Background technology
Now, people often are confined to hollow coil to the Rogowski coil, and the skeleton of coil is by the natural nonmagnetic substance that is defined as.Mathematically be, hollow coil has great dynamic range, in theory even can think that it forever can be unsaturated, but, hollow coil also has a great shortcoming, and tested rated current is hundreds of ampere-hours, and the output voltage of hollow coil generally is about tens of millivolts.When therefore hollow coil is connected use as current measuring device with secondary meters such as metering, demonstrations, the electric potential signal of induction must be by corresponding circuit processing and amplifying, and in number of devices huge relatively power industry and industrial quarters, in order to save the useful life of cost and increase instrument, often select passive pointer secondary meter for use, at this moment, the driving force wretched insufficiency of hollow coil, its range of application is greatly limited.In addition on the one hand, at the very little ampere-hour in full of tested electric current, the output potential of general hollow coil for the number microvolts, is difficult to the processing of this small-signal often, often can not get gratifying effect, the size that improves its induced potential a kind of ingenious and effective method of can yet be regarded as.Improve in the method for induced potential, the number of turn that strengthens secondary winding is common a kind of, but, because in order to guarantee certainty of measurement, hollow coil has specific (special) requirements to the coiling of secondary winding, as Kojovic Ljubomir.Rogowski coils suit relay protectionand measurement[of power systems] .IEEE Computer Applicationsin power, 1997,10 (3): 47-52 is said, and loop density is constant; The skeleton constant cross section; Each cross section of every circle coil coiled on skeleton of secondary winding all center line with corresponding skeleton cross section is vertical, otherwise will introduce bigger measure error, the number of turn of secondary winding is many more, is difficult to reach the requirement of coiling more, therefore makes that this method is limited.
The design key of Rogowski coil is in order to obtain a stable coefficient of mutual inductance M, and its expression formula is:
In the formula, μ is the magnetic permeability of framework material, and N is a coil turn, and h is the coil rack height, and Ra is the skeleton external diameter, R
iBe the skeleton internal diameter.
The skeleton of hollow coil is non-core material, and its magnetic permeability is constant to be 4 π * 10
-7, its relative permeability is 1.Improve the output potential of Rogowski coil, the relative permeability that improves framework material is a very effective method.
Summary of the invention
The purpose of this utility model is to overcome the shortcoming that general hollow coil output signal is too small, driving force is not enough, and the Rogowski coil that a kind of induced potential is big, certain driving force is arranged is provided.Air-gap iron core has been used more widely in fields such as transformer, electric welding machine, reactors, but yet there are no the application in the Rogowski coil.The magnetic resistance of iron core part is much smaller than the magnetic resistance of air-gap part in the air-gap iron core, therefore be equivalent to iron core with part magnetic circuit short circuit, its relative permeability is higher than the relative permeability of air greatly, the equivalent permeability of whole iron core generally can be designed to 10~200, from the formula of above-mentioned Rogowski coil mutual inductance, the raising of skeleton relative permeability will make the Rogowski coil output potential of its formation of utilization greatly strengthen.
Adopt Rogowski coil described in the utility model can realize supporting use with passive pointer secondary meter easily.The secondary output-current rating of the current transformer that is widely adopted now is 5A or 1A, Rogowski coil rating output potential of the present utility model is the three ten-day period of hot season, but compare with traditional current transformer and to have smaller volume and weight, the consumption of skeleton ferromagnetic material and secondary winding copper cash will be saved greatly, in addition, this coil is output as induced potential, generally is in the open-circuit working state, compares safer with traditional current transformer.
The utility model provides a kind of Rogowski coil, comprise coil rack and secondary winding, describedly be a kind of coil of measuring alternation or pulse current, irregular electric current, tested current carrying conductor passes this Rogowski coil along the center, secondary winding induces certain electromotive force, and this electromotive force is directly proportional with tested electric current time differential; Coil rack is made up of the iron core of band air gap, this iron core cross section equates everywhere, density is even, and make of identical material, used material can be that silicon steel sheet is also nanocrystalline, amorphous or other high permeability magnetic material, an iron core has an air gap at least, in order to obtain best measurement effect, generally be advisable to open the even number air gap, each air gap length equates, evenly distributes on the core length direction, and each air gap length generally should not surpass the equivalent diameter of iron core cross section; It is fixed that the number of turn of secondary winding is come according to the size of measured electric current and required output signal, and secondary winding only needs roughly to be wound on uniformly on the air-gap iron core skeleton, promptly guarantees all to be had on the separated every iron leg core of air gap the coiling of equal amount; The output signal of this Rogowski coil is proportional to tested electric current time differential, its induced potential can carry out integral processing also can be without integral processing, promptly this coil both can be with integrator work also to can work independently, generally speaking, irregular waveform often needs to reduce with integrator, the periodic waveform of rule, for example, the sine wave that frequency is more stable does not often need to carry out integral processing.
In a word, compare with traditional hollow coil, Rogowski coil of the present utility model mainly has following major advantage:
1, adopt air-gap iron core as framework material, the relative permeability of skeleton is greatly improved, and output signal can increase tens of times, and Signal Processing becomes easily, in addition, also provides possible for itself and the supporting use of pointer secondary meter.
2, adopt air-gap iron core as the secondary bobbin, ferromagnetic material has magnet accumulating cap, magnetic flux density almost everywhere in the skeleton equates and the magnetic flux density in the skeleton outer air, so, Rogowski coil of the present utility model does not need to follow in the hollow coil about the absolute principle uniformly of secondary coiling, only need to guarantee that the secondary coiling roughly is evenly distributed in promptly guarantees all had the coiling of equal amount to get final product on the separated every iron leg core of air gap on the skeleton, the center line with corresponding skeleton cross section is vertical respectively but do not need the cross section of every circle coil coiled on skeleton of secondary winding.
3, each air-gap iron core has an air gap at least, in order to obtain best measurement effect, generally be advisable to open the even number air gap, the equal in length of each air-gap and evenly distribution, the structure of this symmetrical distribution has reduced leakage field greatly, has guaranteed the constant of relative permeability, and under the bigger situation of tested electric current, can adjust relative permeability by the quantity that increases air gap, guarantee that coil can not make core sataration in normal range of operation.
4, because the magnetic flux density in the air-gap iron core is even, and Rogowski coil of the present utility model is compared with hollow coil, is subjected to the influence of lead and coil relative position little, anti-external electromagnetic field interference performance is strong.The air gap tested lead of distribution also can the improvement of symmetry and coil relative position can further improve the problem of position influence by limiting each air gap length, thereby position influence is reduced to minimum measuring the influence that produces.
5, secondary coiling roughly distributes uniformly, when having reduced the secondary winding manufacture difficulty, can improve lead and the influence of coil relative position to certainty of measurement greatly, and can reduce the interference of outside electromagnetic interference to measurement.
In addition, compare with traditional current transformer based on transformer principle, Rogowski coil of the present utility model mainly has following major advantage:
1, because the secondary load resistance of coil of the present utility model is much larger than the equivalent inductive reactance of the coefficient of self-inductance of coil windings, it is the product of coefficient of self-inductance and tested electric current angular frequency, the secondary of coil is output as the induced potential that is directly proportional with tested primary current time differential, be that coil generally is in the open-circuit working state, and the secondary output-current rating of conventional current instrument transformer is 5A or 1A, it is very little generally to be in short circuit operating state or secondary load, be generally several ohm or tens ohm, so coil of the present utility model is compared operating state with traditional current transformer and operation principle is all different, it is dangerous not have open circuit, safer.
2, because Rogowski coil of the present utility model adopts air-gap iron core as framework material, under identical tested electric current and framework material, size situation, compare with iron core-closed, reduced the magnetic flux density in the iron core, therefore compare with traditional current transformer, have smaller volume and weight, will save the consumption of skeleton ferromagnetic material and secondary winding copper cash greatly.
Embodiment
High magnetic-inductive capacity rogowski coil of the present utility model adopts air-gap iron core as skeleton, its objective is in order to increase its coefficient of mutual inductance, induced potential is enhanced so that carry out processing of circuit and with the direct supporting use of secondary meter, its concrete execution mode is:
1, the design of air-gap iron core., mainly be the profile of a current carrying conductor and profile and the basic size that physical size is determined the Rogowski coil rack at first, comprise external diameter, internal diameter and height according to concrete applied environment; Then, determine the material of iron core according to the frequency range of survey electric current, medium and low frequency generally adopts silicon steel sheet, generally adopts the good material of frequency performance for the application scenario of very high frequency, such as nanocrystalline or amorphous etc.; At last, select the number of air gap according to the size of primary current, electric current is big more, the air gap number that needs is many more, the physical size of skeleton is big more, and the air gap number that needs is many more, determines that the basis for estimation of the size of the quantity of air gap and each air gap is, when passing to rated current on the current carrying conductor, the magnetic flux density in the skeleton is less than the saturation induction density of selected ferromagnetic material.
2, the coiling of secondary coiling.Because what adopt is air-gap iron core, the secondary coiling does not need to follow absolute principle uniformly, roughly is evenly distributed on the skeleton as long as guarantee the secondary coiling.The number of turn secondary output voltage as required of secondary coiling is determined, determined the concrete parameter of air-gap iron core in the step 1, just can obtain the relative permeability and the skeleton sectional area of air-gap iron core from these parameters, just can calculate the number of secondary coiling according to relative permeability and skeleton sectional area.The secondary coiling can be being wound on the skeleton of individual layer, also can be divided into sandwich wound, in addition, in order further to improve the interference of its anti-external electromagnetic field, winding back and forth the be divided into even level of secondary coiling with similar hollow coil secondary winding can be wound on the air-gap iron core skeleton.
3, the load capacity of secondary winding.The design's high magnetic-inductive capacity rogowski coil and hollow coil are similar, they all are the induced voltage signals of output, for the linearity that guarantees to measure, the load resistance of its secondary coiling generally should not be too little, basic principle is the equivalent inductive reactance of load resistance much larger than the coefficient of self-inductance of coil windings, i.e. the product of coefficient of self-inductance and tested electric current angular frequency.The same with hollow coil, the output potential of high magnetic-inductive capacity rogowski coil is proportional to tested electric current time differential, in order to reduce the size of tested electric current, the general integrator that adopts is handled output potential, but in the comparatively stable place of frequency, coil can not connect integrator yet and directly uses induced potential to measure.
