Definitions

  • the present invention relates to three-phase power supplies for non ⁇ linear loads, especially to such with lamp fittings for gas discharge tubes, like high pressure sodium lamps. Electric plants with a great number of fittings in parallel are used for example in green house cultivation and for road lighting.
  • a discharge tube constitutes from an electrical point of view a non- linear element, which requires a current-limiting inductor in series, and which generates an approximately square wave load voltage, causing harmonic currents in the supply network.
  • the inductor makes the current from the supply highly inductive, and for phase compensation a capacitor is usually connected in parallel to the inductor plus lamp. If this is not done, the fundamental compo ⁇ nent of the supply current can be more than twice as high, as when compensated, and the power losses in the network increase con ⁇ siderably.
  • Inserting capacitors in a network may cause problems because of re ⁇ sonance phenomena between them and the inductance of the net-work, mainly originating from the supply transformer of the plant.
  • Resonance implies amplification of harmonic currents and gives rise to increased losses in bars, cables and transformers.
  • a typical supply voltage for a lamp fitting is 230 V, corresponding to the phase voltage of a 400 V system.
  • the fittings are therefore usually connected between phase and neutral in a three-phase system.
  • the dominating harmonic is the third, which has the property of hav ⁇ ing the same phase position in all phases. In other words, it appears as a zero-sequence current. It adds up in the neutral conductor, which therefore carries a three times as big third harmonic current as the phase conductors, and it appears as a circulating current in the primary delta winding of the supply transformer, causing losses and heating.
  • the invention aims at a solution which in a simple, inexpensive and flexible way reduces the third harmonic current to a harmless level.
  • Figure 1 shows a three-phase plant of current design
  • Figure 2 an equivalent diagram
  • Figure 3 an equivalent diagram of a plant according to one alternative of the invention
  • Figure 4 to another alternative
  • Figure 5 shows the zero- inductor in a preferred version
  • Figure 6 a further developcment of the invention in a preferred version.
  • Figure 1 shows a three-phase plan t wilh a ⁇ /Y-0 connected trans ⁇ former 1 having the loads 2 connected between phases and neutral.
  • Figure 2 shows a simplified diagram for a group of lamp fittings, drawn as one fitting 2 per phase, with lamp 3, series inductor 4 and capacitor 5.
  • Figure 3 shows one version of the zero-inductor 6. It has three essentially equal windings each of them connected in series with a phase coductor all magnetizing the core in the same direction. It is so dimensioned, that its impedance for the third harmonic, generated by the lamps, is high. In consequence the main part of this current finds its way through the phase-compensating capacitors and only a minor part flows through the network.
  • the zero-inductor effectively impedes a third harmonic amplification caused by a resonance between capacitors and network impedance.
  • the third harmonic voltage across a winding of the inductor is in the order of 10 V when the phase voltage is 230 V.
  • Figure 4 shows a power system with the neutral conductor (N) threaded through the zero-inductor 6 forming a single-turn winding. It is dimensioned in the same way as above.
  • the zero-inductor encircles the inductor without breaking it, which is desirable from a safety point of view.
  • Figure 5 shows a similar system wi th the three phase conductors threaded through the zero-inductor. It is dimensioned using the same principles as outlined above and it functions in the same way.
  • An advantage is, that it can be placed anywhere in the network independ ⁇ ently of if it is a 4- or 5-conductor system.
  • the iron core of the zero-inductor has no air gap and can be a ring core made of oriented transformer iron. It is designed for a few volts of fundamental voltage. For higher voltages it will saturate, and then the zero-inductor only represents a low impedance. This design keeps down the size of the zero-inductor to a minimum and also ensures that no large voltage asymmetries appear, if the load current becomes asymmetrical, for example when a fuse breaks.
  • Figure 6 shows a further development of the invention.
  • the zero- inductor 6 is provided with one or more multi-turn windings 8 connected to circuits 7 comprising capacitors.
  • circuits 7 comprising capacitors.
