Description

鉄共振抑制装置及びそれを備えた電圧変成器Iron resonance suppression device and voltage transformer equipped with it
 本発明は、送電線又は電力設備において電圧を測定するための電圧変成器における鉄共振現象を抑制するための鉄共振抑制装置及びそれを備えた電圧変成器に関する。 The present invention relates to an iron resonance suppression device for suppressing an iron resonance phenomenon in a voltage transformer for measuring voltage in a transmission line or an electric power facility, and a voltage transformer provided therewith.
 鉄心を有する電力機器(変圧器、電圧変成器等)は、励磁インダクタンスLを有す。一方、回路系には静電容量Cが共存している回路であるために、回路の開放及び接続時(遮断器等の開閉時)に、その過渡現象のため、励磁インダクタンスLを構成する鉄心が一時的に磁気飽和し、L-C間でエネルギー授受が起き、その振動が持続して、異常音の発生、過熱による焼損、絶縁破壊等を引き起こすことがある。この現象は鉄共振現象として知られている。鉄共振現象は、鉄心の飽和現象を起点とする電気的擾乱現象である。 Power equipment with an iron core (transformer, voltage transformer, etc.) has an exciting inductance L. On the other hand, since the circuit system is a circuit in which the capacitance C coexists, the iron core constituting the exciting inductance L due to the transient phenomenon when the circuit is opened and connected (when the circuit breaker or the like is opened and closed). Is temporarily magnetically saturated, energy is transferred between the circuits, and the vibration is sustained, which may cause abnormal noise, burning due to overheating, dielectric breakdown, and the like. This phenomenon is known as the iron resonance phenomenon. The iron resonance phenomenon is an electrical disturbance phenomenon starting from the saturation phenomenon of the iron core.
 下記非特許文献1には、図4に示すように、鉄共振現象が、a:基本波過電圧モード(Fundamental mode)、b:分数調波モード(Subharmonic mode)、c:準周期モード(Quasi-periodic mode)、d:カオテックモード(Chaotic mode)の4つのパターンに分類されることが開示されている。基本波過電圧モードは、基本波の振幅が大きくなり、3次、5次等の高調波が重畳した振動モードである。分数調波モードは、基本波に大きな分数調波(1/n調波)の振動が加わった振動モードである。1/n調波は、nを正の整数として、周波数が基本波の周波数の1/n倍(周期が基本波の周期のn倍)である波を意味する。準周期モードは、2つの周波数の各々の整数倍の周波数間の差分周波数をもつ振動モードである。カオテックモードは、周期の特定が困難であり、カオス的な挙動をする振動モードである。 In Non-Patent Document 1 below, as shown in FIG. 4, the iron resonance phenomenon has a: fundamental overvoltage mode, b: subharmonic mode, and c: quasi-periodic mode. It is disclosed that it is classified into four patterns of periodic mode) and d: Chaotech mode (Chaotic mode). The fundamental wave overvoltage mode is a vibration mode in which the amplitude of the fundamental wave becomes large and harmonics such as third and fifth orders are superimposed. The fractional tuning mode is a vibration mode in which a large fractional tuning (1 / n tuning) vibration is added to the fundamental wave. The 1 / n tuning means a wave whose frequency is 1 / n times the frequency of the fundamental wave (the period is n times the period of the fundamental wave), where n is a positive integer. The quasi-periodic mode is a vibration mode having a difference frequency between frequencies that are integral multiples of each of the two frequencies. The chaotic mode is a vibration mode in which it is difficult to specify the period and the behavior is chaotic.
 鉄共振現象の対策として、例えば下記非特許文献2には、可飽和リアクトルを用いた回路構成が開示されている。具体的には、図5を参照して、直列接続の可飽和リアクトル902及び低抵抗値の抵抗904を、電圧変成器等のトランス900の2次側巻線に並列に接続する。鉄共振現象が発生すると、発生した電圧により可飽和リアクトル902を飽和させ、発生した電流を抵抗904に流して共振エネルギーを吸収する。これにより、鉄共振現象は抑制される。 As a countermeasure against the iron resonance phenomenon, for example, Non-Patent Document 2 below discloses a circuit configuration using a saturable reactor. Specifically, with reference to FIG. 5, a saturable reactor 902 connected in series and a resistor 904 having a low resistance value are connected in parallel to the secondary winding of a transformer 900 such as a voltage transformer. When the iron resonance phenomenon occurs, the saturable reactor 902 is saturated by the generated voltage, and the generated current is passed through the resistor 904 to absorb the resonance energy. As a result, the iron resonance phenomenon is suppressed.
 また、下記特許文献1には、分数調波モードへの対策が開示されている。即ち、計器用変成器の2次側に、鉄共振特有の1/3調波、1/5調波及び基本波の過電圧を検出する回路を設け、この回路により鉄共振現象を検出して補助リレーを駆動し、低抵抗の負荷により共振エネルギーを吸収する。 Further, Patent Document 1 below discloses measures for the fractional wave adjustment mode. That is, a circuit for detecting the overvoltage of 1/3, 1/5, and fundamental waves peculiar to iron resonance is provided on the secondary side of the instrument transformer, and the iron resonance phenomenon is detected and assisted by this circuit. It drives a relay and absorbs resonance energy with a low resistance load.

 しかし、非特許文献2に開示された対策では、状況によっては可飽和リアクトルが十分に飽和せず、鉄共振現象が継続する可能性がある。鉄共振現象が継続すると、場合によっては機器が焼損する。特許文献1に開示された対策では、半導体ICを用いた複雑な回路を使用しており、その制御電力も外部から供給する必要があり、コストが高く、大型の装置になる。 However, with the measures disclosed in Non-Patent Document 2, the saturable reactor may not be sufficiently saturated depending on the situation, and the iron resonance phenomenon may continue. If the iron resonance phenomenon continues, the equipment may burn out. In the countermeasure disclosed in Patent Document 1, a complicated circuit using a semiconductor IC is used, and its control power also needs to be supplied from the outside, resulting in a high cost and a large-sized device.
 したがって、本発明は、可飽和リアクトルを用いた方式を採用し、鉄共振現象自体を表す鉄心の磁気飽和現象を従来よりも確実に検出でき、鉄共振現象を速やかに且つ効率的に抑制できる鉄共振抑制装置及びそれを備えた電圧変成器を提供することを目的とする。 Therefore, the present invention adopts a method using a saturable reactor, can detect the magnetic saturation phenomenon of the iron core representing the iron resonance phenomenon itself more reliably than before, and can suppress the iron resonance phenomenon quickly and efficiently. It is an object of the present invention to provide a resonance suppression device and a voltage modulator equipped with the resonance suppression device.

There is a saturable reactor in which one terminal is connected to one terminal in the secondary winding, and a first terminal connected between the other terminal in the saturable reactor and the other terminal in the secondary winding. The occurrence of iron core saturation of the transformer is detected from the DC voltage generator that rectifies and smoothes the voltage between both terminals of the resistor and the first resistor and outputs it as a DC voltage, and the DC voltage output from the DC voltage generator. It includes an iron core saturation detecting unit and a short-circuiting portion that short-circuits both terminals of the secondary winding via a second resistor in response to the detection of the occurrence of iron core saturation by the iron core saturation detecting unit.
 これにより、トランスを有する電圧変成器等において発生する鉄共振現象自体を表す鉄心の磁気飽和現象を従来よりも確実に検出でき、鉄共振現象を速やかに且つ効率的に抑制できる。 As a result, the magnetic saturation phenomenon of the iron core, which represents the iron resonance phenomenon itself generated in a voltage transformer or the like having a transformer, can be detected more reliably than before, and the iron resonance phenomenon can be suppressed quickly and efficiently.
 好ましくは、可飽和リアクトルのインピーダンスは、トランスの鉄心飽和が発生したときに、第1の抵抗のインピーダンスよりも小さくなるように設計する。これにより、速やかに鉄共振現象を抑制できる。 Preferably, the impedance of the saturable reactor is designed to be smaller than the impedance of the first resistor when the iron core of the transformer is saturated. As a result, the iron resonance phenomenon can be quickly suppressed.
 より好ましくは、可飽和リアクトルのインピーダンスは、トランスの鉄心飽和の発生が近づいたときに、第1の抵抗のインピーダンスよりも小さくなるように設計する。これにより、鉄共振現象が発生する前の段階、即ち鉄共振現象の兆候が発生した段階において、第2の抵抗によりそのエネルギーを消費させることができ、鉄共振現象の発生を抑制できる。 More preferably, the impedance of the saturable reactor is designed to be smaller than the impedance of the first resistor when the transformer core saturation approaches. As a result, the energy can be consumed by the second resistance at the stage before the iron resonance phenomenon occurs, that is, at the stage when the sign of the iron resonance phenomenon occurs, and the occurrence of the iron resonance phenomenon can be suppressed.
 さらに好ましくは、短絡部は、リレーであり、リレーの接点及び第2の抵抗は、直列接続され、2次巻線の両端子の間に接続され、鉄心飽和検出部は、リレーの接点を制御するコイルに直列接続されたスイッチング素子と、スイッチング素子を制御する定電圧素子とを含み、直列接続されたコイル及びスイッチング素子の両端子には、直流電圧生成部から出力された直流電圧が印加され、定電圧素子は、鉄心飽和の発生を検出したことを受けて、スイッチング素子をオンさせ、スイッチング素子がオンすることにより、コイルに電流が流れ、接点がオンする。これにより、リレーを駆動させるための電源を別途に設けることなく、リレーをオンさせて第2の抵抗により共振エネルギーを消費させ、鉄共振現象を抑制できる。したがって、小型の鉄共振抑制装置を実現できる。 More preferably, the short circuit is a relay, the contacts of the relay and the second resistor are connected in series and connected between both terminals of the secondary winding, and the core saturation detector controls the contacts of the relay. A DC voltage output from the DC voltage generator is applied to both terminals of the coil and the switching element connected in series, including a switching element connected in series to the coil to be connected and a constant voltage element to control the switching element. In response to the detection of the occurrence of iron core saturation, the constant voltage element turns on the switching element, and when the switching element is turned on, a current flows through the coil and the contacts are turned on. As a result, the iron resonance phenomenon can be suppressed by turning on the relay and consuming the resonance energy by the second resistor without separately providing a power source for driving the relay. Therefore, a small iron resonance suppression device can be realized.
 本発明の第2の局面に係る電圧変成器は、鉄心及び当該鉄心に巻回された1次巻線及び2次巻線を有するトランスと、上記の鉄共振抑制装置とを含み、鉄共振抑制装置は、トランスにおける鉄共振現象を抑制する。これにより、電圧変成器において発生する鉄共振現象自体を表す鉄心の磁気飽和現象を従来よりも確実に検出でき、鉄共振現象を速やかに且つ効率的に抑制できる。 The voltage transformer according to the second aspect of the present invention includes an iron core, a transformer having a primary winding and a secondary winding wound around the iron core, and the above-mentioned iron resonance suppression device, and suppresses iron resonance. The device suppresses the iron resonance phenomenon in the transformer. As a result, the magnetic saturation phenomenon of the iron core, which represents the iron resonance phenomenon itself generated in the voltage transformer, can be detected more reliably than before, and the iron resonance phenomenon can be suppressed quickly and efficiently.
 本発明によれば、電圧変成器等において発生する鉄共振現象自体を表す鉄心の磁気飽和現象を従来よりも確実に検出でき、鉄共振現象を速やかに且つ効率的に抑制できる。即ち、可飽和リアクトルをセンサとして使用することにより、可飽和リアクトルが不十分な飽和状態であっても、鉄共振現象を検出可能であり、鉄共振現象を速やかに抑制できる。 According to the present invention, the magnetic saturation phenomenon of the iron core, which represents the iron resonance phenomenon itself generated in the voltage transformer or the like, can be detected more reliably than before, and the iron resonance phenomenon can be suppressed quickly and efficiently. That is, by using the saturable reactor as a sensor, the iron resonance phenomenon can be detected even in a saturated state in which the saturable reactor is insufficient, and the iron resonance phenomenon can be quickly suppressed.
 また、鉄共振抑制装置は大電流が流れる回路ではなく、比較的小規模の回路として実現できる。したがって、既存の電圧変成器等に鉄共振抑制装置を内蔵させることも可能である。 Also, the iron resonance suppression device can be realized as a relatively small-scale circuit, not as a circuit through which a large current flows. Therefore, it is possible to incorporate an iron resonance suppression device into an existing voltage transformer or the like.

 以下の実施形態では、同一の部品には同一の参照番号を付してある。それらの名称及び機能も同一である。したがって、それらについての詳細な説明は繰返さない。 In the following embodiments, the same parts are given the same reference number. Their names and functions are also the same. Therefore, detailed explanations about them will not be repeated.
 図1を参照して、本発明の実施形態に係る電圧変成器は、トランス200と鉄共振抑制部100とを備えている。トランス200は電圧変成器の本体を構成するトランスであり、2次巻線から出力信号OUTを出力する。 With reference to FIG. 1, the voltage transformer according to the embodiment of the present invention includes a transformer 200 and an iron resonance suppression unit 100. The transformer 200 is a transformer that constitutes the main body of the voltage transformer, and outputs an output signal OUT from the secondary winding.
 鉄共振抑制部100は、可飽和リアクトル102、整流平滑部104、アクティブ素子106、レベル検出部108、リレー部110、並びに、抵抗R1及びR2を含む。可飽和リアクトル102及び抵抗R1は直列接続されている。直列接続された可飽和リアクトル102及び抵抗R1は、トランス200の2次巻線に並列接続されている。これにより、2次巻線に発生する交流電圧は、可飽和リアクトル102及び抵抗R1により分担される。 The iron resonance suppression unit 100 includes a saturable reactor 102, a rectifying smoothing unit 104, an active element 106, a level detection unit 108, a relay unit 110, and resistors R1 and R2. The saturable reactor 102 and the resistor R1 are connected in series. The saturable reactor 102 and the resistor R1 connected in series are connected in parallel to the secondary winding of the transformer 200. As a result, the AC voltage generated in the secondary winding is shared by the saturable reactor 102 and the resistor R1.
 可飽和リアクトル102は、例えば、急峻な磁気飽和特性を有する鉄心を備えており、上述したようにトランスの飽和特性を模擬して設計されている。即ち、トランスが飽和していない通常状態においては、同じように飽和せず大きいインピーダンスを有している。一方、トランスが飽和すると、又は、飽和に近づくと、可飽和リアクトル102が飽和し、インピーダンスは急激に減少する。可飽和リアクトル102は、飽和すると、そのインピーダンスが、抵抗R1のインピーダンスよりも十分に小さくなることが好ましい。なお、可飽和リアクトルの設計には、トランスの飽和特性に基づいてその2次電圧波形から飽和磁束密度を設計する手法が用いられる。 The saturable reactor 102 has, for example, an iron core having a steep magnetic saturation characteristic, and is designed by simulating the saturation characteristic of a transformer as described above. That is, in the normal state where the transformer is not saturated, it is not saturated and has a large impedance. On the other hand, when the transformer is saturated or approaches saturation, the saturable reactor 102 is saturated and the impedance decreases sharply. When the saturable reactor 102 is saturated, its impedance is preferably sufficiently smaller than the impedance of the resistor R1. For the design of the saturable reactor, a method of designing the saturation magnetic flux density from the secondary voltage waveform based on the saturation characteristics of the transformer is used.
 抵抗R1の両端子は、整流平滑部104の入力端子に接続されている。即ち、整流平滑部104の2つの入力端子の内、第1入力端子in1は抵抗R1の一方の端子に接続され、第2入力端子in2は抵抗R1の他方の端子に接続されている。ここでは、抵抗R1の一方の端子の電位をV1、他方の端子の電位をV2とする。整流平滑部104は、入力される抵抗R1の両端子間の交流電圧(V1-V2)を整流及び平滑し、2つの出力端子(第1出力端子out1及び第2出力端子out2)の間に直流電圧(V3-V4)を発生させる。ここでは、第1出力端子out1の電位をV3とし、第2出力端子out2の電位をV4としている。第2出力端子out2の電位V4は、整流平滑部104から出力する直流電圧の基準電位である。 Both terminals of the resistor R1 are connected to the input terminals of the rectifying smoothing unit 104. That is, of the two input terminals of the rectifying smoothing unit 104, the first input terminal in1 is connected to one terminal of the resistor R1, and the second input terminal in2 is connected to the other terminal of the resistor R1. Here, the potential of one terminal of the resistor R1 is V1, and the potential of the other terminal is V2. The rectifying and smoothing unit 104 rectifies and smoothes the AC voltage (V1-V2) between both terminals of the input resistor R1, and direct current is applied between the two output terminals (first output terminal out1 and second output terminal out2). Generate a voltage (V3-V4). Here, the potential of the first output terminal out1 is V3, and the potential of the second output terminal out2 is V4. The potential V4 of the second output terminal out2 is a reference potential of the DC voltage output from the rectifying smoothing unit 104.
 整流平滑部104は、公知の整流回路及び平滑回路により構成できる。整流回路には、全波整流回路(例えば、4つのダイオードによるブリッジ回路)を使用することが好ましいが、半波整流回路であってもよい。平滑回路は、例えば、整流回路の出力端子間にコンデンサ(平滑コンデンサ)を設けることにより実現できる。平滑コンデンサは、整流回路により整流された電圧(脈流)を平滑し、一定の直流電圧を生成するためのものである。 The rectifying and smoothing unit 104 can be configured by a known rectifying circuit and smoothing circuit. A full-wave rectifier circuit (for example, a bridge circuit with four diodes) is preferably used as the rectifier circuit, but a half-wave rectifier circuit may be used. The smoothing circuit can be realized, for example, by providing a capacitor (smoothing capacitor) between the output terminals of the rectifier circuit. The smoothing capacitor is for smoothing the voltage (pulsating current) rectified by the rectifier circuit and generating a constant DC voltage.
 アクティブ素子106は、整流平滑部104の第1出力端子out1と、リレー部110との間に接続されている。アクティブ素子106は、ゲートに入力される信号により制御されて、整流平滑部104の第1出力端子out1とリレー部110とを短絡又は開放させるスイッチング素子としての機能を有する。アクティブ素子106のゲートには、レベル検出部108が接続されている。 The active element 106 is connected between the first output terminal out1 of the rectifying smoothing unit 104 and the relay unit 110. The active element 106 has a function as a switching element that is controlled by a signal input to the gate to short-circuit or open the first output terminal out1 of the rectifying smoothing unit 104 and the relay unit 110. A level detection unit 108 is connected to the gate of the active element 106.
 レベル検出部108は両端子間の電圧が一定値を超えると、その両端子間の電圧を一定値に維持する機能を有する。即ち、レベル検出部108は、整流平滑部104の第1出力端子out1の電位V3が所定値以上になると、整流平滑部104の第1出力端子out1の電位と、アクティブ素子106のゲートに接続されている端子の電位V5との差(電圧)を一定値に維持する。この一定値を、アクティブ素子106がオンするゲート電圧以上の値に設定しておけば、アクティブ素子106はオンする。 The level detection unit 108 has a function of maintaining the voltage between both terminals at a constant value when the voltage between both terminals exceeds a certain value. That is, when the potential V3 of the first output terminal out1 of the rectifying / smoothing unit 104 becomes equal to or higher than a predetermined value, the level detecting unit 108 is connected to the potential of the first output terminal out1 of the rectifying / smoothing unit 104 and the gate of the active element 106. The difference (voltage) from the potential V5 of the terminal is maintained at a constant value. If this constant value is set to a value equal to or higher than the gate voltage at which the active element 106 is turned on, the active element 106 is turned on.
 リレー部110は、例えば公知のリレーであり、内部接点をオンさせるためのコイルはアクティブ素子106及び整流平滑部104の第2出力端子out2の間に接続されている。内部接点の一方の端子は抵抗R2に接続され、他方の端子は接地されている。抵抗R2のリレー部110に接続されていない端子は、トランス200の出力ラインに接続されている。抵抗R2は、抵抗値が小さい抵抗であり、鉄共振現象による共振エネルギーを吸収するためのものである。 The relay unit 110 is, for example, a known relay, and a coil for turning on the internal contact is connected between the active element 106 and the second output terminal out2 of the rectifying smoothing unit 104. One terminal of the internal contact is connected to the resistor R2 and the other terminal is grounded. The terminal not connected to the relay portion 110 of the resistor R2 is connected to the output line of the transformer 200. The resistor R2 is a resistor having a small resistance value, and is for absorbing resonance energy due to the iron resonance phenomenon.
 鉄共振現象は変成器のトランスの鉄心が飽和することにより発生する。このように構成された鉄共振抑制部100は、この現象が2次電圧に現れる波形を使って、対策を講じるものである。鉄共振抑制部100は、次のように動作する。 The iron resonance phenomenon occurs when the iron core of the transformer of the transformer is saturated. The iron resonance suppression unit 100 configured in this way takes measures by using a waveform in which this phenomenon appears in the secondary voltage. The iron resonance suppression unit 100 operates as follows.
 鉄共振現象が発生していない通常状態においては、可飽和リアクトル102は飽和しておらず、大きいインピーダンスを有しており、トランス200の2次巻線に発生する電圧は、殆ど可飽和リアクトル102により分担されており、抵抗R1の両端子間の電圧は小さい値である。したがって、整流平滑部104の入力電圧(交流)は小さく、整流平滑部104から出力される直流電圧(V3-V4)は小さく、レベル検出部108の両端子間の電圧は小さく、アクティブ素子106はオフのままである。そのため、リレー部110内部のコイルには電流が流れず、内部接点はオフのままであり、抵抗R2には電流は流れない。 In the normal state where the iron resonance phenomenon does not occur, the saturable reactor 102 is not saturated and has a large impedance, and the voltage generated in the secondary winding of the transformer 200 is almost the saturable reactor 102. The voltage between both terminals of the resistor R1 is a small value. Therefore, the input voltage (alternating current) of the rectifying and smoothing unit 104 is small, the DC voltage (V3-V4) output from the rectifying and smoothing unit 104 is small, the voltage between both terminals of the level detecting unit 108 is small, and the active element 106 is It remains off. Therefore, no current flows through the coil inside the relay unit 110, the internal contacts remain off, and no current flows through the resistor R2.
 鉄共振現象が発生し、トランス200の1次巻線に流れる過大な飽和時の励磁電流により鉄心が飽和すると、その2次電圧には特有の波形(分数調波の発生等)が現れる。この波形を受けて可飽和リアクトル102は飽和領域に達して、このときそのインピーダンスは急激に減少する(抵抗R1のインピーダンスよりも十分に小さくなる)。それにより、トランス200の2次巻線に発生する電圧は、殆ど抵抗R1により分担され、抵抗R1の両端子間の電圧は急激に増大する。この現象は交流信号であるため、非飽和-飽和状態を繰返す。したがって、飽和状態になったときに整流平滑部104の入力電圧(交流)は増大し、整流平滑部104から出力される直流電圧(V3-V4)も大きくなる。レベル検出部108の両端子間の電圧は一定値(アクティブ素子106をオンさせる電圧も大)になり、アクティブ素子106はオンし、整流平滑部104の第1出力端子out1及び第2出力端子out2は、リレー部110のコイルに接続され、コイルに電流が流れる。これにより、リレー部110の内部接点がオンして、抵抗R2が接地され、鉄共振現象によりトランス200の2次巻線に発生した電圧は抵抗R2に接続(印加)され、電流が流れる。したがって、鉄共振エネルギーが消費され、現象を抑制できる。 When an iron resonance phenomenon occurs and the iron core is saturated due to an excessively saturated exciting current flowing through the primary winding of the transformer 200, a peculiar waveform (generation of fractional tuning, etc.) appears in the secondary voltage. In response to this waveform, the saturable reactor 102 reaches the saturation region, at which time its impedance sharply decreases (sufficiently smaller than the impedance of the resistor R1). As a result, the voltage generated in the secondary winding of the transformer 200 is almost shared by the resistor R1, and the voltage between both terminals of the resistor R1 rapidly increases. Since this phenomenon is an AC signal, the unsaturated-saturated state is repeated. Therefore, when the saturated state is reached, the input voltage (alternating current) of the rectifying and smoothing unit 104 increases, and the DC voltage (V3-V4) output from the rectifying and smoothing unit 104 also increases. The voltage between both terminals of the level detection unit 108 becomes a constant value (the voltage that turns on the active element 106 is also large), the active element 106 is turned on, and the first output terminal out1 and the second output terminal out2 of the rectifying smoothing unit 104 are turned on. Is connected to the coil of the relay unit 110, and a current flows through the coil. As a result, the internal contact of the relay unit 110 is turned on, the resistor R2 is grounded, the voltage generated in the secondary winding of the transformer 200 due to the iron resonance phenomenon is connected (applied) to the resistor R2, and a current flows. Therefore, iron resonance energy is consumed and the phenomenon can be suppressed.
 鉄共振現象が抑制されると、トランス200の1次巻線に流れる電流は通常レベルに戻り、鉄共振抑制部100は通常状態に戻る。即ち、可飽和リアクトル102は飽和しなくなり、そのインピーダンスは大きくなり、トランス200の2次巻線に発生する電圧は、殆ど可飽和リアクトル102により分担され、抵抗R1の両端子間の電圧は小さくなる。即ち、整流平滑部104の入力電圧(交流)は小さくなり、整流平滑部104から出力される直流電圧(V3-V4)、及びレベル検出部108の両端子間の電圧は小さくなり、アクティブ素子106はオフする。そのため、リレー部110の内部接点はオフし、抵抗R2には電流は流れなくなる。 When the iron resonance phenomenon is suppressed, the current flowing through the primary winding of the transformer 200 returns to the normal level, and the iron resonance suppression unit 100 returns to the normal state. That is, the saturable reactor 102 is no longer saturated, its impedance becomes large, the voltage generated in the secondary winding of the transformer 200 is almost shared by the saturable reactor 102, and the voltage between both terminals of the resistor R1 becomes small. .. That is, the input voltage (alternating current) of the rectifying and smoothing unit 104 becomes small, the DC voltage (V3-V4) output from the rectifying and smoothing unit 104, and the voltage between both terminals of the level detecting unit 108 become small, and the active element 106 Turns off. Therefore, the internal contact of the relay unit 110 is turned off, and no current flows through the resistor R2.
 このように、可飽和リアクトル102を、鉄共振現象自体の本質を表すトランスの鉄心の磁気飽和現象を検出するためのセンサとして使用することにより、鉄共振現象を抑制できる。鉄共振抑制部100は大電流が流れる回路ではなく、比較的小規模の回路として実現できる。また、整流平滑部104、アクティブ素子106及びレベル検出部108を、鉄共振現象の発生時にリレー部110を駆動させるための制御電源として使用しているので、リレー部110を駆動するための電源を別途に設けることも、リレー部110を駆動する電圧を外部電源から供給することも不要である。したがって、鉄共振抑制部100を安価且つコンパクトに製造でき、既存の電圧変成器に鉄共振抑制部100を内蔵させることも可能である。 In this way, the iron resonance phenomenon can be suppressed by using the saturable reactor 102 as a sensor for detecting the magnetic saturation phenomenon of the iron core of the transformer, which represents the essence of the iron resonance phenomenon itself. The iron resonance suppression unit 100 can be realized as a relatively small-scale circuit, not as a circuit through which a large current flows. Further, since the rectifying smoothing unit 104, the active element 106, and the level detecting unit 108 are used as a control power source for driving the relay unit 110 when the iron resonance phenomenon occurs, the power source for driving the relay unit 110 is used. It is not necessary to separately provide it or to supply the voltage for driving the relay unit 110 from an external power source. Therefore, the iron resonance suppression unit 100 can be manufactured inexpensively and compactly, and the iron resonance suppression unit 100 can be incorporated in an existing voltage transformer.
 (変形例)
 上記の実施形態では、アクティブ素子106が、整流平滑部104の第1出力端子out1とリレー部110との間に接続されている場合を説明したが、これに限定されない。アクティブ素子106は、整流平滑部104の第2出力端子out2とリレー部110との間に接続されてもよい。
(Modification example)
In the above embodiment, the case where the active element 106 is connected between the first output terminal out1 of the rectifying smoothing unit 104 and the relay unit 110 has been described, but the present invention is not limited to this. The active element 106 may be connected between the second output terminal out2 of the rectifying smoothing unit 104 and the relay unit 110.
 図2を参照して、本変形例に係る電圧変成器は、トランス200と鉄共振抑制部130とを備えている。トランス200は電圧変成器の本体を構成するトランスであり、2次巻線から出力信号OUTを出力する。 With reference to FIG. 2, the voltage transformer according to this modification includes a transformer 200 and an iron resonance suppression unit 130. The transformer 200 is a transformer that constitutes the main body of the voltage transformer, and outputs an output signal OUT from the secondary winding.
 鉄共振抑制部130は、図1に示した鉄共振抑制部100と同じ構成要素を含む。即ち、鉄共振抑制部130は、可飽和リアクトル102、整流平滑部104、アクティブ素子106、レベル検出部108、リレー部110、並びに、抵抗R1及びR2を含む。鉄共振抑制部130が鉄共振抑制部100と異なるのは、アクティブ素子106とその周辺要素との接続関係だけであり、各要素の機能は鉄共振抑制部100と同じである。したがって、以下においては、重複説明を繰返さず、主として鉄共振抑制部100と異なる点に関して説明する。 The iron resonance suppression unit 130 includes the same components as the iron resonance suppression unit 100 shown in FIG. That is, the iron resonance suppression unit 130 includes a saturable reactor 102, a rectifying smoothing unit 104, an active element 106, a level detection unit 108, a relay unit 110, and resistors R1 and R2. The iron resonance suppression unit 130 differs from the iron resonance suppression unit 100 only in the connection relationship between the active element 106 and its peripheral elements, and the function of each element is the same as that of the iron resonance suppression unit 100. Therefore, in the following, the duplicate description will not be repeated, and the points different from the iron resonance suppression unit 100 will be mainly described.
 アクティブ素子106は、整流平滑部104の第2出力端子out2と、リレー部110(具体的には、内部コイルの一端)との間に接続されている。アクティブ素子106は、ゲートに入力される信号により制御されて、整流平滑部104の第2出力端子out2とリレー部110とを短絡又は開放させる。整流平滑部104の第1出力端子out1は、リレー部110(内部コイルの他端)に直接接続されている。 The active element 106 is connected between the second output terminal out2 of the rectifying smoothing unit 104 and the relay unit 110 (specifically, one end of the internal coil). The active element 106 is controlled by a signal input to the gate to short-circuit or open the second output terminal out2 of the rectifying smoothing unit 104 and the relay unit 110. The first output terminal out1 of the rectifying and smoothing unit 104 is directly connected to the relay unit 110 (the other end of the internal coil).
 このように構成された鉄共振抑制部130は、図1の鉄共振抑制部100と同様に動作する。即ち、鉄共振現象が発生していない通常状態においては、可飽和リアクトル102は飽和しておらず、大きいインピーダンスを有しており、トランス200の2次巻線に発生する電圧は、殆ど可飽和リアクトル102により分担されており、抵抗R1の両端子間の電圧は小さい値である。したがって、整流平滑部104の入力電圧(交流)は小さく、整流平滑部104から出力される直流電圧(V3-V4)及びレベル検出部108の両端子間の電圧は小さく、アクティブ素子106及びリレー部110の内部接点はオフのままであり、抵抗R2には電流は流れない。 The iron resonance suppression unit 130 configured in this way operates in the same manner as the iron resonance suppression unit 100 of FIG. That is, in the normal state where the iron resonance phenomenon does not occur, the saturable reactor 102 is not saturated and has a large impedance, and the voltage generated in the secondary winding of the transformer 200 is almost saturable. It is shared by the reactor 102, and the voltage between both terminals of the resistor R1 is a small value. Therefore, the input voltage (alternating current) of the rectifying and smoothing unit 104 is small, the DC voltage (V3-V4) output from the rectifying and smoothing unit 104 and the voltage between both terminals of the level detection unit 108 are small, and the active element 106 and the relay unit The internal contacts of 110 remain off and no current flows through resistor R2.
 鉄共振現象が発生すると、可飽和リアクトル102は飽和して、そのインピーダンスは急激に減少する。それにより、トランス200の2次巻線に発生する電圧は、殆ど抵抗R1により分担され、抵抗R1の両端子間の電圧は急激に増大する。したがって、整流平滑部104の入力電圧(交流)が増大し、整流平滑部104から出力される直流電圧(V3-V4)、及びレベル検出部108の両端子間の電圧は増大し、アクティブ素子106はオンし、整流平滑部104の第1出力端子out1及び第2出力端子out2は、リレー部110のコイルに接続され、コイルに電流が流れる。これにより、リレー部110の内部接点がオンして、抵抗R2が接地され、鉄共振現象によりトランス200の2次巻線に発生した電圧は抵抗R2に接続され、電流が流れる。したがって、鉄共振エネルギーが消費され、現象を抑制できる。 When the iron resonance phenomenon occurs, the saturable reactor 102 is saturated and its impedance sharply decreases. As a result, the voltage generated in the secondary winding of the transformer 200 is almost shared by the resistor R1, and the voltage between both terminals of the resistor R1 rapidly increases. Therefore, the input voltage (alternating current) of the rectifying and smoothing unit 104 increases, the DC voltage (V3-V4) output from the rectifying and smoothing unit 104, and the voltage between both terminals of the level detection unit 108 increase, and the active element 106 Is turned on, and the first output terminal out1 and the second output terminal out2 of the rectifying smoothing unit 104 are connected to the coil of the relay unit 110, and a current flows through the coil. As a result, the internal contact of the relay unit 110 is turned on, the resistor R2 is grounded, the voltage generated in the secondary winding of the transformer 200 due to the iron resonance phenomenon is connected to the resistor R2, and a current flows. Therefore, iron resonance energy is consumed and the phenomenon can be suppressed.
 鉄共振現象が抑制されると、トランス200の1次巻線に流れる電流は通常レベルに戻り、鉄共振抑制部130は通常状態に戻る。 When the iron resonance phenomenon is suppressed, the current flowing through the primary winding of the transformer 200 returns to the normal level, and the iron resonance suppression unit 130 returns to the normal state.
 このように、鉄共振抑制部130においても、上記したように、可飽和リアクトル102を、鉄心の磁気飽和現象を検出するためのセンサとして使用することにより、可飽和リアクトル102が不十分な飽和状態であっても、鉄共振現象を抑制できる。また、リレー部110を駆動するための電源を別途に設けることも、リレー部110を駆動する電圧を外部電源から供給することも不要であり、鉄共振抑制部130を安価且つコンパクトに形成でき、既存の電圧変成器に鉄共振抑制部130を内蔵させることも可能である。 As described above, in the iron resonance suppression unit 130 as well, as described above, by using the saturable reactor 102 as a sensor for detecting the magnetic saturation phenomenon of the iron core, the saturable reactor 102 is in an insufficient saturated state. Even so, the iron resonance phenomenon can be suppressed. Further, it is not necessary to separately provide a power source for driving the relay unit 110 or to supply a voltage for driving the relay unit 110 from an external power source, and the iron resonance suppression unit 130 can be formed inexpensively and compactly. It is also possible to incorporate the iron resonance suppression unit 130 into an existing voltage transformer.
 (実施例)
 より具体的な回路構成を実施例として示す。図2に対応する実施例を図3に示す。図3を参照して、整流平滑部104は全波整流回路114及びコンデンサC1により構成されている。アクティブ素子106及びレベル検出部108はそれぞれ、トランジスタ116及びツェナーダイオード118により構成されている。
(Example)
A more specific circuit configuration is shown as an example. An embodiment corresponding to FIG. 2 is shown in FIG. With reference to FIG. 3, the rectifying smoothing section 104 is composed of a full-wave rectifying circuit 114 and a capacitor C1. The active element 106 and the level detection unit 108 are composed of a transistor 116 and a Zener diode 118, respectively.
 図3を参照して、全波整流回路114の一方の出力端子(電位V3の端子)は、ツェナーダイオード118及び抵抗R5を介してトランジスタ116のベース端子に接続されている。抵抗R5は、トランジスタ116のベース電流を制限するための抵抗である。 With reference to FIG. 3, one output terminal (terminal of potential V3) of the full-wave rectifier circuit 114 is connected to the base terminal of the transistor 116 via a Zener diode 118 and a resistor R5. The resistor R5 is a resistor for limiting the base current of the transistor 116.
 全波整流回路114の一方の出力端子(電位V3の端子)は、抵抗R6を介してリレー部110(内部のコイル)にも接続されている。抵抗R6は、トランジスタ116がオンしたときにリレー部110内部のコイル及びトランジスタ116に流れる電流を調整するためのものである。 One output terminal (terminal of potential V3) of the full-wave rectifier circuit 114 is also connected to the relay unit 110 (internal coil) via a resistor R6. The resistor R6 is for adjusting the current flowing through the coil inside the relay unit 110 and the transistor 116 when the transistor 116 is turned on.
 図3のように構成された鉄共振抑制部は、鉄共振現象を抑制できる。鉄共振現象が発生して、抵抗R1の両端子間の電圧、即ち全波整流回路114の入力電圧(交流)が急激に増大すると、全波整流回路114から出力される電圧(V3-V4)は増大する。抵抗R5の一方の端子が接続されているツェナーダイオード118のカソードの電位は、全波整流回路114から出力される電圧がコンデンサC1により平滑されて生成された直流電圧になり、トランジスタ116のゲートには、抵抗R5を介してトランジスタ116をオンさせるベース電流が流れる。トランジスタ116がオンすることにより、全波整流回路114の2つの出力端子からリレー部110のコイルに電圧が印加され、コイルに電流が流れ、リレー部110の内部接点がオンして抵抗R2が接地され、鉄共振現象によりトランス200の2次巻線に発生した電圧は抵抗R2に接続され、電流が流れる。これにより、鉄共振エネルギーが消費され、現象を抑制できる。 The iron resonance suppression unit configured as shown in FIG. 3 can suppress the iron resonance phenomenon. When an iron resonance phenomenon occurs and the voltage between both terminals of the resistor R1, that is, the input voltage (alternating current) of the full-wave rectifier circuit 114 suddenly increases, the voltage (V3-V4) output from the full-wave rectifier circuit 114. Will increase. The potential of the cathode of the Zener diode 118 to which one terminal of the resistor R5 is connected becomes the DC voltage generated by smoothing the voltage output from the full-wave rectifier circuit 114 by the capacitor C1 and becomes the gate of the transistor 116. A base current that turns on the transistor 116 flows through the resistor R5. When the transistor 116 is turned on, a voltage is applied to the coil of the relay unit 110 from the two output terminals of the full-wave rectifying circuit 114, a current flows through the coil, the internal contact of the relay unit 110 is turned on, and the resistor R2 is grounded. The voltage generated in the secondary winding of the transformer 200 due to the iron resonance phenomenon is connected to the resistor R2, and a current flows. As a result, iron resonance energy is consumed and the phenomenon can be suppressed.
