Description

Technology Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a fuse-embedded jumper cable for indirect live-line use and a method for replacing a COS using the same. More specifically, the invention relates to a fuse-embedded jumper cable for indirect live-line use and a method for replacing a COS using the same, which enables the uninterrupted replacement of a COS for distribution lines or pole-mounted transformers for indirect live-line use and uninterrupted power transmission of pole-mounted transformers within a bypass cable construction section. Background Technology

[0003] Direct live-line work is a method in which workers directly handle live wires carrying current with their hands while carrying out power distribution work.

[0004] Because direct live-line work poses risks such as electric shock and burns even when wearing insulating gloves and flame-retardant clothing, it is recently recommended to proceed with indirect live-line work.

[0005] Indirect live-line work can significantly reduce the risk of safety accidents by having workers use tools (such as smart sticks) from a distance of 2 to 3 meters instead of handling wires with their hands, and bypassing the section where electricity is being worked so that it does not flow (bypass cable method).

[0006] In other words, the 'indirect live-line method' is a technique in which a distribution uninterrupted (live-line) technician boards a live-line work vehicle and uses an insulating stick and tip tool to perform tasks such as cutting / compressing power lines, installing insulating covers, and protecting energized parts without contact.

[0007] However, the indirect live-line method has the problem of increasing labor costs because it takes longer to complete than the direct live-line method.

[0008] A cut-out switch (COS; hereinafter COS) used for power distribution refers to a fuse support device and may include a fuse link.

[0009] Distribution COS are classified into expulsion type and liquid-filled type, and currently, KEPCO uses expulsion-type open COS for 22.9kV lines.

[0010] In a discharge-type COS, when a fault current flows, the material on the inner wall of the fuse housing decomposes due to the arc heat generated as the fuse melts, thereby generating insulating gas. This gas suppresses the continuation of the arc and expands due to the heat to release ionized gas to the outside, extinguishing the arc and interrupting the current.

[0011] The conventional direct live-line COS uninterruptible replacement operation is as shown in Fig. 1.

[0012] First, the jumper cable support (10) is installed on the crossbar for the track.

[0013] Next, remove the branch ring cover (20) and install a temporary COS clamp on the branch ring compression part.

[0014] Next, the temporary COS lower stud bolt and the primary clamp of the jumper cable (30) are connected to each other.

[0015] Next, the secondary clamp of the jumper cable (30) is installed on the primary bushing metal part (40) of the pole transformer.

[0016] Next, the COS replacement work is performed.

[0017] As such, in the case of conventional technology, there are difficulties in indirect live-line work using indirect sticks because the total weight of the equipment required for replacement work is substantial.

[0018] Furthermore, such conventional technology had the disadvantage of requiring complex equipment and structures for uninterrupted operation, and due to the resulting difficulty of the work, there were also problems where worker safety was threatened and work efficiency was reduced.

[0019] Meanwhile, there was a disadvantage that an uninterruptible transformer was required when replacing the three-phase COS for such conventional transformers.

[0020] In other words, the inconvenience and uneconomical nature of requiring a separate uninterruptible power transformer vehicle for uninterruptible operation resulted. Prior art literature

[0051] Terms such as those defined in commonly used dictionaries should be interpreted as having meanings consistent with their meanings in the context of the relevant technology, and should not be interpreted in an ideal or overly formal sense unless explicitly defined in this application.

[0053] First, an indirect live-line COS replacement according to a preferred first embodiment of the present invention will be described.

[0054] FIG. 2 is a diagram showing the replacement of an indirect live line COS according to a preferred first embodiment of the present invention.

[0055] A transformer (111) is installed on the utility pole (110).

[0056] Meanwhile, the crossarm (115) is installed on the upper side of the utility pole (110), and a replacement target COS (114) is provided in the crossarm (115).

[0057] In addition, a crossbar is provided at the top of the pole (110), and a support member (116) is provided on the crossbar.

[0058] In addition, the distribution line section (117) is supported by an insulator on the upper crossarm of the utility pole (110).

[0059] The branch ring section (118) is installed in the distribution line section (117).

[0060] At this time, the replacement target COS (114) is the COS that is to be replaced.

[0061] In this case, the insulation stick part (210), secondary side clamp part (211), fuse link holder part (212), jumper cable (213), and clamp part (214) may be used for the replacement of the COS (114) to be replaced.

[0062] The secondary clamp portion (211) is provided to extend in the longitudinal direction of the insulating stick portion (210) from the front end of the insulating stick portion (210).

[0063] The fuse link holder portion (212) may be provided to extend upward perpendicularly to the longitudinal direction of the secondary clamp portion (211) between the secondary clamp portion (211) and the insulating stick portion (210).

[0064] At this time, a fuse may be embedded in the fuse link holder part (212).

[0065] In this case, it is desirable that the fuse be replaceable to match the transformer capacity.

[0066] The secondary clamp part (211) is fixed to the transformer primary bushing rapid part (112) provided at the top of the transformer (111).

[0067] At this time, it may be preferable for the insulating stick part (210), secondary clamp part (211), fuse link holder part (212) and jumper cable (213) to be connected to each other on the ground beforehand and then raised to the working position and connected to the transformer (111).

[0068] In this case, the weight of the insulating stick part (210), secondary side clamp part (211), fuse link holder part (212), jumper cable (213), and clamp part (214) is lighter and simpler compared to replacement equipment according to the prior art, so the effect of greatly improving workability can be achieved.

[0069] Meanwhile, the secondary clamp part (211) may preferably be made of copper.

[0070] More specifically, one end of a jumper cable (213) is connected to the upper end of the fuse link holder (212), and the other end of the jumper cable (213) is provided with a clamp part (214).

[0071] The clamp portion (214) can be temporarily fixed to the branch ring portion (118).

[0072] Meanwhile, the jumper cable (213) can be mounted on the support member (116).

[0073] Meanwhile, the length of the insulating stick portion (210) may preferably be 1.5 meters or more to facilitate indirect live-line work.

[0074] The indirect live-line COS replacement operation according to the first preferred embodiment of the present invention is as follows.

[0075] First, a secondary clamp part (211) and a fuse link holder part (212) are installed on the insulating stick part (210), and a jumper cable (213) is connected to the fuse link holder part (212). Then, the secondary clamp part (211) is fixed to the transformer primary bushing rapid part (112), which is the upper part of the transformer (111) provided on the utility pole (110).

[0076] Meanwhile, the jumper cable (213) is temporarily mounted on the support member (116), and the clamp member (214) is connected to the branch ring member (118).

[0077] In this way, a separate bypass path is formed in addition to the path passing through the existing COS wiring section (113) connected to the existing branch section (118), and the supply of current to the existing COS wiring section (113) is cut off.

[0078] Next, the replacement work of the replacement target COS (114) is completed by removing the insulation stick part (210), secondary side clamp part (211), fuse link holder part (212), jumper cable (213), and clamp part (214) that carried out the replacement work of the replacement target COS (114).

[0080] Next, a bypass bank transmission diagram according to a preferred second embodiment of the present invention will be described.

[0081] FIG. 3 is a bypass bank transmission view according to a preferred second embodiment of the present invention.

[0082] As shown in FIG. 3, in a bypass bank transmission according to a preferred second embodiment of the present invention, an insulating stick part (220), a secondary side clamp part (221), a fuse link holder part (222), a jumper cable (223), a clamp part (224), and a T-shaped connector part (300) may be used.

[0083] The insulating stick part (220), secondary side clamp part (221), fuse link holder part (222), jumper cable (223), and clamp part (224) can be prepared while connected to each other on the ground.

[0084] Meanwhile, a T-shaped connector (300) for uninterrupted power supply is provided on the ground.

[0085] That is, one end of the jumper cable (223) is connected to a T-shaped connector (300) provided on the ground, and the other end can be installed so that the clamp part (224) is detachably attached to the fuse link holder part (222).

[0086] Meanwhile, the secondary clamp part (221) may preferably be made of copper.

[0087] A transformer (121) is provided in the electric pole (120).

[0088] A transformer primary bushing rapid section (122) is provided at the top of the transformer (121).

[0089] The replacement target COS (124) is provided at one end of the crossarm (125) provided at the top of the electric pole (120).

[0090] The replacement target COS (124) is the COS that is to be replaced.

[0091] Meanwhile, one end of the existing COS wiring section (123) is connected to the upper end of the transformer primary bushing rapid section (122), and the other end is connected to the branch ring cover section (127) provided on the distribution line section (126).

[0092] In this case, the replacement work of the replacement target COS (124) is explained.

[0093] First, a secondary clamp part (221) is provided on one side of the insulating stick part (220) on the ground, and a fuse link holder part (222) is provided between the secondary clamp part (221) and the insulating stick part (220).

[0094] More specifically, one end of the fuse link holder (222) is connected to the portion between the secondary clamp portion (221) and the insulating stick portion (220), and the other end is connected to the clamp portion (224) while extending toward the ground.

[0095] One end of the jumper cable (223) is connected to the fuse link holder (222) by the clamp part (224), and the other end is connected to the ground T-shaped connector part (300).

[0096] Meanwhile, the T-shaped connector (300) plays the role of transmitting power by directly connecting to the transformer side instead of the mobile vehicle transformer within the bypass section.

[0097] Therefore, since the T-type connector part (300) is used, a separate uninterruptible transformer vehicle like the conventional one is not required.

[0098] The operator can easily connect the secondary clamp part (221) to the transformer primary bushing rapid part (122) using the insulation stick part (220), secondary clamp part (221), fuse link holder part (222), jumper cable (223), and clamp part (224) that are pre-assembled on the ground.

[0099] At this time, the worker uses the insulating stick part (220) to allow the secondary clamp part (221) to be assembled to the transformer primary bushing rapid part (122).

[0100] Meanwhile, the length of the insulating stick portion (220) may preferably be 1.5 meters or more to facilitate indirect live-line work.

[0101] At this time, a fuse may be embedded in the fuse link holder part (222).

[0102] In this case, it is desirable that the fuse be replaceable to match the transformer capacity.

[0103] In this way, by using the insulating stick part (220), the secondary clamp part (221) is connected to the upper part of the transformer primary bushing rapid part (122), and the jumper cable (223) is connected between the fuse link holder part (222) and the T-shaped connector part (300), so that the replacement target COS (124) can be replaced without interruption.

[0104] After replacing the COS (124) to be replaced, the replacement work of the COS (124) to be replaced can be completed by separating the insulation stick part (220), secondary side clamp part (221), fuse link holder part (222), jumper cable (223), clamp part (224), and T-shaped connector part (300) again.

[0105] According to the bypass bank transmission according to the preferred second embodiment of the present invention, the advantage is that work can be easily performed without requiring a separate uninterruptible transformer vehicle like the existing one.

[0106] In other words, it reduces working time compared to installing uninterruptible power transformers, and by resolving the problem of excessive working time—a disadvantage of existing indirect live-line systems—it improves the application rate of indirect live-line systems, ultimately leading to improved construction quality.

[0107] In addition, the uninterruptible power supply equipment is simplified and can be applied to indirect live lines, allowing the overall operation to be streamlined.

[0108] Ultimately, this results in budget savings, reduced worker fatigue, and the prevention of safety accidents through indirect live-line work. Explanation of the symbols
