar system includes multiple fixing surfaces, supporting simultaneous multi-directional wiring.

[0014] Optionally, the four-phase busbar integrated design of the control busbar system is fixed by an integrated structure, which improves wiring efficiency and dynamic and thermal stability.

[0015] Optionally, the square commutation structure of the branch busbar includes a 90° bent copper busbar for adapting the fixing of the current transformer and the commutation connection of the copper busbar.

[0016] Optionally, the modular busbar clamp is installed on the cabinet frame via a detachable structure to support the horizontal busbar, branch busbar, and control busbar.

This design greatly simplifies the installation and maintenance process of the PE / N busbar and improves work efficiency.

[0022] 4) Improved wiring efficiency of the control busbar system: The control busbar system integrates four-phase busbars and is embedded in the insulating bracket of the control cavity, fixed by an integrated structure, which improves wiring efficiency and dynamic and thermal stability.
