Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of reactor technology, specifically relating to a leakage current limiting reactor. Background Technology

[0002] DC power systems in shipboard integrated power systems are increasingly used due to their high efficiency and good performance. However, the protection design of shipboard DC power systems faces the challenge that traditional fault detection and protection technologies based on conventional circuit breakers are no longer applicable. In shipboard integrated power systems, reactors are used to limit current in the circuit and also serve as filters. However, existing reactors lack effective leakage current detection and protection functions during use; when leakage occurs, it may lead to safety accidents. Furthermore, their current limiting effect is not ideal and cannot adequately handle various abnormal current conditions. Therefore, this invention proposes a leakage current limiting reactor.

Circuit breakers CB1 and CB2 are installed in the main circuit. Secondly, the leakage current detection and protection module includes a current transformer TA1, a rectifier bridge UR1, and a coil KA1. The current transformer TA1 is sleeved on the conductor of the main circuit, and its output terminal is connected to the input terminal of the rectifier bridge UR1. The output terminal of the rectifier bridge UR1 is connected to the coil of the coil KA1. The normally open contact of the coil KA1 is connected in parallel with the circuit breaker CB1. The leakage current detection and protection module is connected to the main circuit and is used to detect leakage current in the main circuit and trigger protection action. Meanwhile, a current limiting module is connected in series in the main circuit to limit abnormal current in the main circuit; The IGBT drive module is connected in series in the main circuit, and its control terminal is connected to the controller. The input terminal of the voltage acquisition module is connected to the output terminal of the main circuit, and the output terminal is connected to the signal input terminal of the controller.

[0005] Furthermore, the leakage current detection and protection module also includes capacitors C2 and C3 and thyristor VT1; capacitor C2 is connected in series between the current transformer TA1 and the rectifier bridge UR1; capacitor C3 is connected in parallel at the output terminal of the rectifier bridge UR1; and thyristor VT1 is connected in series between the rectifier bridge UR1 and the pull-in coil KA1.

[0010] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has the following advantages: 1. This utility model improves the accuracy of leakage current detection and the reliability of protection action by dividing the leakage current detection and protection module into three sub-units: current sensing, signal processing, and actuator. The current limiting module adopts a combination of LC passive current limiting and IGBT active current limiting, which ensures both steady-state current limiting effect and rapid response to transient current anomalies. The independent design of each module facilitates maintenance and replacement, reducing subsequent operation and maintenance costs. Furthermore, the use of the KA1 coil to directly drive the circuit breaker CB1 reduces intermediate links compared to relays, resulting in faster response speed and further improving the timeliness of leakage current protection.

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances. Example

[0016] like Figure 1-2 As shown, a leakage current limiting reactor includes a main circuit, a leakage current detection and protection module, a current limiting module, a voltage acquisition module, a controller, and an IGBT drive module. The main circuit has an input terminal A and an output terminal B. Circuit breakers CB1 and CB2 are installed in the main circuit. Secondly, the leakage current detection and protection module includes a current transformer TA1, a rectifier bridge UR1, and a coil KA1. The current transformer TA1 is sleeved on the conductor of the main circuit, and its output terminal is connected to the input terminal of the rectifier bridge UR1. The output terminal of the rectifier bridge UR1 is connected to the coil of the coil KA1. The normally open contact of the coil KA1 is connected in parallel with the circuit breaker CB1. The leakage current detection and protection module is connected to the main circuit and is used to detect leakage current in the main circuit and trigger protection action. Meanwhile, a current limiting module is connected in series in the main circuit to limit abnormal current in the main circuit; The IGBT drive module is connected in series in the main circuit, and its control terminal is connected to the controller. The input terminal of the voltage acquisition module is connected to the output terminal of the main circuit, and the output terminal is connected to the signal input terminal of the controller.

[0017] Furthermore, the leakage current detection and protection module also includes capacitors C2 and C3 and thyristor VT1; capacitor C2 is connected in series between the current transformer TA1 and the rectifier bridge UR1; capacitor C3 is connected in parallel at the output terminal of the rectifier bridge UR1; and thyristor VT1 is connected in series between the rectifier bridge UR1 and the pull-in coil KA1.

[0018] The current limiting module includes a capacitor C1, an inductor L1, and a metal oxide varistor MOV; the capacitor C1 and the inductor L1 are connected in series and then connected to the main circuit; the metal oxide varistor MOV is connected in parallel in the series circuit of the capacitor C1 and the inductor L1.

[0019] Furthermore, the IGBT drive module includes an IGBT module and a drive circuit; the IGBT module includes IGBT transistors Q41 and Q42, which are connected in anti-parallel; the input terminal of the drive circuit is connected to the controller, and the output terminal is connected to the control electrode of the IGBT module.

[0020] The controller is a microcontroller or a PLC controller; the voltage acquisition module is a voltage sensor or a voltage divider resistor network.

[0021] Secondly, the rectifier bridge UR1 is a full-bridge rectifier circuit, consisting of four diodes D1-D4; diodes D1 and D3 are connected in reverse series, and diodes D2 and D4 are connected in reverse series, and the two sets of series circuits are then connected in parallel to form a rectifier circuit.

[0022] like Figures 1-2As shown, the working principle of this utility model is as follows: In the leakage current detection and protection module, the current transformer TA1 adopts a toroidal iron core structure, and the main circuit conductor passes through the center of the iron core. When the main circuit is working normally, the current of the live wire and the neutral wire are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction, and the induced electromotive force on the secondary side of the current transformer TA1 cancels each other out. When leakage occurs, the zero-sequence current induces a current on the secondary side of the current transformer TA1, which is filtered by capacitor C2 and then enters the rectifier bridge UR1. The rectifier bridge UR1 converts the alternating current into direct current, which is smoothed and filtered by capacitor C3 and then applied to the anode of the thyristor VT1. When the voltage reaches the thyristor trigger threshold, the thyristor VT1 conducts, energizing the coil KA1. The coil KA1 generates electromagnetic force to drive the circuit breaker CB1 to operate, cutting off the main circuit.

[0023] In the current limiting module, capacitor C1 is a high-frequency non-inductive capacitor, and inductor L1 uses a nanocrystalline alloy core. The resonant frequency of the LC circuit formed by the two matches the fundamental frequency of the power grid, which can effectively suppress the rate of increase of short-circuit current. The operating voltage of the metal oxide varistor (MOV) is set to 1.5-2 times the rated voltage of the power grid. When an overvoltage occurs in the line, the resistance of the MOV drops sharply, clamping the voltage within a safe range and diverting part of the current.

[0024] In the IGBT driver module, IGBTs Q41 and Q42 are reverse-conducting devices. The driver circuit includes an optocoupler isolation unit and a gate drive unit. The controller adjusts the IGBT conduction angle through a PWM signal to dynamically limit the main circuit current. The voltage acquisition module monitors the voltage at the B terminal in real time and transmits it to the controller. When an abnormal voltage is detected, the controller quickly shuts off the IGBT module through the driver circuit, forming a dual protection system in conjunction with the current limiting module.

[0025] The above are merely embodiments of this utility model.
