Abstract
Description
Technical Field

[0002] An active power filter (APF) is a widely used power electronic device in power systems, designed to improve power quality, reduce harmonic pollution, and optimize grid performance. With increasing demands for power quality in modern power systems, especially strict harmonic control, APFs have found widespread application in industrial, commercial, and residential power systems. By monitoring and dynamically adjusting current or voltage waveforms in real time, they eliminate harmonics generated in the grid, thereby improving energy efficiency, reducing damage to electrical equipment, and enhancing power system stability.

Furthermore, existing commissioning equipment has limited functionality and cannot meet complex commissioning needs, especially when facing varying load conditions, harmonic frequencies, and dynamic system changes. Traditional equipment lacks adaptability and struggles to achieve rapid and efficient commissioning. Utility Model Content

[0029] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings:
[0030] This utility model provides a debugging device for active filters, such as... Figures 1-3As shown, the system includes a cabinet 1; the cabinet 1 houses a voltage regulator 2, a control module, and a power module; the control module is located above the voltage regulator 2; an aviation connector is located on the side of the cabinet 1; the power module and the voltage regulator 2 are electrically connected; the voltage regulator 2 and the aviation connector are electrically connected; the aviation connector is electrically connected to an active filter via an active filter connection line 19; the aviation connector is electrically connected to the control module; the active filter is electrically connected to a current transformer; the current transformer is electrically connected to the control module via a current transformer sampling line 18; the voltage regulator 2 is electrically connected to a smart meter 20; and the smart meter 20 is electrically connected to the control module. The active filter debugging device of this utility model integrates the voltage regulator 2, control module, and power supply module within the cabinet 1 through a highly integrated design, and uses aviation plugs for quick connection. Its integrated structure simplifies the wiring complexity at the debugging site and improves operational efficiency. This utility model device uses the voltage regulator 2 to precisely adjust the input voltage to simulate the working condition, the current transformer to collect harmonic parameters in real time and feed them back to the control module, and the smart meter 20 to synchronously monitor the parameters of the voltage regulator 2, significantly improving debugging efficiency and data reliability. The control module can display the acquired test data, making it convenient for operators to monitor the real-time data. At the same time, the use of aviation plugs enhances the reliability and safety of the connection. The overall design takes into account the convenience of debugging, comprehensive functions, and system stability, significantly improving the debugging quality and efficiency of the active filter.
[0031] The voltage regulator 2 is provided with a terminal block 23 at its output end; the smart meter 20 collects the output voltage on the terminal block 23 and feeds it back to the control module.
[0032] The control module is electrically connected to the relay 16 via the I / O module 17; the relay 16 is electrically connected to the contactor; one end of the contactor is electrically connected to the voltage regulator 2, and the other end is electrically connected to the aviation connector. A first circuit breaker 8 is installed between the voltage regulator 2 and the aviation connector. On one hand, the operator can manually disconnect the first circuit breaker 8 to achieve an emergency power cut; on the other hand, the control module can output a digital signal through the I / O module 17 to drive the relay 16, thereby causing the relay 16 to engage and disengage with the contactor to achieve rapid switching of the main circuit.
[0033] The control module includes a monitoring screen 4 and a touch-sensitive control panel 5 mounted on the outer surface of the cabinet 1; the current transformer and the smart meter 20 are both electrically connected to the monitoring screen 4; the IO module 17 is electrically connected to the touch-sensitive control panel 5. The monitoring screen 4 directly displays the active filter operating data collected by the current transformer and the real-time monitoring data of the voltage regulator 2 collected by the smart meter 20, facilitating real-time observation of the system's operating status; the touch-sensitive control panel 5 provides control over the main power circuit. This device achieves a balance between data visualization and ease of operation, optimizes the human-machine interface through functional partitioning, significantly improves the accuracy and efficiency of active filter debugging, and lowers the professional threshold for operators.
[0034] The cabinet 1 is also equipped with a power indicator light 10 and a screen power switch 11, which are used to indicate whether the power module is powered on and to turn the monitoring screen 4 and the touch control screen 5 on or off, respectively.
[0035] A first 485 module is provided between the IO module 17 and the relay 16; the current transformer is electrically connected to the control module through a second 485 module; and the smart meter 20 is electrically connected to the control module through a third 485 module.

[0036] The power module is electrically connected to the voltage regulator 2 via a resistor box 3, and a second circuit breaker is installed between the resistor box 3 and the aviation plug. The introduction of the resistor box 3 can effectively limit the initial inrush current of the power module to the voltage regulator 2, avoiding damage to sensitive components from the surge at the moment of power-on; the second circuit breaker provides reliable electrical isolation protection, and can quickly cut off the power supply in case of overcurrent or abnormal debugging, ensuring the safety of equipment and personnel.
[0037] The side of the cabinet 1 is equipped with an input voltmeter 6, an input indicator light, an output voltmeter 7, an output indicator light, a regulator stop button 12, a regulator start button 13, a regulator boost button 14, and a regulator buck button 15, all electrically connected to the voltage regulator 2. By integrating the input / output voltmeters, indicator lights, and operation buttons on the side of the cabinet 1, the intuitiveness and ease of operation during the commissioning process are significantly improved: the input / output voltmeters can display the operating parameters of the voltage regulator 2 in real time, and the status feedback from the input / output indicator lights allows commissioning personnel to quickly grasp the system's operating status; the start and stop buttons enable one-button power control, while the boost and buck buttons provide fine adjustment of the output voltage. All commissioning operations can be completed without relying on external equipment, which not only lowers the operational threshold but also significantly shortens the commissioning time. Furthermore, the visual status monitoring effectively prevents the risk of misoperation, ensuring the safety and reliability of the commissioning process.
[0038] A three-color indicator light 9 is installed on the side of the cabinet 1. The three-color indicator light 9 is electrically connected to the current transformer and is used to indicate the test status of the debugging device, improving the operator's ability to monitor the debugging process in real time. Specifically, a green indicator light indicates that the device is in standby mode and no device under test is connected, a yellow indicator light indicates that the device is undergoing dynamic debugging, and a red indicator light immediately warns of a device malfunction.
[0039] This utility model's voltage regulator 2 steps down the 220V AC mains power to 24V-300W and 24V-200W. The aviation connector is electrically connected to the active power filter via the 24V-300W power supply; the aviation connector is electrically connected to the control module via the 24V-200W power supply. Both are started and stopped via a first power switch 21 and a second power switch 22, respectively. This device, through its dual-path independent voltage regulator design, achieves precise power supply and electrical isolation between the active power filter and the control module.
[0040] The working process of this utility model device is as follows:
[0041] Equipment installation and connection: Connect the active filter to the voltage regulator 2 of the device via an aviation plug; connect the active filter to the signal port of the sampling device to collect parameters such as voltage and current.

[0043] Parameter debugging and performance testing: The operating parameters of the active filter, such as harmonic compensation level and response speed, are set through the touch screen 5; the smart meter 20 collects power quality data in real time and displays the test results through the monitoring screen 4.
[0044] Automated control and data recording: The control module automatically switches voltage conditions and test parameters according to the preset test procedure; the test data is displayed on the touch screen 5 through the 485 module to realize data recording and analysis.
