Definitions
- Such monitoring can take place in such a way that the module is subjected to an electrical, optical or acoustic test pulse and the reaction of the module due to a special property of the component is detected and evaluated.
- An electrical device in which components need to be monitored for their functionality during operation are, for example, electrical switching devices.
- electrical switching devices For medium-voltage switchgear that uses a vacuum
- Contain 20 switching tube a method for monitoring the pressure of the vacuum switching tube known, in which ultrasonic waves are sent as acoustic test pulses in the vacuum switching tube and in which ultrasound waves reflected in the vacuum switching tube are received and in which those received
- Circuit breakers that are integrated in power distribution networks in the low-voltage range are triggered a switching process used, among other things, undervoltage and overcurrent releases that have a release magnet; when the release magnet responds, the circuit breaker is triggered (brochure "Circuit breaker 3WN1" from Siemens AG, 1986, pages 1 to 13).
- the overcurrent releases used in such switches are designed as "magnetically bonded” releases, i.e. they have one Trigger coil applied to the magnetic core, an impact anchor, which is under the action of a magnetic or mechanical spring, and a captive magnet associated with the impact anchor.
- the shackle magnet is a permanent magnet that, when the trigger is at rest, holds the anchor in the ready-to-fire position.
- the magnetic field generated by the tripping coil weakens the magnetic field of the captive magnet so that it can move under the influence of the magnetic field generated and / or the spring force (DE 27 55 645 Bl, DE 42 38 939 AI).
- the desired tripping current precisely and to prevent the setting from being influenced by shocks and vibrations. This is no longer guaranteed if the remanence of the permanent magnet, with which the impact armature is held before triggering, decreases in the course of an aging process.
- the invention is therefore based on the object to provide a way to monitor the holding force of the captive magnet.
- the trigger coil at a time before the due to the Overcurrent predicted activation of the tripping magnet is loaded with a current pulse, the duration of which is below the duration required for the tripping coil to respond.
- the tripping voltage given to the tripping coil for the test purpose has the same value as the tripping voltage intended for the actual tripping, but the voltage pulse must be chosen to be shorter in time. Due to the inductance of the tripping coil, the current does not exceed the value required for tripping if the permanent magnet is intact.
- the triggering of the trigger coil which is used to monitor the holding force of the permanent magnet, can also be carried out in several increasing stages by gradually increasing the duration of the test pulses applied in succession.
- a particular advantage of the new monitoring method is that it does not require any additional mechanical or electrical or electronic components, but rather only through appropriate programming in the microprocessor assigned to the overcurrent release. calls. Switches that are already in operation can be switched on
- EPROMS Fixed memory exchange
- the monitoring method designed according to the invention is expediently used only in the case of so-called “time-uncritical" triggers, that is to say not in the event of a short circuit or in the case of very high currents.
- Time-uncritical tripping occurs when the tripping time predicted when an overcurrent occurs is more than 3 s.
- a circuit arrangement with which the new monitoring method can be carried out is shown in the figure.
- Part of the circuit arrangement is a rectifier circuit 5, which is fed via the secondary winding 4 of a current transformer 3 from a phase 1 of a low-voltage power distribution network.
- a trigger magnet 11 is assigned to the rectifier circuit 5 as a consumer, which, when activated, controls a switch 2 arranged in phase 1 of the low-voltage high-voltage power network.
- a diode 14 and an electronic switch 12 are arranged.
- the electronic switch 12 can be controlled directly or - by means of a control circuit 15 - indirectly from a microprocessor-controlled trigger circuit 8.
- Both the trigger circuit 8 and further electronic components of the circuit are supplied with voltage by a power supply unit 7, which contains a voltage regulator.
- a charging capacitor 6 and an electronic switch 10 are also arranged parallel to the trigger magnet 11, the electronic switch 10 for regulating the charging voltage of the Charging capacitor 6 is used and can be controlled directly or - by means of a control circuit 9 - indirectly from the microprocessor-controlled trigger circuit 8.
- An overcurrent occurring in the low-voltage power distribution network is communicated to the trigger circuit 8 by a corresponding voltage drop across the measuring resistor 13.
- the microprocessor contained in the trip circuit 8 calculates the expected trip time for the trip magnet 11 due to the size of the overcurrent.
- the microprocessor is further programmed to operate about 50 to 100 ms before the trip magnet 11 is triggered by actuating the electronic switch 12 gives a test pulse to the trigger magnet 11, the duration of which is shorter than the duration required to respond to the trigger magnet. If this control leads to the triggering of the trigger magnet 11, then this is a sign that the captive magnet no longer has the required remanence.
- the premature triggering is registered by the trigger circuit 8 and can be displayed as an error.
