The present invention relates to a stationary induction electrical apparatus including a disc winding such as a transformer and a reactor, and particularly relates to a stationary induction electrical apparatus including a disc winding in which a shield wire for shielding lightning surge is wound.
The disc winding having a high mechanical strength is widely used as a winding for a core-type stationary induction electrical apparatus from the past. The disc winding has a disadvantage that a series capacitance between coils is small and characteristics for an impulse voltage such as a lightning surge are not good as the disc winding is formed by stacking disc coils with a small number of turns and a relatively small facing area. In response to this, a CC shield wire which is electrostatically coupled and adds the series capacitance between coils by the shield wire not allowing a load current to flow in distant coils has been invented, which is used for a high-voltage winding of the transformer and so on.
In the structure of a disc winding using the CC shield wire described in JP-A-2001-196237 (hereinafter referred to as Patent Document 1), the series capacitance between coils is increased and potential distribution characteristics with respect to the impulse voltage such as the lightning surge and so on are improved. However, when the impulse voltage intrudes from a line end, a large voltage is generated between disc coils of even ordinal numbers counted from the line end and it is difficult to achieve insulation in the above structure.
As a common method for preventing dielectric breakdown due to the high voltage generated between the disc winding coils using the shield wire, a method of increasing a thickness of an inter-coil spacer to increase an insulation distance or a method of increasing a thickness of the shield wire to reduce an electric field can be cited. However, a winding space factor in a staking direction of the disc winding is not increased as the inter-coil spacer is increased in the former method. In the latter method, a winding space factor in a circumferential direction of the disc winding is not increased as the thick shield wire is arranged. In order to solve these problems, there is a method described in Patent Document 1, in which a space is provided between the shield wire and an insulating film at an end portion of the shield wire and an insulation material is arranged in the space. There are problems the winding space factor is not increased and manufacturing processes are complicated.
In a stationary induction electrical apparatus including a disc winding in which plural disc coils provided with a plurality of electric wires wound in a helical manner on the same plane in a circumferential direction are stacked in an axial direction of a pressboard insulation cylinder, coils in which an inter-coil spacer is arranged between the disc coils are provided, an inner-peripheral side crossover line connecting between inner-peripheral side wires arranged on both sides of the inter-coil spacer, an outer peripheral side wire connecting to inner-peripheral side crossover line, a shield wire of a certain-ordinal layer in the axial direction and shield wires of the fourth, sixth . . . layers counted from the shield wire among shield wires wound with plural turns between wires of respective disc coils are connected by a crossover line for shielding, and a high voltage and a low voltage are alternately generated between adjacent shield wires arranged in the axial direction, the apparatus includes a flow path for a cooling medium provided between coils where a low voltage is generated between shield wires and an L-shaped insulation barrier provided between coils where a high voltage is generated between the shield wires, in which a horizontal portion of the L-shaped insulation barrier is provided so as to closely contact an upper surface or a lower surface of the disc coil, a tip end portion in an axial direction of the L-shaped insulation barrier is provided so as to closely contact an inner surface of the disc coil which is adjacent to the pressboard insulation cylinder, and a height of the tip end portion in the axial direction is lower than a thickness of one coil.
According to the invention, the dielectric breakdown due to the high voltage generated between disc coils can be prevented by providing a barrier to increase a withstand voltage as compared with a case where the barrier is not provided without increasing a winding space factor of the disc winding and without complicating manufacturing processes.
Hereinafter, a winding configuration diagram according to the invention will be explained based on shown embodiments. The same symbols are used for the same components in respective embodiments.
As shown in the drawing, in a disc winding 100 according to the embodiment, 1 denotes an electric wire in which a load current flows and 2a denotes a shield wire in which the load current does not flow. The winding having a structure in which plural disc coils 3a, 3b, 3c . . . in which the electric wire 1 is wound in a circumferential direction 120 with 6 turns and the shield wire 2a is wound with 3 turns on the outer peripheral side thereof are stacked in an axial direction 110. Here, the electric wire 1 is wound without being connected. A shield wire 2b wound in the disc coil 3b of an even-ordinal layer is connected to a line end. The shield wire 2a is connected to a shield wire 2d of the fourth layer counted from the shield wire 2a by a crossover line 4a for shielding, which is in an electrically floating potential.
In the above structure, the series capacitance between coils is increased and potential distribution characteristics with respect to an impulse voltage such as a lightning surge are improved. However, in such wire connection, a large voltage is generated between the shield wire 2b wound in the disc coil 3b of the even-ordinal number counted from the line end and the shield wire 2c wound in the disc coil 3c and it is difficult to achieve insulation when the impulse voltage intrudes from the line end.
In
In order to prevent dielectric breakdown due to the high voltage 2V, an L-shaped insulation barrier 5a is provided so as to closely contact the entire lower surface of a disc coil of an even-ordinal layer, for example, the disc coil 3b as shown in
Generally, inter-coil spacers 6 are arranged between disc coils at intervals to provide flow paths through which a cooling medium flows between coils. Accordingly, the L-shaped insulation barrier 5a is provided between the disc coil 3b and the inter-coil spacers 6 as shown in
Similarly, the L-shaped insulation barrier 5b is provided between the coil 3c and the inter-coil spacers 6.
As a material for the L-shaped insulation barriers 5a and 5b, a hard and high insulation solid material with high oil resistance is preferable to be used. For example, a press board, resin and so on can be used.
The above disc winding is generally used as a high-voltage (HV) winding for a large transformer. A pressboard insulation cylinder 7 is formed between the HV winding and a low-voltage (LV) winding.
Due to the high voltage between the shield wires 2b and 2c, the streamer which is a precursory phenomenon of dielectric breakdown occurs. The streamer may develop not only in the axial direction 110 but also in a horizontal axis direction along the coil surface toward the pressboard insulation cylinder. The streamer may also develop to the surface of the pressboard insulation cylinder, and dielectric breakdown may occur between the HV winding and the LV winding.
The L-shaped insulation barriers 5a and 5b are provided for preventing the streamer from developing to the surface of the pressboard insulation cylinder. A horizontal portion of the L-shaped insulation barrier 5a is provided between the disc coils 3b and 3c so as to closely contact the lower surface of the disc coil 3b in the same manner as Embodiment 1. A tip end portion 8a in the axial direction 110 of the L-shape insulation barrier 5a is provided so as to closely contact an inner surface of the disc coil 3b which is adjacent to the pressboard insulation cylinder 7. The flow path for the cooling medium is formed between the disc coils 3a and 3b, therefore, a height of the vertical tip end portion 8a is lower than a thickness of one coil so as not to interfere with the flow of the cooling medium.
The L-shaped insulation barrier 5b is provided so as to closely contact the disc coil 3c in the same manner.
According to the structure of the embodiment, the development of the streamer due to the high voltage generated between shield wires can be stopped by the tip end portions 8a and 8b in the axial direction 110 of the L-shaped barriers 5a and 5b and does not reach the surface of the pressboard insulation cylinder 7. It is possible to prevent dielectric breakdown between the HV winding and the LV winding.
As the L-shaped insulation barriers 5a and 5b are nonconductors of heat, diffusion of heat generated from the lower surface of the disc coil 3b and the upper surface of the disc coil 3c is not efficient when installing the L-shape insulation barriers 5a and 5b. Accordingly, a distance d2 between the disc coils 3a and 3b is provided to be larger than a distance d1. That is, d2>d1. d1 denotes a distance between the disc coils 3b and 3c. A value of d2 is preferably set to a distance necessary for allowing a temperature at a hot spot of the winding to be equal to or less than international/domestic standard values when the stationary induction electrical apparatus is operated in this structure.
In addition to the method for securing cooling, for example, a method of increasing a flow rate of the cooling medium by performing setting so that d2=d1 can be considered.
In the case where a press board with 1.6 mm in thickness is used as the L-shaped insulation barriers 5a and 5b, the breakdown voltage is improved approximately 40%.
Here, the invention is not limited to the structure in which the flow path is provided between coils of odd-ordinal layers and the L-shaped insulation barrier is provided between coils of even-ordinal layers, and it is also preferable to adopt a structure in which the L-shaped insulation barrier is provided between disc coils where the high voltage is generated between the shield wires to secure the cooling flow path between coils where the low voltage is generated between the shield wires when the high voltage and the low voltage are alternately generated.
According to the structure of the embodiment, a withstand voltage between high-voltage coils of the disc winding can be improved by adopting the L-shaped insulation barrier without complicating manufacturing processes.
A winding having a structure in which the disc coil 3h in which the electric wire 1 is wound in a circumferential direction 120 with 8 turns and the shield wire 2h is wound with 4 turns on the outer peripheral side thereof and plural disc coils 3i, 3j . . . having the same structure are stacked in the axial direction 110. The shield wire 2h is connected to a shield wire 2m wound in a disc coil 3m of the sixth layer counted from the disc coil 3h by a crossover line 4d for shielding.
It is known that good insulation characteristics when the lightning surge occurred and so on can be obtained in the structure in the same manner as Embodiment 1.
On the other hand, a voltage 2V and a voltage 3V are alternately generated between the shield wires 2h and 2i wound in the disc coils 3h and 3i and between the shield wires 2i and 2j wound in the disc coils 3i and 3j in the structure.
The L-shaped insulation barrier is provided between coils in which a voltage between shield wires is 3V in the same manner as Embodiment 1. Also, a distance between coils in which a voltage between shield wires is 2V is increased to secure the cooling performance.
The invention is not limited to the above embodiments and various modification examples are included. In above embodiments, the invention is explained clearly, and the embodiments are not always limited to ones including all components explained above. It is possible to replace part of components of one embodiment with components of another embodiment, and it is also possible to add components of one embodiment to components of another embodiment. Furthermore, addition, deletion and displacement of part of components of each embodiment may be performed with respect to components of another embodiment.
