Description

一种内置式变压器限流装置A built-in transformer current limiting device

技术领域technical field

本实用新型涉及一种内置式变压器限流装置。The utility model relates to a built-in transformer current limiting device.

背景技术Background technique

随着大容量电力变压器的应用,短路电流也随之增加,短路故障的发生会危及变压器的动热稳定性。内置式变压器限流装置不同于传统的限流装置,它的主要工作原理是:限流装置置于变压器油箱内,限流装置中的快速开关与限流电抗器并联,变压器正常工作时,快速开关闭合,限流电抗器被短接;当短路故障发生时,快速开关断开,限流电抗器接入提高阻抗以限制短路电流,同时在限流电抗器两端并联电容器,以抑制发生短路时电抗器两端的过电压。With the application of large-capacity power transformers, the short-circuit current also increases, and the occurrence of short-circuit faults will endanger the dynamic and thermal stability of the transformer. The built-in transformer current-limiting device is different from the traditional current-limiting device. Its main working principle is: the current-limiting device is placed in the transformer oil tank, and the fast switch in the current-limiting device is connected in parallel with the current-limiting reactor. The switch is closed, and the current-limiting reactor is short-circuited; when a short-circuit fault occurs, the fast switch is disconnected, and the current-limiting reactor is connected to increase the impedance to limit the short-circuit current. When the overvoltage across the reactor.

内置式限流装置更适应用在新建变压器中。与其他类型限流装置比较,内置式限流装置具有动作迅速、开断能力强、限流效果优异及节能等显著特点。限流电抗器与快速开关并联,使其可在变压器正常运行时减少损耗,但是现有的高阻抗变压器的高阻抗特性在系统正常运行时,不利于节能,且经济性比较差。同时,变压器阻抗电压越高,变压器的尺寸也就越大,制造成本也越高。The built-in current limiting device is more suitable for use in new transformers. Compared with other types of current limiting devices, the built-in current limiting device has the remarkable characteristics of quick action, strong breaking capacity, excellent current limiting effect and energy saving. A current-limiting reactor is connected in parallel with a fast switch to reduce losses during normal operation of the transformer. However, the high-impedance characteristics of existing high-impedance transformers are not conducive to energy saving during normal operation of the system, and the economy is relatively poor. At the same time, the higher the impedance voltage of the transformer, the larger the size of the transformer and the higher the manufacturing cost.
