The invention discloses an
overvoltage protection device for a dry-type hollow
shunt reactor, which belongs to the technical field of
overvoltage protection of
power transmission and transformation equipment, and is characterized in that when an operation
overvoltage occurs in a
system, a frequency absorption unit can reduce the oscillation frequency of the overvoltage, slow down the rising
leading edge of the overvoltage, and solve the damage of a high-frequency component to a reactor winding; when the frequency absorption unit cannot restrain the overvoltage
peak value, the overvoltage absorption unit plays a role in limiting the overvoltage
peak value and enhancing the insulation level of the reactor, and through the application of the
voltage monitoring conversion unit, when the reactor operates normally or the overvoltage is lower than an operation threshold value, the high-speed
control switch is switched on, and the high-speed
control switch is switched off. The explosion-proof separation unit is bypassed by a
short circuit, and the frequency suppression absorption unit and the overvoltage absorption unit undertake the main protection task; when the monitored
voltage exceeds a set threshold value or the absorption unit has a fault or
thermal breakdown, the high-speed
control switch is switched off, the explosion-proof separation unit is connected to the circuit, the fault unit is timely
cut off, and fault extension is prevented.
