Definitions

  • ABSTRACT A high tension network distribution system which comprises high voltage feeders connected in a nettype for carrying electric power of commercial frequency, distribution transformers connected to said feeders, feeder breakers at the ends of said feeders adjacent to the associated substation therefor, protector breakers at the ends of said feeders adjacent to their feeding points, a carrier signal transmitter for applying zero-phase-sequence carrier signals across said feeders and ground, an insulating transformer for transmitting said electric power of commercial frequency between adjacent feeders, but not for transmitting said carrier signal between the adjacent feeders, and signal receivers for receiving said zero-phase-sequence carrier signals from the feeders, said protector breakers including relay means for closing the corresponding breaker when the corresponding receiver receives the carrier signal and for opening the breaker when the receiver does not receive the carrier signal.
  • the so-called low tension network distribution system has been generally employed.
  • the low tension sides of a plurality of distribution transformers respectively connected to different feeders are connected in a net type and generally, electric power is supplied from the distribution transformer connected to one feeder and the distribution transformer connected to the other feeder to the low voltage main line to which loads are connected.
  • Such distribution transformers are generally referred to network transformers.
  • the low voltage main line is served with electric power only from the distribution transformer the lower tension side of which is connected to the main line whereas the high voltage side of which is connected to the other feeder.
  • the network or distribution transformers are required to have a larger current capacity than that conventional distribution transformers have and the conductors on the low voltage sides of the transformers are required to have a large current capacity accordingly.
  • a system requires to employ large size transformers and conductors having a large cross-section area which renders the system expensive with respect to installation, material cost and operation.
  • the system has a complicate construction to such an extent that maintenance on the system becomes troublesome.
  • a feeder breaker is provided at the end of the feeder adjacent to the substation. And in order to disconnect the feeder in which failure occured from the net work, the end of the feeder adjacent to the feeding point thereof is provided with a network protector which is similar to that usually employed in a low tension network system.
  • This protector includes a breaker which is adapted to open as electric power is reversely supplied from the other feeder.
  • a breaker is not desirable because the protector frequently tends to malfunction.
  • the direction of electric power flowing through the protector is usually determined depending upon a particular phase relationship between the voltage and current employed, the electric current which flows through the feeder tends to lag or advance in phase with respect to the voltage due to the line impedance even if no failure occurs in the feeder. And also when there appears a component corresponding to a generator on the load side, the current to voltage phase relationship frequently varies substantially. In such a case, the protector operates inadvertently thereby to disconnect its feeder from the distribution transformer. In this way, the conventional high tension network distribution system has a disadvantage that the feeder is inadvertently disconnected.
  • one principal object of the present invention is to provide a high tension network distribution system in which only when failure has occured in one of the feeders, the particular feeder is disconnected from the distribution system.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a high tension network distribution system of the above type in which feeders can be individually disconnected from the distribution system.

Details of the control signal receiver will be described hereinbelow.
  • the main bus 1 is provided with a carrier generator or transmitter 2 which supplies carrier control signals to the feeders 32 and 42.
  • carrier control signals are high frequency zero-phase-sequence signals to be applied to a zero-phase-sequence circuit between the three conductors of the main bus 1 and the ground.
  • the carrier transmitter 2 comprises a signal oscillator 12 for generating high frequency signal, a voltage stabilizer 11 for stabilizing the high frequency signal from the oscillator and an amplifier 13 for amplifying the high frequency signal from the oscillator.
  • the output of the amplifier 13 has the frequency of 1 kHz, and the voltage of volts, for example.

  • a band-pass filter 25 Connected across the reactor 24 is a band-pass filter 25 which is adapted to remove any commercial frequency component undesirably included in a carrier signal developed across the reactor 24.
  • the carrier signal After having passed through the filter 25, the carrier signal is passed through an A.C. amplifier to be amplified thereby and the resultant amplified carrier signal is supplied to a level detector 27 which is adapted to compare the level of the carrier signal with noise level and generate a first signal when the level of the carrier signal is higher than the noise level and generate a second signal when the level of the carrier signal is lower than the noise level.

  • the protector breaker 43 comprises a breaker closing relay 49 and a breaker tripping relay 49.
  • these relays associated with the protective breaker 33 are generally shown by numeral 30 and the relays associated with the protective breaker 43 are generally shown by numeral 40.
  • the breaker closing relay 39 or 49 is exited by the first signal from the level detector 27 of the receiver 37 or 47 and closes the breaker 33 or 43.
  • the breaker tripping relay 39' or 49' is excited by the second signal from the level detector and opens the protector breaker 33 or 43.
  • the protector breaker when carrier signal is present in the high voltage feeder, the protector breaker is closed and when no carrier signal is present in the high voltage feeder, the protector breaker is open. It will be also appreciated that the plural feeders have only to be supplied with one type of signal and the signal can interrupt the protector breakers of the respective feeders.
  • the feeders 32 and 42 are respectively connected to high voltage network buses 34 and 44, respectively which each also comprises three conductors and adjacent network buses are connected to each other by a three-phase insulating transformers 5.
  • the feeders or network buses are connected to each other in a net like by means of the transformer or transformers.
  • the transformer transmits electric power of commercial frequency from one of adjacent network buses to the other, but does not transmit carrier signal. Therefore, it will be appreciated that when the feeder breaker of one of the feeders is interrupted to open the protector breaker associated with the particular feeder, carrier signal present in the other feeder will not be supplied to the first-mentioned feeder whereby the protector breaker of the first-mentioned feeder can be positively interrupted.

  • the overcurrent relay 39 is excited to trip or open the feeder breaker 31. And now, the failure current also flows through the insulating transformer 5 to the adjacent feeder 42. However, the electric current flowing through the feeder 42 is restricted to a small value by the leakage impeadance of the insulating transformer 5, the overcurrent relay on the feeder 42 will not be excited. As mentioned hereinabove, since the zerophase-sequence carrier signal flowing through the feeder 42 is not transmitted to the feeder 32 by the insulating transformer 5, when the feeder breaker 31 is opened, there is no zero-phase-sequence carrier signal present in the feeder 32. Thus, the tripping relay 39' (FIG.
