The multiple copper busbars are arranged side by side along the longitudinal direction of the base. The cable support frame is located close to the copper busbars. The current transformer connection copper busbar and the transfer connection piece are separately located on both sides of the copper busbars.
[0007] The current transformer wiring busbar is connected to the intermediate connection component via a first connecting cable, and the outgoing copper busbar is connected to the intermediate connection component via a second connecting cable.

For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model can be understood according to the specific circumstances.
[0023] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 This utility model discloses a junction box for a diesel generator in a nuclear power plant, comprising a base 1, two connection ports 2, multiple outgoing copper busbars 3, multiple cable support frames 4, multiple current transformer connection copper busbars 5, and a transfer connector 6. The multiple outgoing copper busbars 3, multiple cable support frames 4, multiple current transformer connection copper busbars 5, and the transfer connector 6 are all installed within the base 1. The two connection ports 2 are separately located on both sides of the middle position of the base 1. The multiple outgoing copper busbars 3 are located between the two connection ports 2, arranged side-by-side along the longitudinal direction of the base 1. The cable support frames 4 are located close to the outgoing copper busbars 3. The current transformer connection copper busbars 5 and the transfer connector 6 are separately located on both sides of the outgoing copper busbars 3. The current transformer connection copper busbars 5 are connected to the transfer connector 6 via a first connecting cable 71, and the outgoing copper busbars 3 are connected to the transfer connector 6 via a second connecting cable 72. The first connecting cable 71 is fixed to the cable support frame 4 with the middle portion of the second connecting cable 72.
[0024] Specifically, the base 1 is a rectangular frame, with two symmetrically arranged terminals 2 at its two ends. The copper busbar 3, near the terminal 2, has multiple cable holes 31 for connecting external cables. These cables pass through the terminal 2 and connect to external mechanisms. One end of the external cable is connected to the cable hole 31, and the other end is connected to the external mechanism. Operators connect the external cable to the cable hole 31 according to the desired cable direction to achieve dual-sided cable output. The cable holes 31 are located on the end of the copper busbar 3 near the terminal 2 for easy wiring. Furthermore, the copper busbar 3 is connected to the base 1 via insulators 32.
[0025] In this embodiment, there are three outgoing copper busbars 3, which are used to connect the U-phase, V-phase, and W-phase of the generator, respectively. The number of cable support frames 4 is three columns corresponding to the number of outgoing copper busbars 3. The outgoing copper busbars 3 and cable support frames 4 are arranged crosswise. The middle portions of the first connecting cable 71 and the second connecting cable 72 can be fixed to the cable support frame 4 using clips or bolts. The height of the cable support frame 4 is higher than the height of the outgoing copper busbars 3, so that the first connecting cable 71 and the second connecting cable 72 can cross the outgoing copper busbars 3 for wiring. This effectively separates the input cables, optimizes the internal wiring method, and makes the internal wiring more aesthetically pleasing and safer.
[0026] Among them, there are three current transformer wiring copper busbars 5, three first connecting cables 71 and three second connecting cables 72. The three first connecting cables 71 are respectively connected to the wiring holes of the three current transformer wiring copper busbars 5 and the intermediate wiring component 6. The three second connecting cables 72 are respectively connected to the wiring holes of the three intermediate wiring components 6 and the three outgoing copper busbars 3.
[0027] The junction box of the diesel generator in the nuclear power plant also includes a current transformer 10 installed in the base 1. The current transformer 10 is electrically connected to the current transformer busbar 5 and is used to sense the generator output current.
[0028] The junction box for the diesel generator in the nuclear power plant also includes protective covers 9 installed on the two connection ports 2 to protect the external connection cables.
[0029] The junction box for the nuclear power plant's diesel generator also includes a measurement output interface 8 located on the base 1. All temperature sensing element leads and CT secondary side leads can be connected to this measurement output interface 8. Operators can connect monitoring devices to the measurement output interface 8 to monitor various generator data. More specifically, the current transformer wiring busbar 5 is located in the high-voltage wiring area of the junction box, while the measurement output interface 8 is located in the low-voltage wiring area of the junction box.
[0030] The lateral spacing of the base 1 is 2400mm to 2800mm. Preferably, the lateral spacing of the base 1 is 2550mm, which is larger than that of a typical junction box, so that more cables can be arranged.
[0031] Understandably, the junction box for the diesel generator in this nuclear power plant separates the two connection ports 2 on either side of the middle of the base 1, allowing external connection cables to exit from both sides. This eliminates the increased cost of replacing the junction box due to changes in wiring direction, solves the interchangeability problem between generators, reduces the procurement cost of spare parts for at least one generator, and improves the reliability of emergency diesel generator sets. Simultaneously, multiple copper busbars 3 are positioned between the two connection ports 2, facilitating bidirectional wiring of external connection cables. The cable support frame 4 allows the first connection cable 71 and the second connection cable 72 to cross the copper busbars 3 for wiring, effectively separating the input cables, optimizing the internal wiring method, and making the internal wiring more aesthetically pleasing and safer.
[0032] It is understood that the above embodiments only illustrate preferred embodiments of the present utility model, and their descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present utility model patent. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, the above technical features can be freely combined, and several modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the present utility model, all of which fall within the protection scope of the present utility model. Therefore, all equivalent transformations and modifications made within the scope of the claims of the present utility model should fall within the coverage of the claims of the present utility model.
