Abstract

The invention relates to an arrangement for the avoidance of fault impulses of a summation current transformer on its secondary winding (6). In such an arrangement, especially for fault-current protection switches, one lead (3, 4) surrounds the other (5) concentrically, in the region of the transformer core (2). By means of this arrangement, faulty disconnections are avoided, especially in the case of very high currents. <IMAGE>

Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Anordnung zur Vermeidung von Fehlimpulsen eines Summenstromwandlers auf seine Sekundärwicklung bei Fehlerstrom-Schutzschaltern mittels Abschirmungen im Innern des Wandlerkernes.The invention relates to an arrangement for avoiding false pulses of a summation current transformer on its secondary winding in fault current circuit breakers by means of shields in the interior of the transformer core.

Bei Fehlerstrom-Schutzschaltern werden Summenstromwandler benutzt, die eine relativ kleine Differenz zweier großer Nennströme zu erfassen haben. Hierzu reicht in vielen Fällen eine Sekundärwindungszahl im Summenstromwandler von wenigen Windungen aus. Es ist somit im allgemeinen nicht möglich, die Sekundärwicklung gleichmäßig über den gesamten Umfang des Ringkernes für den Summenstromwandler zu verteilen. Da jedoch die Primärleiter im allgemeinen in der Ringöffnung des Wandlers in keiner bestimmten Stelle festgehalten werden, ist also eine Zuordnung des Primärleiters und der Primärwicklung zur Sekundärwicklung, die nur aus einzelnen Windungen besteht, frei wählbar. Es kommt somit in der Praxis vor, daß Streufelder der Primärwicklungen, deren Summenstrom an sich Null ist, mit der Sekundärwicklung des Wandlers teilweise verkettet sind. Dies kann nun einen Fehlimpuls bzw. eine Auslösung des Fehlerstrom-Schutzschalters bedeuten, obwohl kein Fehlerstrom auf der Primärseite des Wandlers vorliegt. Auch treten bei sehr hohen Strömen, z.B. dem Einschaltrush von Transformatoren oder Motoren als einzigem Verbraucher hinter dem Wandler, unkontrollierbare Streufelder auf, die ebenfalls Fehlabschaltungen verursachen. Zur Eingrenzung derartiger Probleme ist eine Anordnung der obengenannten Art bekannt, bei der zwischen Primärwicklung und Sekundärwicklung des Summenstromwandlers eine dünnwandige, magnetisch leitende Abschirmung vorgesehen ist. Diese Anordnung hat zwar eine wesentliche Verbesserung der Fehlabschaltungen mit sich gebracht; sie konnten jedoch im Hinblick auf die asymmetrische Anordnung der Leiter innerhalb des Summenstromwandlers noch nicht sicher genug vermeiden werden.Residual current circuit breakers use summation current transformers that have to detect a relatively small difference between two large nominal currents. In many cases, a secondary number of turns in the total current transformer of a few turns is sufficient for this. It is therefore generally not possible to distribute the secondary winding evenly over the entire circumference of the toroid for the summation current transformer. However, since the primary conductors are generally not held in any particular place in the ring opening of the converter, an assignment of the primary conductor and the primary winding to the secondary winding, which consists only of individual turns, can be freely selected. It thus happens in practice that stray fields of the primary windings, the total current of which is zero, are partially chained to the secondary winding of the converter. This can mean a fault pulse or a triggering of the residual current circuit breaker, although there is no fault current on the primary side of the converter. Even at very high currents, such as the switch-on rush of transformers or motors as the only consumer behind the converter, there are uncontrollable stray fields that also cause faulty shutdowns. To narrow down such problems is one Arrangement of the type mentioned above is known, in which a thin-walled, magnetically conductive shield is provided between the primary winding and the secondary winding of the summation current transformer. Although this arrangement has brought about a substantial improvement in faulty shutdowns; however, with regard to the asymmetrical arrangement of the conductors within the summation current transformer, they could not yet be avoided safely enough.

Der Erfindung liegt somit die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Anordnung zu schaffen, mit der die Fehlabschaltungen, insbesondere bei sehr hohen Strömen, noch sicherer vermieden werden können, ohne hierbei einen erheblichen Aufwand treiben zu müssen. Dies wird auf einfache Weise bei einer Anordnung der obengenannten Art dadurch erreicht, daß zumindest ein Leiter den anderen im Bereich des Wandlerkerns konzentrisch umgreift. Um auf besondere Anschlußmittel bei den konzentrischen Leitern verzichten zu können, ist es vorteilhaft, wenn die hohlzylinderförmigen Leiterteile mit in Längsrichtung verlaufenden, sich verjüngenden Anschlußfortsätzen versehen sind. Die hohlzylindrischen Leiterteile werden vorteilhafterweise aus'Kupfer hergestellt. Die hohlzylinderförmigen Leiterteile können beispielsweise innerhalb des Ringkernes eingegossen werden und die Fortsätze mit Schraubanschlüssen versehen werden, so daß ohne Schwierigkeiten ein Dreileiterkabel angeschlossen werden kann.The invention is therefore based on the object of providing an arrangement with which the faulty shutdowns, in particular at very high currents, can be avoided even more reliably, without having to make a considerable effort. This is achieved in a simple manner in an arrangement of the type mentioned above in that at least one conductor concentrically engages around the other in the region of the converter core. In order to be able to dispense with special connection means for the concentric conductors, it is advantageous if the hollow cylindrical conductor parts are provided with tapering connection projections running in the longitudinal direction. The hollow cylindrical conductor parts are advantageously made of copper. The hollow cylindrical conductor parts can be cast, for example, inside the ring core and the extensions can be provided with screw connections, so that a three-wire cable can be connected without difficulty.

  • Fig. 2 is a side view.

Durch die Öffnung 1 des ringförmigen Wandlerkerns 2 sind die stromdurchflossenen Primärleiter 3, 4 und 5 hindurchgeführt sowie die Sekundärwicklung 6 hindurchgewickelt. Der Primärleiter 5 kann als normaler Rundleiter ausgebildet sein, wohingegen die übrigen Primärleiter 3 und 4 konzentrisch zum Primärleiter 5 als hohlzylinderförmige Leiterteile angeordnet sind. In Längsrichtung verlaufende, sich verjüngende Anschlußfortsätze 7 dienen dem Anschluß der eigentlichen Kabel, was in üblicher Weise über Schraubanschlüsse erfolgen kann. Nach Einsetzen der hohlzylinderförmigen Leiterteile und des Primärleiters 5 können diese im Wandlerkern 2 in üblicher Weise eingegossen werden, so daß zusätzliche Halterungsmaßnahmen entfallen können.The current-carrying primary conductors 3, 4 and 5 are passed through the opening 1 of the annular converter core 2 and the secondary winding 6 is wound through.
