Abstract
Description
本発明は、電力変換装置用遮断器において発生するアークの防止方法に関するもの The present invention relates to a method for preventing an arc generated in a circuit breaker for a power converter.
電力変換装置用遮断器は、電力変換装置の起動時、停止時に回路を開閉する役割を持つ。電力変換装置の起動時は遮断器の接点が閉じると、充電抵抗器を通じて直流フィルタコンデンサが充電され、コンデンサ電圧がある一定値まで充電されると、充電抵抗器をスイッチにより短絡する。コンデンサ電圧が電源電圧と等しくなると電力変換装置は動作を開始し、負荷へ電力を供給する。
停止時は負荷への電力供給を停止させること、及び電源電圧とコンデンサ電圧が等しいことにより、遮断器に流れる電流はゼロになり遮断器はアークを発生することなく、回路を開放出来る。この後放電スイッチを閉じると、放電抵抗器によりコンデンサ電圧は放電される。
The circuit breaker for a power converter has a role of opening and closing a circuit when the power converter is started and stopped. When the power converter is activated, when the contact of the circuit breaker is closed, the DC filter capacitor is charged through the charging resistor, and when the capacitor voltage is charged to a certain value, the charging resistor is short-circuited by the switch. When the capacitor voltage becomes equal to the power supply voltage, the power converter starts operating and supplies power to the load.
When stopping, the power supply to the load is stopped, and the power supply voltage and the capacitor voltage are equal, so that the current flowing through the circuit breaker becomes zero and the circuit breaker can open the circuit without generating an arc. Thereafter, when the discharge switch is closed, the capacitor voltage is discharged by the discharge resistor.
起動時、直流フィルタコンデンサの充電途中で遮断器を開放した場合、遮断器の接点間にアークが発生することがある。この時アークにより充電抵抗を通じてコンデンサが充電されるが、この段階で放電スイッチが入ると放電回路が形成され、コンデンサは充電できなくなり、電源電圧とコンデンサ電圧との電位差から生じた微小な充電電流によりアークが継続し、遮断器を焼損させることがある。 If the circuit breaker is opened during the charging of the DC filter capacitor during startup, an arc may occur between the contacts of the circuit breaker. At this time, the capacitor is charged through the charging resistor by the arc, but when the discharge switch is turned on at this stage, a discharge circuit is formed, the capacitor cannot be charged, and a small charging current generated from the potential difference between the power supply voltage and the capacitor voltage The arc may continue and burn out the circuit breaker.
この改善策として直流フィルタコンデンサの充電途中で遮断器を開放した場合、スイッチにより充電抵抗を短絡し、入力電流検出器により入力電流ゼロを検出してから放電スイッチを閉じるアーク防止方法がある。 As an improvement measure, there is an arc prevention method in which when the circuit breaker is opened during the charging of the DC filter capacitor, the charging resistor is short-circuited by the switch, the input current detector detects zero input current, and then the discharge switch is closed.
背景技術には入力電流検出器を持たない電力変換装置では入力電流ゼロが確認できない問題があった。 In the background art, there is a problem that the input current zero cannot be confirmed in the power conversion device having no input current detector.
請求項1の発明によれば、
電源から遮断器、直流フィルタリアクトル、充電抵抗器と充電抵抗短絡用スイッチを並列接続した投入回路、該投入回路の出力側に設けられた直流フィルタコンデンサ、該直流フィルタコンデンサと並列に設けられた放電抵抗器と放電スイッチを直列接続した放電回路、前記直流フィルタコンデンサに蓄えられた直流電圧を入力とする負荷から構成される電力変換装置の該遮断器のアーク防止方法において、前記遮断器を開放動作した時に流れる微小な入力電流によって前記遮断器の接点間に発生するアークを遮断する場合、該充電抵抗短絡用スイッチを閉じた後、電圧検出器により入力電圧とコンデンサ電圧とを確認し、該入力電流が零であることを判断して該放電スイッチを閉じるように制御することを特徴とする。
According to the invention of claim 1,
Power supply circuit breaker, DC filter reactor, charging circuit and charging resistor short-circuit switch connected in parallel, DC filter capacitor provided on the output side of the charging circuit, discharge provided in parallel with the DC filter capacitor In the arc prevention method for the circuit breaker of a power converter comprising a discharge circuit in which a resistor and a discharge switch are connected in series, and a load that receives a DC voltage stored in the DC filter capacitor, the circuit breaker is opened. When the arc generated between the contact points of the circuit breaker is interrupted by a minute input current that flows, the input voltage and the capacitor voltage are confirmed by a voltage detector after closing the charging resistance short-circuit switch. Control is performed so as to close the discharge switch by judging that the current is zero.
請求項2の発明によれば、請求項1記載のアーク防止方法において、前記入力電流が零であることを判断する際、前記入力電流を、前記入力電圧と前記コンデンサ電圧との差電圧値を前記充電抵抗器の充電抵抗値で除して求める計算をし、前記入力電流が零であることを判断し前記放電スイッチを閉じるように制御することを特徴とする。 According to a second aspect of the present invention, in the arc prevention method according to the first aspect, when determining that the input current is zero, the input current is set to a difference voltage value between the input voltage and the capacitor voltage. The calculation is performed by dividing the charging resistor by the charging resistance value of the charging resistor, and it is determined that the input current is zero and the discharge switch is controlled to be closed.
すなわち、入力電流検出器を持たない電力変換装置でも入力電流ゼロを検出できるよう、入力電圧、コンデンサ電圧を用いて電位差を確認し、入力電流ゼロを判断し放電スイッチを閉じることを特徴とする。 That is, it is characterized in that the potential difference is confirmed using the input voltage and the capacitor voltage, the input current is determined to be zero, and the discharge switch is closed so that a power conversion device without an input current detector can detect zero input current.
入力電流検出器を持たない電力変換装置で、コンデンサ充電途中で遮断器を開放した場合でも確実に入力電流ゼロを判断してから放電スイッチを閉じるのでアークを防止できる。 Even if the circuit breaker is opened in the middle of charging the capacitor with a power conversion device that does not have an input current detector, the discharge switch is closed after reliably determining the input current to zero, thereby preventing arcing.
電力変換装置1に入力電圧検出器14、コンデンサ電圧検出器15を使用し、入力電流ゼロを判定する。
The
図1は本発明技術を示した回路図である。図2は図1、図3のタイミングチャートである。以下図2を参照しながら説明する。
図2のa点において電源電圧があり、直流フィルタコンデンサ電圧は0Vである。放電回路7のスイッチ2が開き、b点にて遮断器8が投入され入力電流は充電抵抗器6を通り充電開始する。c点にて遮断器8が開放した場合、遮断器8の接点間にアークが発生した状態となる。d点にて図1のスイッチ1により充電抵抗器6を短絡し、入力電流を増大させることにより、遮断器8は入力電流を遮断し、アークを消弧することが出来る。またコンデンサ電圧検出器15により入力電圧=コンデンサ電圧を検出して、入力電流ゼロを判断してからe点にて放電回路7のスイッチ2を閉じ、コンデンサ電圧を放電させる。f点にてコンデンサ電圧は放電終了する。
