Definitions

  • the invention relates to a combined measurement formed by the association of a non-magnetic core current sensor having a first secondary winding intended to deliver a measurement signal proportional to the derivative of the current flowing through a common primary conductor passing through an orifice , and a power transformer comprising a magnetic circuit made of ferromagnetic material, which is crossed by said primary conductor, and carrying a second secondary winding capable of supplying power supply, in particular to an electronic trip device of an electric circuit breaker .
  • the object of the invention is to reduce the size of a measuring instrument for a trigger with own current.
  • the measuring instrument is characterized in that the current sensor is arranged inside the magnetic circuit of the supply transformer with a coaxial arrangement around the orifice, and that the first secondary winding is located closer to the primary conductor than the second secondary winding, which is located in an area with a weak magnetic field.
  • This arrangement of the current sensor makes it possible to obtain a maximum measurement signal at the terminals of the first secondary winding, while the second secondary winding is arranged to limit the secondary intensity of the supply transformer in the event of the appearance of a current. short circuit in the primary conductor.
  • the magnetic circuit is arranged in a closed frame having a rectilinear branch for supporting the second secondary winding, which extends orthogonally to the orifice for the passage of the primary conductor.
  • the magnetic circuit opposite to the straight branch, a part in the shape of an arch, the internal wall of which is in the vicinity of the current sensor.
  • the protection of the handset is ensured by an insulating carcass formed by the assembly of two half-shells coming into abutment in the median plane of symmetry.
  • Figure 1 is an elevational view of the measuring instrument according to the invention.
  • Figure 2 shows a sectional view along line 2-2 of Figure 1.
  • FIG. 3 represents a mode of installation of the combined measurement device on a primary loop conductor.
  • Figure 4 shows the handset inserted in a compartment of a circuit breaker box.
  • the measuring device 10 is formed by the association of a current sensor 12 and a power transformer 14, arranged around an orifice 13 capable of being traversed by a conductor primary 15.
  • the latter is common to the sensor 12 and to the transformer 14, and is formed by a phase conductor of an electrical device with electronic trigger (not shown).
  • the current sensor 12 of the handset 10 comprises a closed non-magnetic toroid 16 of the Rogowski type, on which is wound a first secondary winding 18 intended to deliver a measurement signal to a processing circuit (not shown) of the trip device.
  • the low power measurement signal is proportional to the derivative of the current flowing through the primary conductor 15.
  • the adjacent supply transformer 14 includes a magnetic circuit 20 made of ferromagnetic material, and a second secondary winding 22 intended to apply the supply voltage to the electronic trip device.
  • the magnetic circuit 20 is formed by a closed frame having at the base a straight branch on which is wound the second secondary winding 22 extending orthogonally to the circular orifice 13.
  • the frame consists of two stacks of magnetic sheets assembled symmetrically with respect to the median plane of trace symmetry xx '.
  • the upper vaulted part of the frame has a semi-circular shape substantially centered on the axis yy 'of the orifice 13.
  • the instrument panel 10 is protected by the assembly of two half-shells 24.26 in molded insulating material, intended to ensure isolation from the surrounding environment.
  • the half-shells 24, 26 come into abutment in the median plane of symmetry.
  • the first secondary winding 18 of the sensor 12 is formed by a succession of contiguous turns distributed over the entire periphery of the non-magnetic core 16.
  • the wound toroid 16 is placed inside the magnetic circuit 20 of the transformer 14 with a coaxial arrangement around the orifice 13 for the passage of the primary conductor 15.
  • the toroid assembly 16 and the first secondary winding 18 extends orthogonally to the second secondary winding 22 by matching the interior of the upper vaulted portion of the magnetic circuit 20.
  • the non-magnetic torus 16 of the current sensor 12 directly surrounds the primary conductor 15 to obtain at the terminals of the first secondary winding 18, a maximum measurement signal as a function of a predetermined primary current.
  • the second secondary winding 22 of the supply transformer 14 is further from the primary conductor 15 than the toroid 16 and is in an area of weak magnetic field. This results in a limitation of the intensity supplied by the winding 22 in the event of a short-circuit current appearing in the primary conductor 15.
  • the primary conductor 15 is shaped according to a loop 28, with an arrangement of the second secondary winding 22 outside the loop.
  • the measuring instrument 10 is inserted into a compartment 30 of parallelepiped shape of an insulating box for the electrical equipment.
  • the upper vaulted part of the magnetic circuit 20 leaves two free spaces 32,34 in the corners of the compartment 30 allowing the winding for several passages of the primary conductor 15 in the orifice 13.
  • the section of the primary conductor 15 corresponds to ratings less than 100 Amps.
  • the space occupied by the measuring device 10 in a molded switchgear box, in particular of a circuit breaker with electronic trip device with its own current, is reduced to a minimum.
