[0002] A resistor is a current-limiting element. When a resistor is connected in a circuit, its resistance value is fixed. It usually has two leads and can limit the amount of current passing through the branch it is connected to.
[0003] The resistance value of the resistors used in circuit breakers is fixed. The resistors are cylindrical, one-piece molded resistors. Multiple resistors are connected to copper busbars to form a parallel resistor. If you want to select a resistor with a different resistance value according to your needs, you need to remanufacture the resistors and assemble them, which consumes a lot of manpower and resources. Utility Model Content

[0010] Optionally, the outer surface of the electrode is provided with external threads, and the fixing nut is threadedly connected to the outside of the electrode.
[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the fixed connection between the fixing nut and the connecting core is achieved, while the resistor is confined between the two copper busbars.

[0027] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-7 This application will be described in further detail.
[0028] This application discloses a carbon composite energy-absorbing resistor. The carbon composite energy-absorbing resistor includes a connecting core 1, resistive sheets 2, aluminum foil sheets 3, copper busbars 4, and a fixing nut 5. There are multiple resistive sheets 2 and multiple aluminum foil sheets 3, each divided into four groups. The four groups of resistive sheets 2 are arranged sequentially, with the axes of each group of resistive sheets 2 coinciding. An aluminum foil sheet 3 is sandwiched between adjacent resistive sheets 2 in each group, with the axis of each aluminum foil sheet 3 coinciding with the axis of the corresponding group of resistive sheets 2. The four groups of resistive sheets 2 are arranged sequentially, and a connecting hole 6 is provided at the center of each resistive sheet 2 and the center of each aluminum foil sheet 3. There are four connecting cores 1, each passing through one of the four groups of resistive sheets 2, thus achieving the purpose of connecting the resistive sheets 2 and aluminum foil sheets 3. In this embodiment, each group of resistors 2 consists of thirteen pieces. The aluminum foil 3 is used for heat dissipation, with a temperature rise of <700K. The operating environment is as follows: voltage ≤6KV, current ≤200A, pulse width ≤6ms, frequency ≤50Hz, continuous use time ≤15s, and usage interval ≥40min.
[0029] Furthermore, there are two copper busbars 4. The two ends of the connecting core 1 pass through the two copper busbars 4. The two ends of the connecting core 1 are set as electrodes 11. The cross-section of the electrodes 11 is made of aluminum spraying or copper spraying technology. The electrodes 11 can achieve the purpose of conducting electricity. The outer surface of the electrodes 11 is provided with external threads. The fixing nut 5 is threaded to the outside of the electrodes 11. The connecting core 1 passes through the connecting hole 6 and is threaded to the fixing nut 5. The fixing nut 5 is threaded to the two ends of the connecting core 1, realizing the fixed connection between the fixing nut 5 and the connecting core 1, while restricting the resistor 2 between the two copper busbars 4.
[0030] The connecting core 1 between the two electrodes 11 is made of glass fiber, which is an insulator. This enables the four sets of resistors 2 to be connected in parallel and the resistors 2 in the same set to be connected in series, thus realizing the basic function of the resistor.
[0031] When the user needs to adjust the resistance value of the resistor, the fixing nut 5 is removed from both ends of the connecting core 1, the copper busbar 4 is released from the constraint of each group of resistor pieces 2, and the number of each group of resistor pieces 2 is increased or decreased according to the user's needs, so as to change the resistance value of the resistor. The user does not need to re-fire the resistor, which makes it convenient for the user to adjust the resistance value of the resistor.
[0032] The resistor 2 is made of carbon composite ceramic material. Due to the non-inductive properties of carbon composite ceramic, the operating frequency of this application can reach the megahertz range, which enables the application to absorb high pulse energy and is suitable for harsh working environments such as strong pulse overload.
[0033] The technical parameters of resistor 2 are shown in the table below, where Do is the outer diameter of resistor 2 and Di is the diameter of the connecting hole 6 on resistor 2.
[0034]
[0035] Depending on the user's different requirements and parameters, including but not limited to pulse injection energy and load power, select the appropriate size of resistor 2 and the number of resistors 2 in each group, and use a glass fiber insulating bracket or directly fix it with copper busbar 4.
[0036] Reference surface temperature profile of resistor 2 Figure 7 Among them, the maximum voltage withstand per unit thickness (Vw) is:
[0037] Voltage (ms): Vw (air) = 0.87 * (R / T * A / L) 0.3 KV / cm (T is the duration of the voltage waveform)
[0038] Voltage (impulse): Vw(air) = 4.3* 1.2 (log(R / T*A / L))kV / cm(1.2 / 50us waveform)
[0039] Vw (air) = 3.0 * log(R / 2.54 * A / L) kV / cm (50 / 1000µs waveform)
[0040] Vw (air) = 1.5 * log(R / 2.54 * A / L) 1.25 KV / cm (100 / 10000us waveform)
[0041] Where A is the cross-sectional area of the conductor path (cm²) 2 ), where L is the length of the conductor path (cm).
[0042] Cooling time: Thermal time constant: Γ(s)=Emax(25℃) / Wmax(25℃), where Emax(25℃): energy injected at ambient temperature, Wmax(25℃): nominal power at ambient temperature, cooling duration: t≥4Γ.
[0043] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
