Current transformers are electrical appliances that change the voltage, frequency, phase and the other electric quantities or characteristics of power supply systems. A current transformer generally comprises a rectifier for converting alternating-current into direct-current (AC/DC) , a direct- current link (DC-link) with decoupling and filtering functions, and an inversion unit for converting direct-current into alternating-current (DC/AC) . The power conversion function of the current transformer is implemented by means of a specific circuit topology constituted of power semiconductor devices . Power semiconductor devices generate a significant amount of heat when working, and a good heat dissipation is thus required to ensure the working performance thereof.
At present, a specific cooling technique is generally used to realize the heat dissipation of the power semiconductor devices in the current transformer. The heat dissipation method can comprise natural cooling of a metal heat dissipator, enforcement of air cooling or liquid cooling by means of a combination of the metal heat dissipator and a fan, etc. For universal industrial current transformers which are price- sensitive, air cooling is the most extensively acceptable method .

It can be seen that the embodiments of the present invention integrate an inversion unit and a direct-current link unit, which constitute the current transformer, into one inversion filter assembly, such that a modularized and compact current transformer can be achieved.
Moreover, the rectifier assembly 21 and the inversion filter assembly 22 each contain a heat dissipator and a fan, and are provided with mutually independent cooling air ducts. Preferably, the direction of the cooling air duct of the rectifier assembly 21 is parallel to the first direction (namely, a height direction of the cabinet 20) , and a cooling direction of the inversion filter assembly 22 is parallel to a second direction.
Therefore, the rectifier assembly 21 and the inversion filter assembly 22 each have a relatively small air resistance, and the cooling efficiencies of the rectifier assembly 21 and the inversion filter assembly 22 are thus correspondingly improved, such that both the rectifier assembly 21 and the inversion filter assembly 22 can have a good cooling effect.
In the embodiments of the present invention, there are 3n inversion filter assemblies 22, and the inversion filter assemblies 22 have the same structure and respectively contain their own heat dissipators and fans, with n being a positive integer. The inversion filter assemblies 22 are respectively disposed in parallel along the first direction, and every three inversion filter assemblies 22 can constitute one path of a three-phase output, and the cooling air ducts of the inversion filter assemblies 22 are parallel to each other. Preferably, n can be 1 or 2, such that one path of a three-phase output or two paths of a three-phase output can be provided.
In an exemplary illustration of Fig. 1, there are three inversion filter assemblies 22, and the inversion filter assemblies 22 have the same structure and respectively contain their own heat dissipators and fans. Moreover, the three inversion filter assemblies 22 are vertically disposed according to the same arrangement direction. In this design, cooling air from the environment respectively dissipates the heat of the rectifier assembly 21 and the three inversion filter assemblies 22 by means of their respective heat dissipators, wherein the cooling air ducts of the three inversion filter assemblies 22 are parallel to each other, and the cooling air duct of the rectifier assembly 21 is perpendicular to the cooling air ducts of the three inversion filter assemblies 22.
In Fig. 2, the structure of the current transformer is described by taking three inversion filter assemblies 22 as an example, and a person skilled in the art would recognize that the number of the inversion filter assemblies 22 may also be any number that is an integer multiple of 3, such as 6, 9 or 12.
In one embodiment, the current transformer further comprises :
a common pipeline 23 extending, along the first direction, through the air outlet of the cooling air duct of each of the inversion filter assemblies 22. The common pipeline 23 is used for gathering gas streams which execute a cooling function for the inversion filter assemblies 22. It can be seen that, by arranging a common pipeline for the inversion filter assemblies 22, it is possible to make it convenient to gather gas streams of the inversion filter assemblies, so as to facilitate the centralized processing of the gas streams.
Preferably, each of the inversion filter assemblies 22 further comprises an adjustable air baffle plate 24 disposed at an air outlet. The adjustable air baffle plate 24 makes the air flows discharged, by the inversion filter assemblies 22, to the common pipeline 23 identical, thereby ensuring that the inversion filter assemblies 22 have the same cooling effect.
Based on the above-mentioned description, the embodiments of the present invention further propose an exemplary specific structure of the rectifier assembly 21.

As shown in Fig. 3, the rectifier assembly 21 comprises: a heat dissipator 214;
a fan 211 mounted at one side of the heat dissipator 214 in the first direction;
a three-phase input busbar 212 mounted on a side portion of the heat dissipator 214 in a second direction, which is different from the first direction; and
a rectifier bridge 213 mounted in the three-phase input busbar 212.
The fan 211 can be implemented as a single fan or a fan group comprising a plurality of fans.
The three-phase input busbar 212 serves as a three-phase input terminal and is used for inputting three-phase power; the rectifier bridge 213 is used for performing rectification processing on the three-phase power input by means of the three-phase input busbar 212; and the heat dissipator 214 and the fan 211 are used for performing cooling processing on the rectifier bridge 213, wherein blades of the fan 211 face heat dissipation fins of the heat dissipator 214. The rectifier bridge 213 may be disposed on one face of the heat dissipator 214, and may also be disposed on two opposite faces of the heat dissipator 214. In Fig. 2, the rectifier bridge 213 is disposed on two opposite faces of the heat dissipator 214. Preferably, the rectifier bridge 213 can comprise a rectifier diode.

Preferably, the rectifier bridge 213 can be implemented as a half rectifier bridge or a full rectifier bridge.
By taking the above Fig. 3 as an example, an exemplary specific structure of the rectifier assembly 21 is described in detail. A person skilled in the art would recognize that such description is merely exemplary, and is not intended to limit the scope of protection of the embodiments of the present invention .
Based on the above-mentioned description, the embodiments of the present invention further propose an exemplary specific structure of the inversion filter assembly 22.
Fig. 4 is an exemplary perspective view of the inversion filter assembly according to the embodiments of the present invention. In a coordinate system as shown in Fig. 4, a Y-axis direction is a first direction, an X-axis direction is a second direction, and a Z-axis direction is a third direction.
As shown in Fig. 4, the inversion filter assembly 22 comprises :
a heat dissipator 224;
a fan 223 mounted at one side of the heat dissipator 224 in the second direction;
a filter capacitor 221 located, in a third direction which is different from the first direction and the second direction, at one side of the heat dissipator 224;
a single-phase output busbar 227, which is located, in a direction which is different from the third direction, at the same side of the heat dissipator 224 as the filter capacitor 221, and is spaced apart from the filter capacitor 221 in the second direction;
an insulated gate bipolar transistor 226 located, in a direction which is different from the first direction, at one side of the heat dissipator 224; and
a laminated busbar 222 located, in a direction which is different from the first direction, at the same side of the heat dissipator 224 as the insulated gate bipolar transistor 226.
The filter capacitor 221 and the laminated busbar 222 are commonly used for performing filter processing, and the insulated gate bipolar transistor 226 is used for performing inversion processing. The heat dissipator 224 and the fan 223 are used for performing cooling processing on the insulated gate bipolar transistor 226, wherein blades of the fan 223 face heat dissipation fins of the heat dissipator 224, and the insulated gate bipolar transistor 226 is disposed on the heat dissipator 224. The filter capacitor 221 and the laminated busbar 222 in the inversion filter assembly 22 are located outside the air duct, and thus may not be subjected to the heat effect of the insulated gate bipolar transistor 226.
Preferably, the inversion filter assembly 22 further comprises a current sensor 225, a first bus terminal 228, a second bus terminal 229 and a single-phase output busbar 227. The first bus terminal 228 and the second bus terminal 229 are respectively connected to the common busbar disposed on the mechanism 20. The current sensor 225 is spaced apart from the single-phase output busbar 227 in the first direction, and is used for detecting the value of an inverted current; and the single-phase output busbar 227 serves as a single-phase output terminal, and is used for outputting the value of the inverted current .
In one embodiment, the inversion filter assembly 22 further comprises an adjustable air baffle plate (not shown in Fig. 4) disposed at the air outlet. By adjusting the adjustable air baffle plate, the air flow discharged by the inversion filter assemblies 22 to the common air duct can be adjusted.
By taking the above Fig. 4 as an example, an exemplary specific structure of the inversion filter assembly 22 is described in detail. A person skilled in the art would recognize that such description is merely exemplary, and is not intended to limit the scope of protection of the embodiments of the present invention.
Fig. 5 is a side view of an exemplary current transformer according to the embodiments of the present invention. Fig. 6 is a side view of a common air duct of an exemplary current transformer according to the embodiments of the present invention. In the coordinate systems shown in Figs. 5 and 6, a Y-axis direction is a first direction, an X-axis direction is a second direction, and a Z-axis direction is a third direction.
It can be seen that in the embodiments of the present invention, both the rectifier assembly 21 and each of the inversion filter assemblies 22 respectively have their own independent air ducts, and therefore, the air resistances of their own heat dissipation paths are relatively low, and the fan can work at a relatively high working point. Meanwhile, the cooling air of the rectifier assembly 21 and each of the inversion filter assemblies 22 comes from the surrounding environment, and the basic cooling temperature is lower and the heat dissipation efficiency is high; and the fan and the heat dissipator can be designed economically, thereby also having a cost advantage.
In addition, the embodiments of the present invention integrate an inversion unit and a direct-current link unit, which constitute the current transformer, into one inversion filter assembly, thereby achieving a modularized and compact current transformer. Therefore, a smaller cabinet can be used, and the depth of the cabinet can be fully utilized and the height thereof can be reduced.
In addition, since a modular design is used in the embodiments of the present invention, the inversion filter assembly and the rectifier assembly can be separately mounted and dismantled, such that the current transformer is easily assembled and dismantled, and maintenance thereof is facilitated .
