SWITCH-FUSE MODULE

Description

[0001] Aspects of the invention relate to a switch-fuse module, in particular a switch-fuse module for use with insulating gases with global warming potential less than global warming potential of SF6. Further aspects relate to a ring main unit including the switch-fuse module.

Technical background

[0002] In electrical energy technologies, the gas sulphur hexafluoride (SF6) plays a key role as an insulating and arc-quenching medium, particularly in switchgear. In addition to its many advantages in terms of technical properties, SF6 has the disadvantage of having a very high global warming potential (GWP). It is a potent greenhouse gas.

[0003] An essential criterion when designing electrical equipment is a compact design. In urban areas, the installation of electrical equipment often depends upon space-saving construction.

[0004] Thus, there is a need for electrical energy technologies that address environmental concerns. There is also a need to provide compact electrical energy technologies.

[0005] Document GB982012A discloses a circuit interrupter device of the gas-blast type. Document GB982012A shows a circuit interrupting device in figure 1, and an embodiment incorporating a fusible link in figure 2.

[0025] The switch-fuse module and/or ring main unit may have a width of more than 400 mm and/or less than 800 mm, or alternatively more than 400 mm and/or less than 1000 mm. For example, the switch-fuse module may have a width, in a horizontal direction parallel to the horizontal arrangement of the switch-disconnector 700 and the at least one fuse 100, of less than 800 mm.

[0032] A puffer switching device may be utilised as the switch-disconnector 700. Alternatively, a puffer switching device may be utilised in addition to the switch-disconnector 700. Alternatively, a vacuum interrupter may be utilised. The puffer switching device may include a fixed tulip contact. The fixed tulip contact may be connected to at least one busbar 800. The puffer switching device may include a linearly sliding electrode, a blowing compression chamber, and/or blowing ports. The puffer switching device may include a rotating shaft to disconnect the line, which may be a load break shaft 600 for example. A switch-disconnector housing may cover the load break shaft 600 of the panel.

[0033] Some embodiments relating to the insulating gas are described as follows.

[0034] The switch-fuse module may be of a gas insulating switchgear for SF6 alternatives. There may be a pressurized tank configured to contain at least one insulating gas having dielectric strength lower than dielectric strength of SF6. The width of the tank may be extended from a standard tank size. The pressurized tank may be configured to be filled, for example during installation and/or commissioning, to an absolute pressure in a range from 1.0 bar to 1.5 bar, preferably in a range from 1.3 bar to 1.4 bar.

[0035] Global warming potential may be understood to be assessed over an interval of 100 years, relative to CO2 gas. SF6 may be considered to have a global warming potential of 22,200 times that of CO2 over a 100 year period. The at least one insulating gas having dielectric strength lower than dielectric strength of SF6 includes at least one gas component selected from the group consisting of: CO2, O2, N2, H2, air, N2O, a hydrocarbon, in particular CH4, a perfluorinated or partially hydrogenated organofluorine compound, and mixtures thereof. In further embodiments, the at least one insulating gas includes a background gas, in particular selected from the group consisting CO2, O2, N2, H2, air, in a mixture with an organofluorine compound selected from the group consisting of: fluoroether, oxirane, fluoramine, fluoroketone, fluoroolefin, fluoronitrile, and mixtures and/or decomposition products thereof. For example, the at least one insulating gas may include dry air or technical air. The at least one insulating gas may be a dielectric insulating medium. The at least one insulating gas may in particular include an organofluorine compound selected from the group consisting of: a fluoroether, an oxirane, a fluoramine, a fluoroketone, a fluoroolefin, a fluoronitrile, and mixtures and/or decomposition products thereof. In particular, the at least one insulating gas may include as a hydrocarbon at least CH4, a perfluorinated and/or partially hydrogenated organofluorine compound, and mixtures thereof. The organofluorine compound is preferably selected from the group consisting of: a fluorocarbon, a fluoroether, a fluoroamine, a fluoronitrile, and a fluoroketone; and preferably is a fluoroketone and/or a fluoroether, more preferably a perfluoroketone and/or a hydrofluoroether, more preferably a perfluoroketone having from 4 to 12 carbon atoms and even more preferably a perfluoroketone having 4, 5 or 6 carbon atoms. The at least one insulating gas preferably includes the fluoroketone mixed with air or an air component such as N2, O2, and/or CO2.

[0036] In specific cases, the fluoronitrile mentioned above is a perfluoronitrile, in particular a perfluoronitrile containing two carbon atoms, and/or three carbon atoms, and/or four carbon atoms. More particularly, the fluoronitrile can be a perfluoro-alkylnitrile, specifically perfluoro-acetonitrile, perfluoro-propionitrile (C2F5CN) and/or perfluorobutyronitrile (C3F7CN). Most particularly, the fluoronitrile can be perfluoro-isobutyro¬nitrile (according to formula (CF3)2CFCN) and/or perfluoro-2-methoxypropanenitrile (according to formula CF3CF(OCF3)CN). Of these, perfluoroisobutyronitrile is particularly preferred due to its low toxicity.

[0037] As one example, the switch-fuse module can operate with air, dry air, and/or a gas mixture including air for a rated voltage in a range from 1 kV to 52 kV, for example 12 kV or a 12 kV rated switchgear. In another example, the switch-fuse module can operate with a gas mixture including a C5 perfluoroketone and/or air, for a rated voltage in a range from 1 kV to 52 kV, for example 24 kV or a 24 kV rated switchgear.

The first earthing switch 400 and the second earthing switch 300 may be configured to be operated simultaneously and/or jointly connected to a common actuating mechanism, for example the earthing shaft 500. The earthing shaft 500 may operate by means of mechanical linkages. Both upstream and downstream of the at least one fuse 100 may be simultaneously grounded.

"Substantially parallel" may be understood as having less than 45 degrees, preferably less than 30 degrees, even more preferably less than 15 degrees, and most preferably less than 5 degrees deviation from the parallel.

[0044] The at least one busbar 800 may be mounted above the at least one fuse 100 and/or the switch-disconnector 700. The at least one busbar 800 may be a long connection (for example, a busbar adapted for interconnecting a plurality of panels or switchboards such as the switch-fuse module, as shown in Fig. 1), or a short connection (for example, a busbar section interconnecting the switch-disconnector 700 with the bushing 900, where the bushing may be connected to a line or to a further busbar section, as shown in Figs. 2 and 3). In the arrangement of Fig. 2, a further busbar section may extend horizontally on the other side of the bushing 900, i.e. to the left side in Fig. 2, for interconnecting a plurality of panels or switchboards in a similar manner as the busbar of Fig. 1. In this case the swich fuse module may be an outermost (here: rightmost) panel or switchboard of a plurality of panels or switchboards arranged in a row and interconnected by the busbar 800.

[0049] The switch-fuse module may be interconnected, e.g., via a busbar 800 as shown in Fig. 1, to further panels and/or switchboards interconnected by the busbar 800, thereby consituting a switchgear comprising the panels and/or switchboards including the switch-fuse module. The swich fuse module may be an outermost panel of a switchgear. Where the switch-fuse module is the outermost panel of a switchgear, top and side bushings may be mounted. A positioning of components such as the at least one fuse 100, the at least one electrical linkage, the at least one busbar 800 and/or the switch-disconnector 700 may provide the needed dielectric strength. The external surface of conductive materials may be configured to provide the needed dielectric strength.
