The on off sequence corresponding to the sequence used in the change over switch 115 of Fig. 2 illustrates in the figure 7.
In figure 3, the example of selector-switching mode tap change 100 is schematically illustrated.In selector-switching mode tap change 100, adopt the selector installation of selector switch unit 300 form to adopt removable mode to be connected between current collector 125 with fixed contact 135, make selector switch unit 300 can via current collector 125 optionally in fixed contact 135 selected by one be connected with providing between external contact 155.External contact 155 is connected to current collector 125.Thus via selector switch unit 300, external contact 155 can be connected to one in fixed contact 135 at every turn.The selector switch unit 300 of Fig. 3 comprises Liang Ge branch: main split 160a and transition branch 160b.Main split 160a and transition branch 160b is connected to current collector 125 at first end 305, and both comprise movable contact 130(at the other end and are called movable contact 130a and 130b).The each each self energy of movable contact 130a, b is connected to one in fixed contact 135.

The different embodiments of illustrated switching device 115,300 share the common trait comprising at least one transition resistance 150 in fig. 1-3, and the employing of this at least one transition resistance 150 makes transition resistance 150 only during tap conversion operations, connect such mode in load current path and main switch 140 is connected in parallel.Other designs many for the switching device of tap change are also available and possible.But, no matter use the design of which change over switch and on off sequence, transition resistance 150 by be never formed in tap conversion operations complete time the part-resistance loss of main path set up will be too large.
As mentioned above, need tap change, it can tackle frequent switch and not emit switching device by due to overheated and risk that is that damage.
According to the present invention, be provided for the switching device carrying tap change, wherein this switching device provides:
L main path, it is included in the main switch be connected in series in this main path;
L migration path, it comprises transition inductor and transition switch, and this transition switch and transition inductor are connected in series; Wherein
The impedance of l migration path is higher than the impedance of main path;
The impedance of l migration path mainly irritability; And
L main switch is compact disconnect;
L main switch and transition inductor are connected in parallel; When making to disconnect main switch when closed transition switch, the load current flowing through main path will commutate to migration path.
By providing the migration path with transition impedance (its mainly irritability), because the thermal losses involved in tap conversion operations will obviously reduce, tap conversion operations can frequently safety carry out.But when main switch disconnects and the part of load current starts to flow in migration path, transition inductor will produce transient recovery voltage across main switch.By providing the main switch adopting compact disconnect form, no matter recovery voltage is how to the complete commutation of migration path can to guarantee load current.Transient recovery voltage typically occurs within the period of 0.1-3ms, and it comprises vibration, but in some implementations, other duration can occur transient recovery voltage.
Main path typically only associates with a migration path, and the migration path of described association forms well-defined path, if the main switch of main path disconnects, load current can commutate to this well-defined path.The impedance of migration path is higher than the impedance associating main path.
Compact disconnect is such switch, and it can block transient recovery voltage in short isolation distance, typically corresponding in 1mm/kV or less isolation distance.Express with alternate ways, the compact disconnect used in the present invention typically can block the transient electric field than 1kV/mm more high magnitude.Usually, will use as providing the compact disconnect of isolation distance (that is, the switch than the 10kV/mm more transient electric field of high magnitude can be blocked) corresponding to the transient voltage being less than 0.1mm/kV in the present invention.By using compact disconnect, load current (if or using the semiconductor device (such as IGBT) of turn-off capacity what for before current zero) directly will occur at current zero place to the commutation in induction transient state path after switch disconnects.Extras will not be needed for the formation of current zero.The efficient commutation of load current thus can realize by the compact design of switching device.
The example of compact disconnect comprises vacuum interrupter and semiconductor switch.
Main switch can be such as starting the arc switch, its even during tap conversion operations exist across inductor arrange transient recovery voltage extinguish arcs.Vacuum interrupter is the example of such starting the arc switch.Such switch also reliably can carry out the quick commutation of load current when there is high transient recovery voltage.
Alternatively, the main switch of compact disconnect can be semiconductor switch.Such semiconductor switch such as can comprise thyristor, IGBT(igbt), MOSFET(mos field effect transistor), IGCT(integral gate change transistor), bimodulus gated transistor (BIGT) or GTO(gate pole turn-off type thyristor).Main switch should be preferably bidirectional switch, and such as can comprise two thyristor-type switches that transistor type switch is connected with inverse parallel (so-called afterflow) diode or inverse parallel etc. when based semiconductor technology two be connected in series be connected in parallel.In Fig. 4 b, 6b and 8b, transition switch of advocating peace is depicted as triacs.
Main switch and transition inductor are connected in parallel.This allows to use bidirectional switch as main switch.In certain embodiments, be connected in parallel to be such, it makes main switch and circuit (wherein transition inductor forms a part) be connected in parallel, and/or transition inductor and circuit (wherein main switch forms a part) are connected in parallel (referring to Fig. 6 a, 6b, 8a, 8b).In other embodiments, being connected in parallel to be such, and it makes main switch and transition inductor be directly connected to each other (referring to Fig. 4 a and 4b).
Main switch 140 is disconnected, to make load current commutate to migration path from main switch during switching device 115,300 is arranged in tap conversion operations.This commutation occurs when transition switch 145 is in closure state.That is, arrange the commutation that switching device 115,300 makes load current from main path to migration path to be undertaken by disconnecting main switch.This process is carried out typically via natural commutation, and the next current zero wherein occurred after main switch triggering is off by the load current of main switch is commutated.
Main switch will make load current commutate to inductor when disconnecting, and namely arrive induction migration path (it comprises transition inductor 400).On the other hand, transition switch will interrupt sensor circuit when disconnecting.Transition switch therefore also can advantageously compact disconnect.
Fig. 4 a, 4b, 6a, 6b, 8a and 8b diagram is according to the different embodiments of switching device of the present invention.Fig. 4 a and 4b illustrates the change over switch 115 based on the change over switch 115 of Fig. 1, wherein transition resistance 150 is replaced by transition inductor 400, and main switch 140 and transition switch 145 are embodied as vacuum interrupter respectively, and (Fig. 4 a) or power semiconductor switch (Fig. 4 b).The on off sequence of the change over switch of Fig. 4 a illustrates in Figure 5, and wherein thick line instruction is at the load current path of the different phase I-V of on off sequence.Same switch sequence may be used for the switch elements of Fig. 4 b.
Fig. 6 a and 6b illustrates the change over switch 115 based on the change over switch 115 of Fig. 2, wherein transition resistance 150 is replaced by transition inductor 400, and main switch 140 and transition switch 145 are embodied as vacuum interrupter respectively, and (Fig. 6 a) or power semiconductor switch (Fig. 6 b).The on off sequence of the change over switch of Fig. 6 a illustrates in the figure 7, and wherein thick line instruction is at the load current path of the different phase I-V of on off sequence.Same switch sequence may be used for the switch elements of Fig. 6 b.
The transition inductor 400 of Fig. 6 a and 6b can replace with two inductors of corresponding that is connected in first and second contact points of four-way contact 240b or combine with it, and wherein the first and second contact points are for transition branch 160b is connected respectively to first and second tie point 170a, 170b.If migration path comprises two or more physics independence inductor, they will form transition inductor 400 together.
Fig. 8 a and 8b illustrates selector-switching mode tap change 100, it comprises the selector switch unit 300 based on selector switch unit shown in Figure 3, wherein transition resistance 150 is replaced by transition inductor 400, and main switch 140 and transition switch 145 are embodied as vacuum interrupter respectively, and (Fig. 8 a) or power semiconductor switch (Fig. 8 b).The on off sequence of the selector switch unit of Fig. 8 a illustrates in fig .9, and wherein thick line instruction is at the load current path of the different phase I-VII of on off sequence.Same switch sequence may be used for the selector switch unit of Fig. 8 b.
Can advantageously such sizing according to the transition inductor 400 in switching device 115,300 of the present invention, it makes the impedance Z of migration path trdrop in following scope:
Wherein U stepbe tap change two adjacent fixed contacts 135 between voltage, wherein switching device be designed to operation (this voltage is called step voltage); And Ir is the nominal load current of tap change.By providing the impedance Z of migration path tr(it is approximate be ratio) about between step voltage and nominal load current, across the voltage drop of transformer when tap conversion operations by the acceptable level of end user.Usually, transition inductor 400 is by such sizing, and it makes impedance Z trdrop in following scope:
According to the present invention, to transition impedance Z trinductive contributions be at least 50%, to make the thermal loss in migration path reduce.Usually, inductive contributions will be 70%, or up to 90%, or even higher.At Z trsensing part and whole Z trratio when being M, M>50%, the resistance R of migration path trwith the inductance L of migration path trratio can be expressed as:
Wherein f is the frequency (typically 50Hz) of transmission system.The inductance L of transition inductor 400 trcan from the transition impedance Z of migration path trwith resistance R traspect is expressed as:
Transition inductor 400 can such as rely on thin Al or Cu paper tinsel or Al or Cu line (it is wound around with many circles) to realize.For switching device 115,300(its be arranged to the operation of the load current of 4kV step voltage and 1kA) in the example of transition inductor 400 that designs, the Al paper tinsel that 0.2mm is thick and 50mm is wide is wound in 75 circles, produces the inductance of approximate 9mH.If such transition inductor 400 is approximate is 1 Ω, resistance produces the transition impedance Z of approximate 3 Ω tr.This realization of transition inductor 400 provides as just illustrated examples, and the L that generation can be used different or similar tr, R trand/or Z trother designs of value.
Discussion above can ignore the capacitive character of transition impedance contributed to this hypothesis under carry out.But, such switching device design can also be envisioned, wherein transition impedance Z trthere is capacitive character contribution.
As mentioned above, the impedance Z of migration path trhigher than the impedance Z of main path main.Usually, transition impedance Z trwith main path impedance Z mainratio be about 1,000 or about 10,000 or more.Main path impedance Z mainmainly ohmic-typically, any induction or capacitive component can be ignored.To main path impedance Z mainmain contributions typically come from the resistance of the compact disconnect with associated contact.
As mentioned above, the impedance of the main path typically enough low primary path that makes can serve as steady-state current path, and it continues carry load electric current when not carrying out tap conversion operations.
But in some implementations, when expecting to reduce the resistance loss of switching device even further, by-pass current path can be included in switching device.By-pass current path can such as via by-pass switch at tie point 170, be connected between 170a, 170b with exterior connection point 155.Because can accept load current from main path to such bypass/from so comparatively long duration switching to the commutation of main path, by-pass switch can adopt many different modes to design.There is provided the switch designs of slow and less controlled switching process can use in bypass, and in main path, switching process must be fast and predictable, because such time can be minimized, should be long enough to be convenient to electric current at this time durations circulating current on off sequence and occur between two taps simultaneously connected in current zero identical time of commutating.
