Description

  The present invention relates to arresters and arrester mounting portions, and more particularly to arresters and arrester mounting portions that can reduce the size and weight of an insulating cylinder that accommodates an arrester element stack.

  In general, gas insulated switchgear installed in power plants, substations, etc. are provided with arresters to protect electrical equipment such as switchgears and transformers from abnormal voltages entering from the track during lightning strikes. Yes.

  Conventionally, as this type of arrester, as shown in FIG. 8, a fixed bushing 120 is airtightly attached to the inner wall of the device case 110, and an insulating cylinder 140 in which the arrester element laminate 130 is accommodated in the receiving port 120 a of the fixed bushing 120. There is known one in which the tip portion 140a is plugged in (for example, Patent Document 1).

  However, in such a solid-insulated 22 kV class plug-in arrester, the potential distribution is determined by the positional relationship between the arrester element stack 130 and the shielding layer 150 provided on the outer periphery of the insulating cylinder 140. When the outer diameter is thin, there is a problem that the electric field concentrates on the high voltage side of the arrester element stack 130 as shown in the equipotential distribution diagram of FIG.

  For this reason, as shown in FIG. 10, a solid-insulated plug-in arrester in which the outer diameter of the insulating cylinder 240 is increased has been devised. In this plug-in arrester, as in the above-described plug-in arrester, the distal end portion 240a of the insulating cylinder 240 that houses the arrester element laminated body 230 is plugged into the receiving port 220a of the fixed bushing 220.

Thus, the weight of the insulating cylinder 240 and the metal case 260 is increased, the assembling work of the arrester is deteriorated, and the material cost is also increased.

  Second, when the outer diameter of the insulating cylinder (shielding layer 250) 240 is increased, the outer diameter of the insulating cylinder 240 becomes larger than the inner diameter of the receiving port 220a of the fixed bushing 220 (the diameter of the receiving port 220a). If a pressing mechanism 270 for applying a surface pressure to the interface between the receiving port 220a of the fixed bushing 220 and the front end portion 240a of the insulating tube 240 is disposed at the rear end of the insulating tube 240 having an outer diameter, the shaft of the arrester The length of the direction becomes longer.

  Third, when the attachment mechanism portion of the metal case 260 is used as a means for applying a surface pressure to the interface between the receiving port 220a of the fixed bushing 220 and the distal end portion 240a of the insulating tube 240, specifically, the metal Bolts 280 are inserted into bolt insertion holes 260a provided from the rear end portion of the case 260 to the front end portion, and the screw holes of the embedded metal fitting 290 in which the front end portion of the bolt 280 is embedded on the rear end side of the fixed bushing 220 When the tightening force of the bolt 280 that is screwed to the bolt is used, the length of the bolt insertion hole 260a in the axial direction becomes long, so that the attachment mechanism portion (the bolt insertion hole 260a of the metal case 260, the bolt 280, and When the straightness accuracy is required for the embedded metal fitting 290 or the like) and the straightness accuracy is low, a gap is generated at the interface, and the insulation characteristics of the arrester are deteriorated.

  In the figure, reference numeral 91a denotes a shield provided so as to cover the vicinity of the front end portion of the receiving port 92, and 95 denotes an embedded metal fitting having a screw hole embedded in the rear end portion of the fixed bushing 9. .

The fixed bushing 9 having such a structure has its rear end abutted against the inner wall side of the device case C via the O-ring R2 and fastened with a bolt (not shown) so that the fixed bushing 9 is airtight on the inner wall side of the device case C. Attached to. The device case C is filled with an insulating gas such as SF ₆ gas.

  On the other hand, the arrester is assembled and fixed as follows.

  First, the pressure release plate 72 is disposed from the inside of the small diameter cylindrical portion 62 on the inner periphery of the locking portion 63 constituting the metal case 6 and the lid member 71 having the O ring R1 disposed from the outside of the small diameter cylindrical portion 62 is disposed. Then, both are fastened and fixed with bolts V1 and V1. In parallel with this, the high voltage electrode 3, the arrester element laminate 4 and the ground electrode 5 are arranged as shown in FIG. The high-voltage electrode 3, the arrester element laminate 4 and the ground electrode 5 are integrated by rotating. The high voltage electrode 3, arrester element stack 4 and ground electrode 5 integrated in this way are accommodated in the insertion hole 16 of the insulating cylinder 1 after the high voltage spring S is accommodated in the accommodation hole 31 of the high voltage electrode 3. 3 is inserted toward the conductor 2 side. In this case, it is preferable that both ends of the two conductive members Sa inserted into the high-pressure side spring S are folded back to the outside of the high-pressure side spring S.

  FIG. 4 shows an equipotential distribution diagram in the mounting portion of the arrester of the present invention.

  From this figure, it can be seen that by increasing the outer diameter of the insulating cylinder 1 corresponding to the high-pressure side of the arrester element laminate 4, the electric field in the large-diameter portion 12 of the insulating cylinder 1 is relaxed.

As described above, according to the arrester and the mounting portion of the arrester of the present invention, first, by increasing the outer diameter of the insulating cylinder 1 corresponding to the high-pressure side of the arrester element stack 4 where the electric field is concentrated, the arrester The concentration of the electric field on the high voltage side of the element stack 4 can be relaxed. Second, by reducing the outer diameter of the insulating cylinder 1 corresponding to the low pressure side of the arrester element stack 4 where the electric field is not concentrated, The outer diameter of the rear end portion side of the metal case 6 surrounding the insulating cylinder 1 and the like can be reduced, and the weight of the insulating cylinder 1 and the metal case 6 can be reduced accordingly, and the arrester is assembled. The workability is also improved and the material cost is reduced. Third, the taper outer surface 18 provided at the connecting portion between the large diameter portion 12 of the insulating cylinder 1 and the small diameter portion 15 of the insulating cylinder 1 serves as an attachment mechanism portion. Abutting the taper inner surface 64 of the metal case 6 The length of the arrester in the axial direction can be made about 10% shorter than the length of the conventional arrester. Fourth, the length of the metal case 6 as the mounting mechanism is shortened in the axial direction. There is an effect that a high degree of straightness is not required for the mechanical unit.
[Example 2]
FIG. 5 is a partial sectional view showing an example of a 22 kV class arrester in the second embodiment of the present invention. In the figure, the same parts as those in FIG. 1 are denoted by the same reference numerals, and detailed description thereof is omitted. Further, in FIG. 5, the illustration of the shielding layer 19 on the insulating cylinder 1 shown in FIG. 1 is omitted for easy understanding.

  In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5, the outer peripheral surface of the insulating cylinder 1, particularly the outer peripheral surface of the large-diameter portion 12 of the insulating cylinder 1 having a high electric field is applied to the inner peripheral surface at the corresponding position of the metal case 6. By being in contact with each other, it is configured so that a diameter difference does not occur between the inner peripheral surface of the metal case 6 and the outer peripheral surface of the insulating cylinder 1.

  Here, when there is a diameter difference between the inner diameter of the metal case 6 and the outer diameter of the insulating cylinder 1, that is, as shown in FIG. 6, a gap G is formed between the inner peripheral surface of the metal case 6 and the outer peripheral surface of the insulating cylinder 1. We will describe the problems when there is

  First, in the plug-in arrester configured to insert the arrester element stack 4 into the insulating cylinder 1, when the outer peripheral surface of the arrester element stack 4 is not inserted in close contact with the inner peripheral surface of the insulating cylinder 1, that is, If there is a gap g between the inner peripheral surface of the insulating cylinder 1 and the outer peripheral surface of the arrester element laminate 4, partial discharge may occur due to the gap g, and required characteristics may not be obtained. Further, in the plug-in arrester having such a configuration, in order to ensure the surface pressure at the interface between the inner peripheral surface of the receiving port 92 of the fixed bushing 9 and the outer peripheral surface of the distal end portion 11 of the insulating tube 1, the insulating tube 1 Must be pressed toward the fixed bushing 9 as indicated by arrows Y1 and Y2.

  However, when a gap G of, for example, several mm exists between the inner peripheral surface of the metal case 6 and the outer peripheral surface of the insulating cylinder 1, the tip 11 of the insulating cylinder 1 is pressed against the fixed bushing 9, When the insulating cylinder 1 is pressed toward the fixed bushing 9, the insulating cylinder 1 is deformed and spreads outward in the radial direction as indicated by a dotted line Y3 in the gap G. There is a possibility that a gap g is generated between the outer peripheral surface and the inner peripheral surface of the insulating cylinder 1.

  Therefore, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5, the outer peripheral surface of the insulating cylinder 1, particularly, the outer peripheral surface of the large-diameter portion 12 of the insulating cylinder 1 having a high electric field is the inner peripheral surface at a corresponding position of the metal case 6. The inner peripheral surface of the metal case 6 and the outer peripheral surface of the insulating tube 1 by preventing the diameter difference between the inner peripheral surface of the metal case 6 and the outer peripheral surface of the insulating tube 1. It is comprised so that the clearance gap G may not arise between them.

In the arrester having such a configuration, when the insulating cylinder 1 is pressed toward the fixed bushing 9 as indicated by the arrows Y1 and Y2, the insulating cylinder 1 tends to expand radially outward as indicated by the arrow Y4. Since there is no gap at the place to be done, the insulating cylinder does not spread radially outward, but tends to spread radially inward as indicated by arrow Y5. Therefore, in this embodiment, there is no possibility that the gap g is generated between the inner peripheral surface of the insulating cylinder 1 and the outer peripheral surface of the arrester element laminate 4, and as a result, an arrester having excellent partial discharge performance and insulating performance can be provided. it can. Further, even if there is a gap g between the inner peripheral surface of the insulating cylinder 1 and the outer peripheral face of the arrester element stack 4, the gap g can be crushed. Skillless insertion work can be achieved. The outer diameter of the insulating cylinder 1 is set to be slightly larger than the inner diameter of the metal case 6 in particular, so that the outer diameter of the large diameter portion 12 having a high electric field is slightly larger than the inner diameter of the metal case 6. It may be in close contact with the inner peripheral surface. Further, since the electric field is small on the small diameter portion 15 side of the insulating tube 1, there may be a gap between the inner peripheral surface of the metal case 6 and the outer peripheral surface of the insulating tube 1.

Further, in FIG. 5, the illustration of the shielding layer 19 on the insulating cylinder 1 shown in FIG. 1 is omitted for easy understanding.

  In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 7, on the outer periphery of the insulating cylinder 1, particularly on the outer periphery of the large-diameter portion 12 of the insulating cylinder 1 where the electric field of the insulating cylinder 1 is high, there is a corresponding position of the metal case 6. An inclusion F for filling a gap G (see FIG. 6) between the inner peripheral surface of the insulating cylinder 1 and the outer peripheral surface of the large-diameter portion 12 of the insulating cylinder 1 is provided.

  As such an inclusion F, a rubber tape made of butyl rubber or the like that is made of butyl rubber or the like vertically attached to the outer peripheral surface of the insulating cylinder 1 along the longitudinal direction, or a rubber tape made of butyl rubber or the like wrapped around the outer peripheral face of the insulating cylinder 1 is used. Examples thereof include a cylindrical metal fitting made of a wound layer or an aluminum metal fitting inserted between the inner peripheral surface of the metal case 6 and the outer peripheral surface of the insulating cylinder 1.

  Also in this embodiment, since the diameter difference between the metal case 6 and the insulating cylinder 1 is eliminated, even if the insulating cylinder 1 is pressed toward the fixed bushing 9 as in the second embodiment, There is no possibility that a gap g is generated between the peripheral surface and the outer peripheral surface of the arrester element laminate 4, and as a result, an arrester having excellent partial discharge performance and insulation performance can be provided. Similarly to the second embodiment, even if there is a gap g between the inner peripheral surface of the insulating cylinder 1 and the outer peripheral surface of the arrester element laminated body 4, the gap g can be crushed. Skill-less insertion of the arrester element laminate 4 into the cylinder 1 can be achieved.

  The present invention can be changed and modified as follows within the scope of the claims.

However, a vertical attachment layer or a winding layer made of a plastic resin tape may be provided. Further, a cylindrical member made of a hard plastic resin may be inserted instead of the cylindrical metal fitting made of an aluminum metal fitting or the like interposed between the inner peripheral surface of the metal case 6 and the outer peripheral surface of the insulating cylinder 1. Furthermore, the method of filling the gap G is not limited, for example, a rubber sheet is attached to the inner peripheral surface of the metal case 6 to fill the gap G.
