Definitions

  • the invention relates to an electrical measuring transformer. More specifically, the present invention applies to transformers, single-phase or multi-phase, able to adapt a real electrical value to a value compatible with a measurement, counting, control or monitoring module.
  • the invention will find its application in the field of electrical construction of such transformers and in particular in the industry of manufacturing current transformers.
  • Such transformers are used to supply measurement, metering, control or monitoring modules. These modules are generally designed to work with a reduced current and therefore require the use of measuring transformers when the currents to be controlled have values greater than the nominal value of said modules which, generally, are located at five amps.
  • the transformers are made so that the current reduced at the secondary is exactly proportional to the primary current, that is to say that it is its total image. . This is particularly important when the metering module is used to bill the energy consumed by a subscriber on the national distribution network.
  • the transformer when the transformer is made for a module of the electromechanical type, it is common for the power absorbed to be of the order of 15 VA. In this case, the transformation ratio error curve is within the fixed limits. On the other hand, if this same transformer is used on a metering or other electronic module, the power absorbed will be much lower and of the order of 3 VA and the error curve will be outside the allowed limits, which will distort the measurement.
  • the consumption of subscribers differs from one to the other and one can envisage networks of use consuming 50 amperes while others in consume 2000.
  • the purpose of the current transformer is to adapt the current consumed to the nominal value of the meter, which makes it possible to provide only one type of meter.
  • the aim of the present invention is to propose an electrical measurement transformer, single-phase or polyphase, capable of adapting an actual electrical value to a value compatible with a measurement, counting, control or monitoring module, which makes it possible to overcome the disadvantages mentioned above while avoiding any risk of human error.

  • Another object of the present invention is to provide an electrical measurement transformer which has at least two ratings, that is to say two ranges of use, thus allowing evolution over time without having to change the installation. to transform it if there is evolution.
  • the measurement transformer of the present invention has two consecutive transformation ratios, in particular 10, 20 or 20, 40, etc., which, when it is used for the first time, is configured on the first ratio and whose structure is designed to adapt the configuration of the transformer according to the range of use chosen, in particular by switching the windings according to the range chosen.
  • Another object of the present invention is to present a measurement transformer whose control of the configuration of the transformer as a function of the chosen range is possible in order to avoid any anomaly.
  • the present invention provides an electrical measuring transformer having means for controlling the configuration of the transformer, means which may be, in a simplified version, only visual and which, in a more elaborate version, may react automatically by signaling the unsuitability.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a measurement transformer which can easily be adapted as a function of the power required for the measurement, counting, control or monitoring module, and in particular which can allow consumption of 3 VA or 15 VA , depending on whether one works respectively in electronic module or in electromechanical module.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide an polyphase electrical measuring transformer which, during its installation, allows, by a single operation, to adapt the configuration of the transformer according to the range of use chosen without wiring error, d '' adapt the transformer configuration according to the use of the measurement and / or control the transformer configuration according to the range chosen and / or the use of the measurement.

  • a transformer will in particular be provided for adapting an actual electrical value to a value compatible with a measurement, metering, control or monitoring module.
  • a typical application of the present invention will be the production of current transformers intended for metering single-phase or multi-phase energy.
  • other applications could be envisaged for, for example, giving information proportional to the values measured to measuring devices, protection relays or any other monitoring system.
  • this invention was made in the field of electric current measurement transformers, however it could be transposed in other fields and for example in voltage measurement transformers.
  • Voltage measurement generally poses few problems because the measuring devices are easily achievable for voltages up to 1000 volts. On the other hand, as regards the current, this being able to evolve up to, for example, 2000 amperes, electrical transformers for measuring current are generally used. However, the correct choice of the gauge and their correct wiring depend on the quality and accuracy of the measurement.
