[Detailed description of the invention]

[Object of the invention]

0002

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a forced air-cooled phase separation busbar, and more particularly to an improvement in its cooling structure.

0003

[Background Art] With the increase in demand for electricity in recent years, the capacity of generators and transformers has become even larger. A forced air-cooled phase separation bus having a forced cooling structure is used as the phase separation main bus that connects the terminal boxes of the devices individually. In other words, in this forced air cooling type phase separation bus, a cooling device is connected to the phase separation main bus, and cooling gas is forcibly circulated by this cooling device, thereby cooling the phase separation main bus and the output terminal box of the generator. It cools the air with forced air. Generally, forced cooling air is sent from a cooling device to the phase separation main bus of both end phases, and this forced cooling air is collected at the output terminal box of the generator to the phase separation main bus of the central phase, and then It is returned to the cooling device through the phase main bus bar. In this case, the output terminal box of the generator is provided with a special return air guide in order to collect the forced cooling air into the central phase. Similarly, a return air guide is provided on the terminal box side of the transformer to collect forced cooling air to the phase separation main bus of the central phase.

[0004] Furthermore, as the capacity of transformers is increasing, the connection structure between transformers and generators is increasing.
Usually, two transformers are connected in parallel to one large capacity transformer. As a result, the neutral point short circuit busbar box of the generator has a relatively small capacity even though it is a heat generating part, so it is generally of a self-cooling type.

[0005]

However, as the capacity of generators is expected to increase in the future, it is expected that one large capacity transformer will be connected to one generator. In this case, the amount of heat generated in the neutral point short-circuited bus box of the generator increases significantly compared to the conventional case. Therefore, in the conventional forced air-cooled phase-separated bus in which the generator's neutral point short circuit bus box is self-cooled, it is no longer possible to sufficiently cool the neutral point short circuit bus box. It becomes necessary to cool it down. However, in response to such needs, it is difficult to forcibly cool the generator's neutral point short-circuit bus box separately and independently from the forced cooling of the phase-separated main bus and the generator's output terminal box. This is inconvenient as it increases the number of devices and makes the entire facility larger and more complex. In addition, special return air guides must be placed in the generator output terminal box and the transformer terminal box, which increases the number of components, which also increases the overall size of the equipment.・
This is a contributing factor to the complexity.

The present invention was proposed to solve the problems of the prior art, and its purpose is to utilize the existing forced cooling structure of the phase separation main bus and the output terminal box of the generator. Furthermore, the purpose is to perform forced cooling of the neutral point short-circuited bus box of the generator and to achieve high cooling efficiency as a whole. Another object of the present invention is to provide a forced air-cooled phase separation bus bar with excellent cooling efficiency, which can contribute to downsizing and simplifying the entire equipment by sharing such a cooling device. Another purpose is to make it possible to omit the return air guide, thereby further contributing to the downsizing and simplification of the entire facility.

[Configuration of the invention]

[0008]

[Means for Solving the Problems] The forced air-cooled phase separation busbar of the present invention has a central structure in which three-phase individual output terminal boxes arranged in parallel and three-phase parts arranged in parallel are collectively housed. A generator with a short-circuited bus box, a transformer with a terminal box, and a three-phase phase-separated main that connects the output terminal box of each of the three phases of the generator and the terminal box of the transformer individually. Forced air cooling of the phase separation main bus is achieved by sending cooling gas into the phase separation main bus through the bus and the air outlet, and recovering the cooling gas from within the phase separation main bus through the suction port. In a forced air-cooled phase separation bus with a cooling device, the output terminal box of each of the three phases of the generator and the corresponding phase part of the generator's neutral point short circuit bus box are sealed in individual ducts or between the phases. They are characterized by being connected by a common duct with partitions.

In this case, arc migration in the case where a ground fault occurs inside the individual ducts of both end phases or inside the end phase portions of the common duct, inside the phase separation main bus bar or inside the output terminal box of the generator is detected. Preferably, a baffle or grid is provided to prevent this.

[0010] Furthermore, it is desirable to provide a damper for adjusting the air volume inside the individual ducts of the central phase or inside the central phase section of the common duct.

Furthermore, it is preferable that the air outlet of the cooling device be connected to the phase separation main bus of both end phases, and that the suction port of the cooling device be connected to the phase separation main bus of the central phase.

0012

[Operation] In the forced air cooling type phase separation bus of the present invention having the above-described configuration, the cooling gas blown from the cooling device first flows into the phase separation main bus of both end phases, and the phase separation bus of the both end phases is separated. Forced air cooling is applied to the main separation bus. Next, the cooling gas flows into the output terminal boxes of both end phases of the generator, respectively.
Forced air cooling is applied to the output end bushing connections of both end phases. The cooling gas then passes through the duct and enters both end phases of the generator's neutral shorting bus box, flows through the neutral shorting bus box toward the center, and flows through the neutral bushing connection. Forced air cooling is applied to the short-circuited busbar at the neutral point. After this, the cooling gas flows from the central part of the neutral short circuit bus box through the duct to the output terminal box of the central phase of the generator to force-air-cool the output end bushing connection of the central phase, Furthermore, it flows into the phase separation main bus of the central phase, and this central phase phase separation main bus is forcedly cooled.
Finally, it returns to the cooling device.

As described above, in the present invention, the output terminal boxes of each of the three phases of the generator and the corresponding phase portions of the neutral point short circuit bus box are connected by ducts, and the connection relationship with the cooling device is By improving the simple structure of limiting, the existing forced cooling structure of the phase-separated main bus and generator output terminal box can be utilized to cool the phase-separated main bus, generator output terminal box, and neutral point short-circuit bus box. can be efficiently cooled by one cooling system. Additionally, the number of cooling devices can be reduced compared to the case where the forced cooling of the generator's neutral point short-circuit bus box is performed separately from the forced cooling of the phase-separated main bus and the generator's output terminal box. This is extremely advantageous because the entire equipment can be made smaller and simpler.

Furthermore, if a baffle or grid is provided inside the individual ducts of both end phases or inside the end phase portions of a common duct, a ground fault can be prevented inside the phase separation main bus or inside the output terminal box of the generator. If this occurs, the baffle or grid can prevent arc migration, thereby preventing one-phase short-circuiting of the windings of the generator.

[0015] Furthermore, when placing a cooling device between the generator and the main transformer, it is generally placed so that the busbar length on the generator side is shortened. Most of the air flows out, making it impossible to balance the cooling characteristics of the phase-separated main bus on the generator side and the main bus on the transformer side. On the other hand, by installing a damper to adjust the air volume inside the individual ducts of the central phase or inside the central phase section of the common duct, the air volume can be divided almost equally between the generator side and the transformer side. Therefore, it is possible to balance the cooling characteristics of the phase-separated main bus on the generator side and the phase-separated main bus on the transformer side.
