Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of circuit breaker gas-filled switchgear technology, and in particular to a circuit breaker gas-filled switchgear for measuring feeder side voltage. Background Technology
[0002] Gas-insulated circuit breakers are high-voltage electrical devices that utilize insulating gases (such as sulfur hexafluoride SF6 or environmentally friendly alternative gases) as arc-extinguishing and insulating media, and are widely used in power systems. In 12kV ring main units, feeder-side voltage transformers need to be installed on the circuit breaker cabinet.
[0003] The existing gas-insulated switchgear is usually installed next to the circuit breaker cabinet with a voltage transformer cabinet. The installation is simple but it occupies the foundation space. Utility Model Content
[0004] Therefore, there is a need to provide a gas-insulated switchgear for measuring feeder side voltage, in order to solve the technical problem that existing gas-insulated switchgear generally involves adding a voltage transformer cabinet next to the circuit breaker cabinet, which is simple to install but occupies foundation space.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a circuit breaker gas-filled cabinet for measuring feeder-side voltage, comprising:
[0006] Installation box;
[0007] The gas box is installed on top of the mounting box. A circuit breaker is installed inside the gas box, and a feeder bushing is installed at the bottom of the circuit breaker.
[0008] Voltage transformer, the voltage transformer is installed at the bottom of the mounting box;
[0009] The current transformer kit is installed inside the mounting box and located on one side of the voltage transformer. One end of the current transformer kit is connected to the voltage transformer.
[0010] Connecting bushing, one end of the connecting bushing is connected to the other end of the current transformer kit, and the other end of the connecting bushing is connected to the feeder bushing.
[0011] Unlike existing technologies, the above-mentioned technical solution installs a voltage transformer at the bottom of the existing mounting box, thereby reducing the floor space required. Furthermore, by connecting the voltage transformer to the feeder bushing via a transformer kit and connecting bushing, the voltage transformer can measure the feeder-side voltage.
[0012] As one embodiment of this utility model, the gas-filled switchgear for measuring feeder side voltage also includes a cable, which connects the other end of the current transformer kit to one end of the connecting bushing.
[0013] Thus, the cable's flexibility and ability to bend and twist make it more suitable for internal connections within gas-insulated switchgear. The cable typically has a metallic shielding layer to suppress electric field radiation and external electromagnetic interference, protecting the stability of voltage signal transmission. Furthermore, in case of a fault in the bushing or transformer assembly, the cable can be disconnected and replaced individually, making the process more convenient.
[0014] In one embodiment of this utility model, three feeder bushings are installed at the bottom of the circuit breaker, and three current transformer kits and three connecting bushings are provided. Each feeder bushing corresponds to one current transformer kit and one connecting bushing.
[0015] In this way, the three-phase feeder bushings, transformer kits, and connecting bushings are set up independently, achieving physical and electrical isolation and avoiding phase-to-phase short circuits or electromagnetic interference. In addition, when repairing or replacing the feeder bushings, transformer kits, and connecting bushings of a certain phase, only that phase needs to be shut down, without the need for a complete power outage, reducing the scope and duration of power outages.
[0016] In one embodiment of this utility model, the cross-section of the current transformer kit and the connecting bushing is L-shaped.
[0017] In this way, components in different directions can be connected to the two sides of the L-shape, which facilitates connection and reduces the overall space occupied. The geometric characteristics of the L-shaped cross-section enhance the resistance to bending and torsion, and disperse mechanical stress from feeder bushings or external vibrations (such as the impact of circuit breaker opening and closing). In addition, the L-shaped corners can be equipped with shielding rings or rounded corners (to avoid sharp corners) to uniformly distribute the electric field and reduce partial discharge.
[0018] As one embodiment of this utility model, the circuit breaker gas-filled cabinet for measuring feeder side voltage also includes a connecting bar, which connects the other end of the connecting bushing to the feeder bushing.
[0019] Therefore, connectors are typically made of copper or aluminum, which can carry higher currents and reduce heat loss caused by conductor resistance. Furthermore, the connector, along with the connecting bushing and feeder bushing, works together to prevent surface creepage or breakdown. Optionally, the connector and feeder bushing are fixed by bolting or welding, providing a large and stable contact area and preventing increased resistance and localized overheating due to loosening.
[0020] As one embodiment of this utility model, an inspection door is provided on the side of the mounting box.
[0021] Thus, by setting up an inspection door, it is convenient to install or repair the current transformer kit and connecting bushings installed in the mounting box.
[0022] As one embodiment of this utility model, the circuit breaker gas-filled cabinet for measuring feeder side voltage also includes fasteners, and the voltage transformer is detachably installed at the bottom of the mounting box via the fasteners.
[0023] In this way, the voltage transformer can be detachably mounted at the bottom of the mounting box using fasteners, making it easier to disassemble or repair the voltage transformer. These fasteners can be bolts, studs, screws, etc.
[0024] As one embodiment of this utility model, the circuit breaker gas-filled cabinet for measuring feeder side voltage also includes a mounting base, and the voltage transformer is mounted on the bottom of the mounting box via the mounting base.
[0025] In this way, the mounting base provides rigid support for the voltage transformer, preventing displacement or tilting of the equipment caused by circuit breaker operation vibrations (such as opening and closing impacts) or external vibrations (such as earthquakes or equipment handling), thus ensuring long-term stable operation. Furthermore, the mounting base evenly distributes the weight of the voltage transformer to the bottom of the mounting box, avoiding localized stress concentration and protecting the structural integrity of the mounting box.
[0026] As one embodiment of this utility model, a lockable caster is provided at each of the four corners of the mounting base.
[0027] This makes it easy to move the voltage transformer mounted on the mounting base into the mounting box, and then fix the position of the mounting base in place by locking the casters after it has been moved to the designated position.
[0028] The above description of the utility model is merely an overview of the technical solution of this application. In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of this application and to implement it based on the description and drawings, and to make the above-mentioned objectives and other objectives, features and advantages of this application easier to understand, the following description is provided in conjunction with the specific embodiments and drawings of this application.

[0047] The existing gas-insulated switchgear is usually installed next to the circuit breaker cabinet with a voltage transformer cabinet. The installation is simple but it occupies the foundation space.
[0048] In view of this, this application provides a circuit breaker gas-filled cabinet 100 for measuring feeder side voltage, including a mounting box 1, a gas box 2, a voltage transformer 3, a transformer kit 4, and a connecting bushing 5. The gas box 2 is installed above the mounting box 1, and a circuit breaker 21 is installed inside the gas box 2. A feeder bushing 211 is installed at the bottom of the circuit breaker 21. The voltage transformer 3 is installed at the bottom of the mounting box 1. The transformer kit 4 is installed inside the mounting box 1 and is located on one side of the voltage transformer 3. One end of the transformer kit 4 is connected to the voltage transformer 3. One end of the connecting bushing 5 is connected to the other end of the transformer kit 4, and the other end of the connecting bushing 5 is connected to the feeder bushing 211.
[0049] According to some embodiments of this application, please refer to Figures 1 to 5 This embodiment relates to a circuit breaker gas-filled cabinet 100 for measuring feeder side voltage, including a mounting box 1, a gas box 2, a voltage transformer 3, a transformer kit 4, and a connecting bushing 5. The gas box 2 is installed above the mounting box 1, and a circuit breaker 21 is installed inside the gas box 2. A feeder bushing 211 is installed at the bottom of the circuit breaker 21. The voltage transformer 3 is installed at the bottom of the mounting box 1. The transformer kit 4 is installed inside the mounting box 1 and is located on one side of the voltage transformer 3. One end of the transformer kit 4 is connected to the voltage transformer 3. One end of the connecting bushing 5 is connected to the other end of the transformer kit 4, and the other end of the connecting bushing 5 is connected to the feeder bushing 211.
[0050] The circuit breaker gas-filled cabinet 100 for measuring feeder side voltage also includes an instrument box and a mechanism room. The instrument box and mechanism room are existing structures and will not be described in detail here.
[0051] Gas box 2 is fully enclosed and filled with insulating gas (such as sulfur hexafluoride SF6 or environmentally friendly alternative gases), which can ensure that the internal switches operate under various climatic conditions.
[0052] A voltage transformer is a special type of transformer used in power systems. Its core function is to convert high voltage to low voltage proportionally while maintaining the phase relationship between the primary and secondary voltages to facilitate the connection of measurement, protection, and control equipment.
[0053] The transformer kit 4 is fully shielded and touchable. Connecting the voltage transformer 3 and the bushing 5 through the transformer kit 4 ensures insulation performance and allows operation under various climatic conditions.
[0054] The other end of the connecting sleeve 5 extends into the gas box 2 and connects to the feeder sleeve 211. The connecting sleeve 5 can be made of epoxy resin casting or silicone rubber composite insulation structure to prevent leakage of insulating gas inside the gas box 2.
[0055] The current transformer kit 4 and the connecting bushing 5 are set up separately to facilitate the replacement of damaged parts individually, avoiding the high cost of replacing the whole unit.
[0056] The above technical solution involves installing a voltage transformer 3 at the bottom of the existing mounting box 1, thereby reducing the floor space required. Furthermore, the voltage transformer 3 is connected to the feeder bushing 211 via the transformer kit 4 and the connecting bushing 5, allowing the voltage transformer 3 to measure the feeder-side voltage.
[0057] like Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the circuit breaker gas-filled cabinet 100 for measuring feeder side voltage also includes a cable 6, which connects the other end of the current transformer kit 4 to one end of the connecting bushing 5.
[0058] Thus, cable 6 is flexible and can bend, making it more suitable for internal connections within the gas-insulated switchgear. Cable 6 typically has a metal shielding layer, which suppresses electric field radiation and external electromagnetic interference, protecting the stability of voltage signal transmission. Furthermore, if bushing 5 or transformer kit 4 fails, cable 6 can be disconnected and replaced individually, making the process more convenient.
[0059] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, three feeder bushings 211 are installed at the bottom of the circuit breaker 21, and three current transformer kits 4 and three connecting bushings 5 are provided. Each feeder bushing 211 corresponds to one current transformer kit 4 and one connecting bushing 5.
[0060] The voltage transformer 3 also has three bushings. Thus, the three-phase feeder bushing 211, transformer kit 4, and connecting bushing 5 are independently installed, achieving physical and electrical isolation and preventing phase-to-phase short circuits or electromagnetic interference. Furthermore, when repairing or replacing the feeder bushing 211, transformer kit 4, or connecting bushing 5 of a specific phase, only that phase needs to be shut down, without requiring a complete power outage, reducing the scope and duration of power outages.
[0061] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the cross-section of the current transformer kit 4 and the connecting bushing 5 is L-shaped.
[0062] In this way, components in different directions can be connected to the two sides of the L-shape, which facilitates connection and reduces the overall space occupied. The geometric characteristics of the L-shaped cross-section can enhance the resistance to bending and torsion, and disperse the mechanical stress from the feeder bushing 211 or external vibrations (such as the impact of the circuit breaker 21 opening and closing). In addition, the L-shaped corners can be equipped with shielding rings or rounded corners (to avoid sharp corners) to uniformly distribute the electric field and reduce partial discharge.
[0063] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the circuit breaker gas-filled cabinet 100 for measuring the voltage on the feeder side also includes a connecting strip 7, which connects the other end of the connecting bushing 5 to the feeder bushing 211.
[0064] Therefore, connector 7 is typically made of copper or aluminum, which can carry higher current and reduce heat loss caused by conductor resistance. Furthermore, connector 7 works in conjunction with connector sleeve 5 and feeder sleeve 211 to prevent surface creepage or breakdown. Optionally, connector 7 and feeder sleeve 211 are fixed by bolt crimping or welding, providing a large and stable contact area and preventing increased resistance and localized overheating due to loosening.
[0065] According to some embodiments of this application, optionally, an inspection door 11 is provided on the side of the mounting box 1.
[0066] Thus, by setting up the inspection door 11, it is convenient to install or repair the current transformer kit 4 and the connecting bushing 5 installed in the mounting box 1.
[0067] According to some embodiments of this application, optionally, the circuit breaker gas-filled cabinet 100 for measuring feeder side voltage also includes fasteners, and the voltage transformer 3 is detachably mounted on the bottom of the mounting box 1 by means of fasteners.
[0068] Thus, the voltage transformer 3 can be detachably mounted on the bottom of the mounting box 1 using fasteners, making it easier to disassemble or repair the voltage transformer 3. These fasteners can be bolts, studs, screws, etc.
[0069] According to some embodiments of this application, optionally, the circuit breaker gas-filled cabinet 100 for measuring feeder side voltage also includes a mounting base, and the voltage transformer 3 is mounted on the bottom of the mounting box 1 via the mounting base.
[0070] Thus, the mounting base provides rigid support for the voltage transformer 3, preventing displacement or tilting of the equipment due to vibrations during the operation of the circuit breaker 21 (such as opening and closing impacts) or external vibrations (such as earthquakes or equipment handling), ensuring long-term stable operation. In addition, the mounting base evenly distributes the weight of the voltage transformer 3 to the bottom of the mounting box 1, avoiding local stress concentration and protecting the structural integrity of the mounting box 1.
[0071] According to some embodiments of this application, optionally, a lockable caster is provided at each of the four corners of the mounting base.
[0072] This makes it easy to move the voltage transformer 3, which is mounted on the mounting base, into the mounting box 1, and then fix the position of the mounting base by locking the casters after it has been moved to the designated position.
[0073] It should be noted that although the above embodiments have been described herein, this does not limit the scope of patent protection for this utility model. Therefore, any changes and modifications made to the embodiments described herein based on the innovative concept of this utility model, or equivalent structural or procedural transformations made using the content of this utility model's specification and drawings, directly or indirectly applying the above technical solutions to other related technical fields, are all included within the scope of patent protection for this utility model.
