Definitions
- the invention relates to a switch arrangement with a switch and a drive system for the switch and a method for driving a switch.
- switches for different tasks and with different requirements. To operate the respective switches, they must be driven by a drive system. These switches are, among other things, on-load tap-changers, diverter switches, selector switches, double-turners, reversers, preselectors, circuit-breakers, load switches or disconnectors.
- On-load tap-changers are used, for example, for uninterrupted switching between different winding taps of electrical equipment, such as a power transformer or a controllable choke.
- electrical equipment such as a power transformer or a controllable choke.
- the transmission ratio of the transformer or the inductance of the choke can be changed.
- Double turners are used to reverse the polarity of windings during operation of the power transformer.
- the improved concept is based on the idea of equipping a drive shaft for driving the switch with a feedback system which is able to detect at least two values for a position of the drive shaft.
- the operation of the motor is influenced based on a feedback signal that is generated depending on both values.
- a switch arrangement with a switch and a drive system for the switch is specified.
- the drive system has a drive shaft which connects the drive system to the switch, a motor for driving the drive shaft and a feedback system.
- the feedback system is designed to determine at least two values for a position of the drive shaft and to generate a feedback signal based on the at least two values.
- the drive system has a control device which is set up to act on operation of the motor as a function of the feedback signal.
- the switch can be configured as an on-load tap-changer or a diverter switch or a selector or a double turner or a reverser or a preselector or a circuit breaker or a load switch or a disconnector.
- values for the position of the drive shaft also includes those values of measured variables from which the position of the drive shaft can be clearly determined, possibly within a tolerance range.
- the control device can establish a plausibility of the position determination or a comparison of the two values and thereby increase the reliability of the position determination and reduce the corresponding residual risk of an incorrect position determination.
- a partial failure of the feedback device such that only one value can be determined for the position of the drive shaft, does not necessarily lead to the drive shaft being stopped immediately.
- At least the switch can still be moved into a safe operating position in a controlled manner despite the partial failure.
- this increases the operational safety of the drive system, the switch and the equipment.
- the determination of two values for the position of the drive shaft increases safety by reliably recognizing a partial failure, and increases availability, since a shift is reliably completed despite the partial failure.
- the drive system serves to drive a shaft of the switch, for example an on-load tap-changer or a corresponding component of the on-load tap-changer.
- This causes the on-load tap-changer, for example, to carry out one or more operations, for example a switchover between two winding taps of an item of equipment or parts of the switchover, such as one Load switching, a selector actuation, preselector actuation or a double-turn actuation.
- the drive shaft is directly or indirectly, in particular special via one or more gears, connected to the switch, in particular the shaft of the switch.
- the drive shaft is directly or indirectly, in particular via one or more gears, with the diverter switch, selector, double turn, turner, circuit breaker, load switch or disconnector, in particular the shaft of the diverter switch, selector, double turn, reverser, circuit breaker, Load switch or disconnector connected.
- the drive shaft is directly or indirectly, in particular via one or more gears, connected to the motor, in particular a motor shaft of the motor.
- a position, in particular an absolute position from the motor shaft corresponds to a position, in particular an absolute position, of the drive shaft. This means that the position of the motor shaft can be clearly deduced from the position of the motor shaft, possibly within a tolerance range.
- the action includes controlling, regulating, braking, accelerating or stopping the motor.
- the regulation can include, for example, position regulation, speed regulation, acceleration regulation or torque regulation.
- the drive system is a servo drive system.
- the drive system comprises a monitoring unit which is set up to use the feedback signal to monitor the one or more operations of the switch, on-load tap-changer, diverter switch, selector, double reverser, reverser, preselector, circuit breaker, load switch or disconnector.
- the monitoring includes, in particular, monitoring to determine whether individual operations or parts thereof are being carried out properly, in particular within predefined time windows.
- the control device comprises a control unit and a power unit for the controlled or regulated supply of energy to the motor.
- the control unit is used to control the power unit as a function of at least a setpoint, in particular position, speed, or acceleration setpoint, set up.
- the power section is designed as a converter or servo converter or as an equivalent electronic, in particular fully electronic, unit for drive machines.
- control device contains the feedback system in whole or in part.
- the feedback system is set up to determine a first value of the at least two values for the position of the drive shaft according to a first method and to determine a second value of the at least two values for the position of the drive shaft according to a second method, wherein the two methods may differ from each other.

- the first and the second value for the absolute position of the drive shaft can be compared by the control device, for example.
- the control device can output an error message or initiate a safety measure.
- one of the at least two values for the position of the drive shaft is an incremental value for a position of the drive shaft or a value for a relative position of the drive shaft.
- the first and / or the second value for the absolute position can then be direction can be compared with the incremental or relative value, whereby the plausibility of the first and / or second value for the absolute position can be checked.
- the control device can output an error message and / or initiate a safety measure.
- the feedback system is set up to determine a rotor position of the motor and to determine one of the at least two values for the position of the drive shaft as a function of the rotor position.
- the rotor position is an angular range in which a rotor of the motor is located, optionally combined with a number of complete rotations of the rotor.
- the position or absolute position of the motor shaft can thus be determined precisely to at least 180 °, for example by the control device.
- the control device By stepping down by means of one or more gears, the accuracy of the position of the drive shaft that can thereby be achieved is significantly greater.
- the evaluation by the control device corresponds to a certain extent to a virtual transmitter function. Even in the event of a complete failure of an absolute value transmitter of the feedback system, at least one emergency operation can therefore be maintained and / or the switch, in particular on-load tap changer, can be brought into a safe position.
- the feedback system includes an absolute value transmitter which is set up and arranged to detect the absolute position of the drive shaft or an absolute position of a further shaft connected to the drive shaft and to output at least one output signal based on the detected position produce.
- the feedback system is set up to determine one of the at least two values for the position of the drive shaft, in particular the first and / or the second value for the absolute position, using the at least one output signal.

- the absolute encoder has a first output for outputting the first or second value for the absolute position and a second output for outputting the incremental or relative value for the position.
- absolute encoder includes both devices that determine two values for the position in different ways and devices that contain two separate encoders, at least one of which is an absolute encoder.
- the absolute value encoder comprises a multiturn rotary encoder.
- the absolute value encoder is set up to detect the position of the drive shaft or the position of the further shaft using a first scanning method.
- the absolute encoder is set up to additionally detect the position of the drive shaft or the position of the further shaft using a second scanning method which is independent of the first scanning method.
- the first or the second scanning method includes an optical, a magnetic, a capacitive, a resistive or an inductive scanning method.
- the first scanning method differs from the second scanning method.
- the absolute encoder is positively connected to the drive shaft, the motor shaft or the further shaft.
- the absolute value encoder is additionally connected to the drive shaft, the motor shaft or the further shaft in a force-locking or material-locking manner, for example by an adhesive connection.
- the form-fitting and additionally material or force-fitting connection further increases the attachment of the absolute encoder and ultimately the operational reliability.
- a method for driving an on-load tap changer includes determining at least two values for an absolute position of a drive shaft for driving the on-load tap-changer, generating a feedback signal based on the at least two values, and controlling a motor for driving the on-load tap-changer as a function of the feedback signal.
