Definitions
- the invention relates to an adapter device for transmitting positions of an on-load tap changer from a control device to a secondary device.
- On-load tap changers are known from the prior art and usually have a diverter switch and a selector.
- the on-load tap-changer is usually actuated by a drive that is located on the outside of the tank of a tap-changer.
- the drive has a motor that is coupled to the on-load tap changer via a gear.
- the position of the step switch is detected via the transmission by coupling a display transmission with a display to it.
- the display also offers an interface that enables the position of the on-load tap-changer to be recorded and displayed in a control room.
- the invention proposes an adapter device for transmitting positions of an on-load tap changer from a control device to a secondary device, comprising: an input for receiving at least one position from the control device of the on-load tap changer;
- the at least one switch is actuated by the control device and the at least one resistor is switched on or off;
- the output position of the on-load tap changer at the output corresponds to the resistance value of at least one resistor that is on or off has been turned off.
- the adapter device makes it possible for modern on-load tap-changer drives to be connected to existing secondary devices, so that the current position of the on-load tap-changer can be output via already existing displays or the like.
- Existing secondary devices can continue to be used and do not have to be replaced, especially when replacing the on-load tap-changer and the drives in existing systems.
- Existing secondary devices which are embodied, for example, as displays or voltage regulators, always require a resistance value during operation, which is output when a voltage is applied.
- modern control devices of an on-load tap changer cannot have a resistor installed for each position to be mapped in order to be able to map the corresponding position.
- Resistors which would then be installed in the control device, are then superfluous.
- the positions of the on-load tap-changer are received at the input of the adapter device.
- the positions are communicated or transmitted by the control device via cables.
- the received positions are then output to a secondary device in the form of resistance values.
- At least one resistor and at least one switch are arranged inside the adapter device. The switch is actuated based on the received position, which is output by the control device.
- the switch is connected to the terminals. By activating the switch connected in parallel to the resistor, the resistor is switched on or off. By applying a voltage to the output, the switched on or off resistance value can be determined, which in turn is assigned a position in the secondary device.
- the resistor is connected to the output.
- the adapter device can be designed in any way and can have a number of resistors, for example. These can be connected in series.
- the resistors can form a first series of resistors and a second series of resistors.
- Each resistor can consist of one resistive element or several resistive elements connected in series or in parallel.
- the adapter device can be configured in any desired manner and can have a number of switches, for example. These can be connected in series.
- the switches can form a first row of switches and a second row of switches.
- the switches can be designed as relays, bistable relays or semiconductor switching elements. Particularly beneficial is the use of bistable relays as switches. These have the advantage that in the event of an unintentional power failure, the bistable relay and thus the switch remain in the state in which they were last switched. Ordinary relays would fall into a state that is intended for them when there is no voltage.
- the adapter device can be designed in any way, so that for example the at least one switch is connected in parallel with the resistor.
- each resistor is associated with a switch.
- Each switch is connected in parallel with a resistor.
- the individual resistors are connected in series or removed from the series connection by opening and closing the switches.
- the individual resistors can either always have one resistance value or different resistance values.
- the first resistor in an embodiment with different resistance values, it is possible, for example, for the first resistor to have 10 ohms, the second resistor to have 20 ohms, the third resistor to have 40 ohms, the fourth resistor to have 80 ohms, the fifth resistor to have 160 ohms and the sixth resistor to have 320 ohms. These six resistors then form a first series of resistors.
- a second series of resistors can be constructed identically. Since a switch is assigned to each resistor, 64 resistance values can be set by actuating corresponding switches, and 64 positions of the on-load tap changer can thus be output at the output. This is also possible with other resistance values as long as a resistance value doubles from the first resistance value.
- a first resistance value can be 10 ohms, 40.3 ohms, 150 ohms or 400 ohms.
- the input of the adapter device can be designed in any way and can have at least one clamp, for example.
- the at least one terminal is preferably assigned to a switch.
- the input has a number of terminals which are each connected to a switch and actuate it.
- the control device has a digital interface. This is connected to the input and in particular to the terminals via at least one cable. The control device communicates via the cables and the terminals which of the switches are to be actuated in order to switch corresponding resistances on or off, in order then to generate resistance values which are associated with positions in the secondary device.
- the output of the adapter device can be designed in any way and can have, for example, a first contact, a second contact and a third contact.
- a resistance value is determined, which depends on which resistance is connected or disconnected switched off or which resistors are switched on or off.
- Each resistance value corresponds to a position of the on-load tap changer or is assigned to a position of the on-load tap changer.
- the adapter device can be designed in any way, with the first series of resistors and the first series of switches being connected at their first end to the first contact of the output and at their second end to the second contact of the output.
- the first row of resistors and the first row of switches are connected in parallel to one another. Each switch is connected in parallel to each resistor.
- the adapter device can be designed in any way, with a second row of switches and a second row of resistors being provided;
- the second row of switches is made up of a plurality of switches connected in series;
- the second series of resistors is made up of a plurality of series-connected resistors;
- the switches are each connected in parallel to one of the resistors.
- the adapter device can be designed in any way, with
- the adapter device can be designed in any way, with
- the adapter device can be configured in any desired manner, with a first resistance value being able to be determined when a first voltage is applied to the first and second terminals, which resistance value depends on the resistors switched on or off.
- the adapter device can be designed in any way, wherein when applying a first voltage to the first and the second contact or the second and the third contact, a first resistance value can be determined, which depends on the connected or disconnected resistors in the first or second series of resistors; when a second voltage is applied to the first and the third contact, a second resistance value can be determined, which depends on the resistors in the first and second series of resistors that are switched on or off,
- the first voltage is a reference voltage and the second voltage is a supply voltage.
- the adapter device can be designed in any way and can have, for example, a first series of resistors and a second series of resistors. Each row of resistors has exactly six resistors.
- the first resistor in the first row of resistors has a specific resistance value.
- the second resistance of the second resistor is twice that of the first resistor.
- the third resistance is twice the size of the second resistance
- the fourth resistance is twice the size of the third resistance
- the fifth resistance is twice the size of the fourth resistance
- the sixth resistance is twice the size of the fifth resistance.
- the first row of resistors and the second row of resistors are constructed identically.
- the adapter device has a first row of switches and a second row of switches. The rows of switches are identical. Each row of switches has exactly six switches, each of which is a bistable relay.
- an arrangement which includes the adapter device, the on-load tap changer and the control device.
- the control device and the motor form the drive.
- the arrangement enables on-load tap changers with modern drives to be connected to existing secondary devices, so that the current position of the on-load tap changer can be output via already existing displays or the like.
- Existing secondary devices can continue to be used and do not have to be replaced, especially when replacing the on-load tap-changer and the drives in existing systems.
- Existing secondary devices for example. As Displays or voltage regulators are designed, always require a resistance value during operation, which is output by applying a voltage.
- modern control devices of an on-load tap changer cannot have a resistor installed for each position to be mapped in order to be able to map the corresponding position.
- There are also modern secondary devices which then do not require a resistance value to represent a position and can be connected directly to the control devices. Resistors, which would then be installed in the control device, are then superfluous.
- FIG. 1 shows an on-load tap changer with an adapter device
- FIG. 2 shows a first embodiment of the adapter device
- FIG. 3 shows a second embodiment of the adapter device.
- FIG. 1 shows an on-load tap changer 1 with a diverter switch 2 and a selector 3 .
- the on-load tap changer 1 is actuated by a motor 5 .
- the motor 5 is connected to a control device 6 .
- the control device 6 includes a power unit 7, a converter 8 and a control unit 9.
- the control device 6 detects, among other things, the position of the on-load tap changer 1.
- the position of the on-load tap changer 1 describes which winding tap of a control winding in a tapped transformer is currently being contacted.
- the motor 5 and the control device 6 form the drive 4.
- the control device 6 has a first interface 11, via which the position of the on-load tap changer 1 is output.
- the first interface 11 is configured as a plug with terminals, for example.
- the first interface 11 is a digital interface that outputs a digital signal that transmits the position of the on-load tap changer 1 .
- the first interface 11 is connected to an input 20 of the adapter device 10 via a cable.
- the adapter device 10 has an output 30 which in turn is connected to a second interface 12 of a secondary device 50 via a cable.
- the secondary device 50 can be in the form of a display, a voltage regulator, an evaluation unit or the like.
- An assembly 100 is also shown. This includes the adapter device 10 and/or the control device 6 and/or the motor 5 and/or the drive 4 and/or the on-load tap changer 1.
- the arrangement 100 preferably includes the adapter device 10, the control device 6 of the drive 4 and the on-load tap changer 1.
- the arrangement is 100 connected to the secondary device 50 by means of an adapter device 10 .
- FIG. 2 shows a first embodiment of the adapter device 10 according to the invention.
- the input 20 of the adapter device consists of a large number of terminals 21.
- the positions of the on-load tap changer 1 are received, which are output by the control device 6.
- a plurality of resistors 22 connected in series are arranged inside the adapter device 10 . These form a first row of resistors 23.
- a switch 24 is arranged or switched in parallel with each resistor 22.
- Each resistor 22 may consist of or be constructed of a single resistor or multiple resistors connected in series or parallel.
- the plurality of switches 24 are also connected in series and form a first row of switches 25. By opening and closing the corresponding switches 24, the corresponding resistors 22 are removed from the series connection or added to it. As shown in FIG. 2, it is thus possible to use the switches 24 to connect all the resistors 22 in series, to connect only some of the resistors 22 in series, or to connect none of the resistors 22 in series.
- the switches 24 are actuated or controlled via the respective terminals 21 of the input 20 by the control device 6. Depending on the position of the on-load tap changer 1, corresponding switches 24 are actuated by the control device 6 and thus corresponding resistors 22 are connected in series.
- the corresponding switch 24 or the corresponding switches 24 are opened or closed via the corresponding terminal 21 or corresponding terminals 21 .
- the adapter device 10 thus converts digital signals at the outputs of a control device 6 into corresponding resistance values in the adapter device 10 .
- the first series of resistors 23 and the first series of switches 25 are connected at their ends to a first end 28 and a second end 29 arranged opposite the first end 28 .
- the first end 28 and the second end 29 which is arranged opposite the first end 28 , of the series of resistors 23 and the series of switches 25 are connected to the output 30 of the adapter device 10 .
- the first end 28 is connected to a first contact 31 and the second end 29 is connected to a second contact 32 .
- the first resistance value is processed or represented by means of a secondary device 50 which can be connected to the output 30 of the adapter device 10 .
- the secondary device 50 may be configured as a display, voltage regulator, or the like. When the secondary device 50 is designed as a display, the resistance values are assigned the corresponding positions of the on-load tap changer 1 and then displayed, for example, by pointers.
- the resistors 22 are of equal size. This means that a series of resistors with a maximum of six resistance values can be connected. For example, six times 10 ohms. In conjunction with six switches 24, only six positions of an on-load tap changer 1 can be displayed, processed or output to the secondary device 50.
- the resistors 22 with different resistance values can be connected in series.
- the resistance value doubles from left to right, specifically from 10 ohms, 20 ohms, 40 ohms, 80 ohms, 160 ohms, 320 ohms.
- any resistance value can be used as the first value and must then be doubled.
- FIG. 3 shows a further embodiment of the adapter device 10, but with a reference function.
- a second series of resistors 26 is connected in series with the first series of resistors 23 here.
- a second row of switches 27 is connected in series with the first row of switches 25 .
- the resistor rows 23, 26 and the switch rows 25, 27 are constructed identically.
- the series-connected resistors 22 of the first resistor series 23 have the same resistance values as the series-connected resistors 22 of the second resistor series 26.
- the number of switches 24 in the first switch series 25 corresponds to the number of switches 24 in the second switch series 27.
- a third contact 33 which is also part of the output 30 , is arranged at the third end 34 of the second series of resistors 26 .
- the third end 34 is located opposite the first end 28 .
- the second contact 32 is connected between the first and the second series of resistors 23, 26 and the first and the second series of switches 25, 27.
- a constant second voltage supply voltage
- the respective first voltage can then be applied to the first and second contact 31, 32, alternatively to the second and third contact 32, 33, and a current (reference current) can then be measured.
- the sum of the two voltages, ie the voltages between the first and second contact 31 , 32 and the second and third contact 32 , 33 must always be equal to the second voltage (supply voltage) between the first and third contact 31 , 33 . However, for this it is necessary that the total resistance or the second resistance value between the first and the third contact 31 , 33 always remains the same.
- a switch 24 in the first row of switches 25 and a switch in the second row of switches 27 are actuated.
- a resistor 22 in the first series of resistors 23 is switched on and a corresponding resistor 22 in the second series of resistors 26 is switched off.
- both the first voltage (reference voltage) between the first and the second contact 31, 32 and also the first voltage (reference voltage) between the second and third contact 32, 33 change.
- the second voltage (supply voltage) between the first contact 31 and the third contact 33 remains the same.
- the sum of both resistance series must always remain the same. If no resistor 22 is connected in the first row of resistors 23 , all resistors 22 in the second row of resistors 23 are connected. The corresponding switches 24 are actuated via the control device 6.
- the embodiment with three contacts 31, 32, 33 is primarily intended for secondary devices 50 that use the total resistance, i.e. the second resistance value, to map the entire control range, i.e. all positions of an on-load tap changer 1, from the first to the last position .
- the second voltage (supply voltage) or the second resistance value or total resistance is used as the basis for representing an entire control range. In other words, all positions of an on-load tap changer 1 are shown.
- the first voltage reference voltage
- the switches 24 can be designed as relays, bistable relays or semiconductor switching elements.
- the resistors 22 can be in multiples of 10 ohms, 40.3 ohms, 150 ohms, and 400 ohms, and so on. Furthermore, the resistors for a resistance value can be constructed from a plurality of elements connected in series or in parallel.
