Abstract
Thomson coil actuators are provided. A Thomson coil actuator according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: a first Thomson coil; A second Thomson coil spaced a predetermined distance from the first Thomson coil; As the power is applied to the first Thomson coil or the second Thomson coil, the first Thomson coil or the second Thomson coil is lowered toward the second Thomson coil side or raised toward the first Thomson coil side by an electromagnetic repulsive force with the first Thomson coil or the second Thomson coil. Mover; And a power unit for sequentially applying the power to the first and second Thomson coils and the second Thomson coil before completion of the upward or downward movement of the mover to reduce the amount of impact of the mover when the mover moves up or down.
Description
Embodiments of the invention relate to Thomson coil actuators.
Generally, when an overcurrent and a short circuit occur in a power system, a fault current of several tens of times the rated current instantaneously flows, and the circuit breaker (or switch) quickly blocks or minimizes such a fault current Thereby minimizing equipment damage at the lower end. Actuators are required to drive the breakers or switches, and there are various types of actuators depending on the driving method. Among these, the Thomson Coil Actuator is an actuator that is driven by the electromagnetic repulsive force between the coil and the mover, and has a faster operating characteristic than a general actuator. That is, for a typical actuator, the operating time is 20 to 30 ms, while the Thomson coil actuator completes operation within a few milliseconds.
However, due to this fast operation characteristic, the mover of the Thomson coil actuator moves fast, and when the operation of the Thomson coil actuator is completed, there is a risk that the mover will be greatly impacted by the contact portion of the circuit breaker and damage the Thomson coil actuator.
Embodiments of the present invention are directed to providing a Thomson coil actuator having electromagnetic brake characteristics.
According to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, a first Thomson coil; A second Thomson coil spaced a predetermined distance from the first Thomson coil; As the power is applied to the first Thomson coil or the second Thomson coil, the first Thomson coil or the second Thomson coil is lowered toward the second Thomson coil side or raised toward the first Thomson coil side by an electromagnetic repulsive force with the first Thomson coil or the second Thomson coil. Mover; And a power unit for sequentially applying power to the first and second Thomson coils and the second Thomson coil before completion of the rising or lowering of the mover to reduce the amount of the impact that the mover receives when the mover moves up or down, Thomson coil actuators are provided.
The power unit may apply power to the second Thomson coil before the lowering of the mover is completed after the power source is applied to the first Thomson coil.
The power unit may apply power to the first Thomson coil before the rising of the mover is completed after the power source is applied to the second Thomson coil.
Wherein the Thomson coil actuator further comprises a sensor for sensing movement of the mover, wherein the power unit receives a sense signal from the sensor when the mover passes a set point, Power can be applied to the coil or the second Thomson coil.
The power unit may predict a time point at which the mover passes through the set point using the set moving speed of the mover, and apply power to the first or second Thomson coil at the predicted time.
According to the embodiments of the present invention, power is applied to the first Thomson coil or the second Thomson coil before the rising or falling of the mover is completed to generate an electromagnetic repulsive force, thereby reducing the amount of the impact that the mover receives when the mover ascends or descends Which can prevent damage to the Thomson coil actuator.
