Definitions

• the present invention relates to an arrangement of a T-shaped connector with an electrical measuring device.
• Measuring devices such as electrical voltage sensors are used in electrical medium and high voltage transmission networks in order to be able to measure and control critical parameters.
• So-called T-connectors which are arranged, for example, in switch or distribution boxes, are usually used to integrate the measuring devices into the line network.
• T-connectors include a line input, a line output, and a test socket.
• An electrical voltage sensor can be placed in a receiving area of the test socket and can be connected to the electrical line running from the line input to the line output.
• the measuring sockets of different T-connectors have different geometries, so that the geometry of the measuring device has to be adapted in order to allow the measuring device to be inserted precisely into the respective measuring socket.
• measuring sockets are usually conical, the receiving areas have different lengths in particular.
• gaps or air-filled areas can develop that promote voltage flashover and stray capacitance, resulting in inaccurate measurements. It has been recognized that such air-filled areas and gaps between the test socket and the measuring device lead to problems, particularly in the case of measuring devices that include a capacitive electrode arrangement.
• the invention relates to an arrangement of a T-shaped connecting piece comprising a line inlet, a line outlet and a measuring socket, with a measuring device, in particular an electrical voltage sensor, being arranged in the measuring socket, with the measuring device having a coupling element for connecting the measuring device to the measuring socket, and a Capacitor arrangement with two opposing electrodes, wherein the first electrode is arranged on the coupling element and wherein the second electrode is arranged on a grounding element, wherein the test socket has a receiving area with a receiving area depth, and wherein the measuring device has an insertion area with an insertion area length, wherein the Acquisition zone depth is less than or equal to the insertion zone length.
• the second electrode extends into the receiving area of the test socket.
• the inventors have surprisingly found that in this way stray capacitances can be avoided in particular in cases in which a gap is formed between the measuring socket and the measuring device.
• This gap can be formed in particular by the fact that the receiving area of the measuring socket is too short and the corresponding insertion area of the measuring device cannot be fully inserted into the receiving area as a result.
• the outer surfaces of the receiving area and the insertion area are designed to be essentially opposite, so that when the measuring device is inserted into the measuring socket, the insertion area comes to rest flush with the receiving area and without the formation of gaps.
• a flush fit of the measuring device on the inner surface of the test socket is important in order to avoid the formation of air-filled spaces or areas on the contact surfaces.
• the inner surface of the missal and/or the outer surface of the measuring device can comprise an elastic material in order to ensure a flush fit and limited flexibility.
• the receiving area and the insertion area are designed in the shape of a truncated cone.
• the insertion area has a length of 5 cm to 20 cm, in particular 10 cm to 15 cm.
• the coupling element is in an electrically conductive connection with a line element of the connecting piece.
• the connection to the line element to be measured is preferably established by the coupling element.
• This connection can be made, for example, by a screw connection or by a plug-in connection.
• the coupling element is screwed to the connection piece, in particular to the line element.
• the first electrode and the second electrode are electrically conductively connected to one another via a resistive element, in particular a resistance element.
• a resistive element in particular a resistance element.
• Such an arrangement in combination with a capacitive electrode arrangement is provided in particular for ohmic-capacitive voltage dividers that are used to measure the voltage of current-carrying lines.
• the electrodes comprise rod-shaped or finger-shaped control elements.
• each electrode comprises a plurality of control elements arranged essentially in a circle, the control elements of the electrodes being arranged concentrically to one another, extending in opposite directions and at least partially overlapping, namely preferably in a part of the insertion area which extends beyond the receiving area extends.
• the second electrode extends at least 0.5 cm, in particular at least 1.0 cm, into the receiving area.
• the connecting piece comprises an electrically insulating housing, with the receiving area forming part of the housing.
• the invention also relates to a measuring device for use in an arrangement according to the invention.
• the second electrode of the measuring device preferably extends into the insertion area of the measuring device. More preferably, the second electrode extends at least 1 cm into the insertion area.
• FIG. 1 shows a schematic sectional view of an arrangement according to the invention in accordance with an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.
• the arrangement according to the invention comprises a connector 1 and a measuring device 3.
• the connector 1 is designed as a T-shaped connector 1 and it includes a line input 4, a line output 5 and a test socket 2.
• a line element 14 is arranged, which is connected to an electrical power supply system.
• the line element 14 has a screw connection 16 for connection to the measuring device 3.
• the test socket 2 comprises a receiving area 10 in the shape of a truncated cone with a receiving area depth 10 ′, which essentially extends from the opening area 20 of the receiving area 10 to the line element 14 .
• the measuring device 3 is an ohmic-capacitive voltage divider, which is designed to measure the voltage in the line element 14 .
• the measuring device 3 comprises a first electrode 7 and a second electrode 8 .
• a coupling element 6 is arranged on the first electrode 7 and is designed for connection to the line element 14 .
• a grounding element 9 is arranged on the second electrode 8 and is used for connection to a ground (not shown). The measuring signal is tapped on the side of the grounding element 9.
• the two electrodes 7, 8 include finger-shaped modulation elements 13, the modulation elements 13 of each electrode 7, 8 being arranged in a ring.
• the control elements 13 of the electrodes 7, 8 have an overlapping area 17 along their length.
• the electrodes 7, 8 are connected to one another in an electrically conductive manner by a high-impedance resistance element 12.
• the insertion area 11 of the measuring device 3 has a frustoconical lateral surface whose geometry is adapted to the shape of the receiving area 10 .
• the slopes of the contact surfaces of the receiving area 10 and the insertion area 11 are adapted to one another in order to ensure flush contact and to avoid the formation of cavities.
• the insertion area 11 has an insertion area length 11 ′, which essentially extends from the coupling element 6 to a stop in the form of a peripheral widening step 18 at the end of the insertion area 11 .
• the insertion area length 11 ′ is greater than the receiving area depth 10 ′, so that a gap 19 is formed between the opening area 20 of the receiving area 10 and the step 18 of the measuring device 3 .
• the insertion area length 11′ of the measuring device 3 is preferably adapted so that it is greater than or equal to the respective receiving area depth 10′ for different versions of the connecting piece 1 in order to be able to use one version of the measuring device 3 on different connecting pieces 1.
• the control elements 13 of the second electrode 8 extend into the receiving area 10 of the measuring socket 2 so that the control elements 13 of the second electrode 8 bridge the gap 19 . This prevents stray capacitances caused by the gap 19 from occurring.
• the second electrode 8, in particular its control elements 13, extends about 2 cm into the insertion area 11 of the measuring device 3. With most connectors available on the market, this makes it possible for the second electrode 8 to extend into the receiving area 10 of the Measuring socket 2 extends.
• the electrodes 7, 8 can also be designed as plate-shaped or ring-shaped electrodes.
