Description
SPECIFICATION
High tension capacitor
The present invention relates to a high-tension capacitor.
Conventional high-tension capacitors have so far been manufactured in the manner described below with reference to Fig. 1. Firstly, capacitor elements A are formed by overlapping alternately electrode layers and dielectric layers made from insulating paper or plastic film and rolling the laminated sheet. A plurality of such capacitor elements are housed in a steel casing 4 and are connected to one another and to high-tension bushings 7 through lead wires 6. Finally they are vacuumimpregnated with a high-tension insulating oil 8 and azure sealed.
In such high-tension capacitors, the dielectric layers must have a high degree of insulation property because it greatly effects the life of capacitor. In conventional high-tension capacitors, the dielectric layers are impregnated with a high-tension insulating oil to form insulation layers between the electrode layers. However, even with such measure, they were not completely free from insulation breakdown or abnormal temperature rise.
Should such a trouble occur, the temperature of the capacitor itself rises to an abnormal level and the capacitor elements and the insulating oil expand by heat. This can induce breakage or explosion of the steel casing and environmental pollution with splashed insulating oil. Further, fire can be induced since an insulating oil is a combustible liquid with a flashing point between 130 and 200"C.
Should a fire break out at a crowded place such as high-rise buildings, underground streets, hospitals, and schools, life of a great nuniber of people may be lost. Therefore, non-combustible and explosion-proof properties are required for any electrical equipments.
Oilless arrangement has been completed for all electrical equipments except for high-tension capacitors.
In view of the above, the applicant of the present invention proposed in Japanese Patent
Application No. 59-3993 a high-tension capacitor comprising capacitor elements having dielectrics disposed between the electrode layers and impregnated with synthetic resin, the capacitor elements being housed in a sealed container molded of synthetic resin, and sulfur hexafluoride gas (SF6) being filled into the container as an insulator. Even with such a capacitor, gas pressure might increase and the explosion of the container be induced, if the protective device should fail to operate so that the capacitor itself heats up to an abnormal level.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a high-tension capacitor which can be manufactured easily and is free from hazard of fire and explosion.
It is another object of the present invention to provide a high-tension capacitor which provides good heat dissipation.
In accordance with the present invention, no gas or liquid is used as insulating medium.
Instead, not only the dielectric layers in the capacitor elements are impregnated with synthetic resin to increase the insulation strength, but also the capacitor elements are insulated with synthetic resin by having their outer periphery molded of synthetic resin. This provides high-tension capacitors having no fear of fire or explosion due to insulation failure.
Further, in accordance with the present invention, relaxation layers made of an elastic material are provided at regular radial spacings in each capacitor element to prevent cracking of the dielectric layers and the peeling at the boundary between the electrode layers and the dielectric layers.
Still further, in accordance with the present invention, a plurality of air ducts are formed in the insulating layer around the capacitor elements to dissipate heat from each of the capacitor elements and prevent the temperature of the capacitor elements from rising abnormally.
According to the present invention, without using any liquid or gaseous insulating material, high-quality, explosion-proof, non-inflammable high-tension capacitors are provided.
Other objects and features of the present invention will become apparent from the following description taken with references to the accompanying drawings, in which:
Fig. 1 is a sectional view of a conventional high-tension capacitor;
Fig. 2 is a sectional view of a high-tension capacitor embodying the present invention;
Fig. 3 is a horizontal sectional view taken along the line X-X of Fig. 2;
Fig. 4 is a view similar to Fig. 3 of another embodiment;
Fig. 5 to Fig. 8 are plan views of examples of capacitor elements;
Fig. 9 is a sectional view of the dielectric layer;
Fig. 10 is a sectional view of the capacitor element not rolled.
Fig. 11 is a sectional view of a further embodiment similar to the embodiment of Fig. 3 but having a plurality of air ducts; and
Fig. 12 is a sectional view of a still further embodiment similar to the embodiment of Fig.
4 but having a plurality of air ducts.
Referring now to the drawings, Fig. 9 shows a dielectric layer a which comprises an easily impregnated and porous insulating material 2 such as non-woven or woven cloth attached to both sides of a film 1 of synthetic resin such as polyester or polypropylene. The capacitor elements A shown in Figs. 5 and 6 are made by overlapping the dielectric layers a and the electrode layers b alternately as shown in Fig. 10 and rolling the laminate.
A plurality of the capacitor elements A are arranged along wiring 6' as shown in Fig. 2.
The gap C and the periphery B are filled with an easily impregnated electrical insulating material such as glass tape, glass cloth, glass mat, glass chop, non-woven cloth or paper to a predetermined peripheral shape. The assembly of capacitor elements is then put into a- metal die as shown in Fig. 2 and is subjected to heat drying and vacuum drying and then to impregnation with a synthetic resin such as epoxy resin under high vacuurn. The porous part of the dielectric layers a and the insulating material are impregnated with the same resin at one time. For better impregnation, the temperature of synthetic resin should be kept at 1009C and its viscosity be lowered to about 20 cp, and high vacuum be kept for over three -6hours.This ensures that the dielectric layers a have good insulation. Further, the outer covering is molded of synthetic resin together with the capacitor elements.
Although in the preferred embodiment the impregnation of the capacitor elements and the formation of the insulating layer around the capacitor elements are performed simultaneously, the capacitor elements may be im pregnated and mounted in a metal mold, and an insulating layer may be formed around the capacitor elements. This method has an advantage that different synthetic resins can be used, namely, resin having a good impregnability and low viscosity for the capacitor elements, and a resin having a good strength and high viscosity for the insulating layer.
In forming a capacitor element A by overlapping the electrode layers b and the dielectric layers a, as shown in Figs. 7 and 8, relaxation layers 9 made of an elastic material such as Hycar cork, cork sponge and press board should be interposed at regular intervals t.
The layers between the relaxation layers 9 are electrically connected in parallel with each other. The relaxation layers absorb the shrinking force upon hardening of the synthetic resin, preventing the cracking of the dielectric layers and the peeling at the boundary between the electrode layer and the dielectric layer and thus precluding the decrease of the insulation strength. The distance t between the relaxation layers 9 may be determined suitably. If the thickness T of the capacitor element is e.g. 50 mm, the distance t should be 10-20 mm for greater workability, though the smaller, the better.
Referring to Fig. 11, this embodiment is the same as that of Fig. 3 except-that a plurality of square or rectangular air ducts 10 are formed in the insulating layer around the capacitor elements to extend axially. Similarly, the embodiment of Fig. 12 is the same as that of
Fig. 4 except that a plurality of air ducts 10' of an elongate cross-section are formed in the insulating layer to extend axially. The air ducts may be of any desired section.
The air ducts 10 or 10' may be formed at the same time as the molding of the insulating layer. As shown in Fig. 11, the air ducts may be formed so that part of the outer periphery of the capacitor elements will be exposed to the air duct to cause the capacitor element to be directly air-cooled. Air may be passed through the air duct by natural or forced ventilation. The air ducts air-cool the capacitor elements, thus prolonging the life of the capacitor elements.
The present invention is particularly but not exclusively applicable to the design and construction of high tension power capacitors rated at 5 to 100kVA. Typical rated working voltages are of the order of 1 to 10kV, e.-g.
3.3kV or 6.6kV.
