Existing voltage sampling interfaces for wind-cooled doubly-fed induction generators mainly include grid voltage sampling interfaces, DC bus voltage sampling interfaces, filter capacitor voltage sampling interfaces, and stator voltage sampling interfaces, but they generally suffer from the following shortcomings:
[0003] 1. Insufficient protection: Only the grid voltage sampling interface is equipped with a fuse, while other interfaces rely on the main circuit for protection, which cannot quickly cut off the short-circuit current;
[0004] 2. Weak cable protection: The cable passage hole is not equipped with a special protective sleeve, and the cable is easily cut by vibration or external force;
[0005] 3. Fault propagation: Metal debris generated by short-circuit arcing contaminates the insulation environment, leading to cascading failures.
[0006] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a device that integrates fuse protection and cable protection to overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies. Utility Model Content

They are only for the purpose of describing this utility model and simplifying the description.

[0043] See Figure 1-5 As shown;
[0044] The voltage sampling interface protection device for the doubly fed converter of the wind turbine generator set includes a fuse 1, a DC bus voltage sampling interface 2, a capacitor voltage sampling interface 3, a stator voltage sampling interface 4, a cable 5, a DIN rail bracket 6, and a protective component 7. The three fuses 1 are connected in series on the voltage divider circuit side at the front end of the DC bus voltage sampling interface 2, the capacitor voltage sampling interface 3, and the stator voltage sampling interface 4, respectively. The fuses 1 are fixedly installed in the external terminal box of the doubly fed converter control box through the DIN rail bracket 6. The DIN rail bracket 6 adopts a modular bracket for mounting on DIN standard rails. The protective component 7 is installed at the through hole of the cable 5, which can effectively prevent the cable 5 from being cut or falling off.
[0045] Specifically, the protective component 7 includes a corrugated pipe 71, a double-layer silicone rubber protective sleeve 72, and a snap-on insulating sleeve 73. The corrugated pipe 71, the double-layer silicone rubber protective sleeve 72, and the snap-on insulating sleeve 73 are arranged sequentially from the inside to the outside. The cable 5 is inserted into the corrugated pipe 71. The snap-on insulating sleeve 73 is fixed to the external terminal box by bolts. The inner wall of the corrugated pipe 71 that contacts the cable 5 is coated with an anti-wear coating, which can reduce the friction coefficient generated by the direct contact between the cable 5 and the corrugated pipe 71 and extend the service life.
[0046] The double-layer silicone rubber protective sleeve 72 has a hardness of 60±5 Shore A, which meets the vibration protection standard of IEC60068-2-6; the outer diameter of the cable 5 is R1, the bending radius of the cable 5 is R2, and R2>5R1.
[0047] Furthermore, the fuse 1 can be Schneider Electric's AC10XLgPV5 model.
[0048] The PCB trace width for connecting terminal 1 of the fuse is 2mm, and the copper foil thickness is 70μm.
[0049] The fuse element material of the fusible element type 1 is a silver alloy quartz sand filled structure;
[0050] The rated voltage of fuse 1 is 1500V and the rated current is 5A;
[0051] The maximum permissible short-circuit current that the fuse-type circuit breaker 1 can reliably interrupt is 3000A, and its response time t < 10ms.
[0052] Specifically, the fuse 1 is covered with a sheath 8, which is made of polyimide and has a thickness of 0.5mm. The sheath 8 can withstand an instantaneous arc temperature of T, where T > 1200℃. The polyimide material has high insulation performance and can withstand high temperatures of over 400℃, effectively protecting the fuse 1 for use.
[0053] The working principle and usage procedure of the voltage sampling interface protection device for the doubly fed converter of the wind turbine generator set: When the fuse protection is activated, if a short circuit or overload occurs at the DC bus voltage sampling interface 2, capacitor voltage sampling interface 3, and stator voltage sampling interface 4, the fuse 1 will melt within 10ms, cutting off the fault current and preventing arcing from spreading; the double-layer silicone rubber protective sleeve 72 buffers vibration through the inner corrugated pipe 71 and works with the outer snap-on insulating sleeve 73 to fix the cable 5, preventing the cable 5 from being cut or falling off; after the fuse 1 fails, it can be quickly replaced through the DIN rail bracket 6, effectively shortening the downtime.
[0054] The voltage sampling interface protection device of this wind turbine generator set enhances the protection characteristics of the grid-side voltage sampling interface by adding fuse-type fuses 1 to the DC bus voltage sampling interface 2, capacitor voltage sampling interface 3 and stator voltage sampling interface 4 respectively, and optimizes the protection of cable 5 by setting a double-layer silicone rubber protective sleeve 72. The DIN rail bracket 6 is formed by DIN standard rails and brackets to realize the modular design of fuses, which significantly reduces the failure rate of the converter and is suitable for doubly fed converter systems in high vibration and high humidity environments.
[0055] The foregoing description only illustrates certain exemplary embodiments of the present invention. Undoubtedly, those skilled in the art can modify the described embodiments in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the above drawings and descriptions are illustrative in nature and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
