Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of circuit breaker testing and maintenance technology, and in particular to a circuit breaker anti-pumping test circuit. Background Technology
[0002] Circuit breaker closing circuits are generally designed with anti-pumping functionality to prevent abnormal repeated closing of the circuit breaker. To ensure the reliable operation of the anti-pumping circuit, it is necessary to conduct anti-pumping function verification work in conjunction with the circuit breaker's scheduled maintenance. The anti-pumping test method simulates the closing contacts sticking together, and then by applying a fault quantity to the protection device, the protection device is activated to trip the circuit breaker. Observing whether the circuit breaker continues to close determines whether the anti-pumping function is normal.
[0003] The commonly used method is to switch the circuit breaker operation mode to a remote location and manually short-circuit the remote closing contact of the control box to simulate contact adhesion. However, the existing method has the following disadvantages: 1. Manually shorting the closing contact poses a risk of accidental short-circuiting, which may cause personal injury or accidental tripping of the operating switch; 2. Manually shorting the closing contact has low testing efficiency, requires multiple personnel to cooperate, and in severe cases may even affect the timeliness of equipment commissioning and the stability of power grid operation.
[0004] Therefore, there is a need for a circuit breaker anti-pumping test circuit that can eliminate the risk of accidental short circuits, improve operational efficiency, and ensure the safety of personnel and equipment to meet the needs of the current working environment. Utility Model Content

[0006] Given that the above-mentioned existing technologies involve manually shorting the circuit breaker contacts, there is a risk of accidental short-circuiting, which may cause personal injury or accidental tripping of operating switches.

[0043] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0044] Example 1
[0045] Reference Figure 1 This embodiment provides a circuit breaker anti-pumping test circuit.
[0046] The on / off circuit 1 is responsible for controlling the closing and opening operations of the circuit breaker. It is usually controlled remotely by the operator. The output of the on / off circuit 1 is connected to the relay module 11 so that the opening and closing control signal can be transmitted to the circuit breaker control closing circuit 12. The fault simulation circuit 2 receives the externally input fault signal and summarizes it to the protection terminal 21 to simulate the fault situation in actual operation.
[0047] The input interface of fault simulation circuit 2 adopts a standardized digital signal input method, which is compatible with a variety of common fault signal formats. Through a dedicated signal conditioning unit, fault signals from different sources are adapted and processed to ensure the accuracy and real-time performance of the signals. The operation auxiliary assembly 3 is connected in parallel to the on / off circuit 1, which can assist in completing complex operation tasks, replace the existing manual short-circuit action, and reduce the need for manual intervention.
[0048] During the circuit breaker anti-pumping test, the original manual short-circuiting can be replaced by operating the auxiliary assembly 3 to connect and simulate the sticking of the closing contacts. A fault signal is input into the fault simulation circuit 2, and the fault signal enters the protection terminal 21 from the output terminal of the fault simulation circuit 2.
[0049] After receiving a fault signal, the protection terminal 21 will trip the circuit breaker. At this time, the staff can observe whether the circuit breaker continues to close to determine whether the circuit anti-pumping function is normal.
[0050] Example 2
[0051] Reference Figures 1-4 This embodiment is based on the previous embodiment, and differs from the previous embodiment in that:
[0052] The operating auxiliary assembly 3 includes an adjusting switch 31 and an adjusting plate 32. The input terminal of the adjusting switch 31 is connected in parallel with the switching circuit 1, and the output terminal of the adjusting switch 31 is matched with the input terminal of the adjusting plate 32. The output terminal of the adjusting plate 32 is also connected in parallel with the switching circuit 1. This design allows the operator to precisely control the current of the switching circuit 1 by adjusting the adjusting switch 31 and the adjusting plate 32, thereby realizing the simulated operation of the circuit breaker closing circuit, achieving connection and simulating contact adhesion without manual short-circuiting.
[0053] The relay module 11 includes a start switch 111. One end of the start switch 111 is connected to the circuit breaker control closing circuit 12. When the start switch 111 is activated, the on / off circuit 1 and the circuit breaker control closing circuit 12 are connected. The circuit breaker control closing circuit 12 receives the closing command, thereby triggering the closing action of the circuit breaker. This design ensures the controllability and safety of the test circuit.
[0054] The fault simulation circuit 2 connects the circuit breaking control closing circuit 12 and the protection terminal 21. A set of signal input terminals 211 is also fixedly installed between the protection terminal 21 and the circuit breaking control closing circuit 12. The signal input terminals 211 are still located on the fault simulation circuit 2. The fault simulation module 6 is connected to the signal input terminals 211 and inputs the fault simulation signal along the fault simulation circuit 2 through the signal input terminals 211.
[0055] The fault simulation module 6 can generate various types of fault signals, such as short circuits, overloads, and grounding faults. These signals are simulated using precise current and voltage regulators, ensuring the realism of the fault signals. For example, during a short circuit fault simulation, the module can generate a high current in a short time, triggering the protection terminal 21.
[0056] In this scheme, the simulated fault signal is mainly an overcurrent signal, exceeding the safe current value. Therefore, it can trigger the protection action of the protection terminal 21. The protection terminal 21 has a built-in microprocessor that can monitor and analyze the input simulated fault signal in real time. When a fault signal is detected, the protection terminal 21 immediately executes the preset logic judgment, closes the internal node, and outputs a trip command. This process simulates the rapid response of an actual protection device when a fault is detected.
[0057] Example 3
[0058] Reference Figures 1-6 This embodiment is based on the previous embodiment, and differs from the previous embodiment in that:
[0059] The protection terminal 21 integrates advanced protection logic circuitry. When a fault simulation signal is detected, the protection logic circuitry activates a trip command. This trip command is output through a dedicated trip output terminal 212. The trip output terminal 212 employs a highly reliable, low-contact-resistance connector design to ensure stable transmission of the trip signal.
[0060] After the trip command is output through the trip output terminal 212, it enters the signal extension circuit 4. The output of the signal extension circuit 4 transmits the trip command to the circuit breaker control circuit 41. The circuit breaker control circuit 41 is designed with a dedicated signal processing unit that can receive and verify the validity of the trip command. Once the verification is successful, the circuit breaker control circuit will execute the circuit breaker's tripping operation.
[0061] The output terminals of the circuit breaker control closing circuit 12 and the circuit breaker control opening circuit 41 are respectively connected to the circuit breaker control circuit 5. The circuit breaker control circuit 5 is one of the core parts of the circuit breaker control system, and is responsible for receiving and executing closing and opening commands.
[0062] The closing command first enters the main closing and tripping circuit 5 through the circuit breaker control closing circuit 12, triggering the closing action of the circuit breaker. Subsequently, if the protection terminal 21 detects a fault signal and issues a tripping command, the tripping command will enter the main closing and tripping circuit 5 through the circuit breaker control tripping circuit 41, executing the tripping action of the circuit breaker. During the closing and tripping operations of the circuit breaker, the operator can observe the closing and tripping actions of the circuit breaker to test its anti-pumping function.
[0063] This embodiment details the components and working principles of the circuit breaker anti-pumping test circuit, incorporating electrical terminology and technical details to ensure clarity and operability. Through the coordinated operation of the signal extension circuit 4, trip output terminal 212, circuit breaker control circuit 41, and the main opening and closing circuit 5, this invention can efficiently and safely simulate and test the anti-pumping function of the circuit breaker, providing strong support for the stable operation of the power system. This technical solution not only improves the efficiency and safety of the test but also reduces operation and maintenance costs, and has broad application prospects.
[0064] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solution of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of this utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
