Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for controlling a densimeter for monitoring a leakage rate of a medium and high voltage electrical equipment envelope filled with a dielectric gas under pressure, whose polluting effects on the environment are reduced and to a method of controlling the operation of said sensor.
  • a densimeter or density sensor is applied, for example, to a switch or circuit breaker, to an insulated or metallic envelope station or to a sealed metallic envelope station containing a dielectric gas, for example sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) under a pressure of a few bars.
  • a dielectric gas for example sulfur hexafluoride (SF6)
  • the densimeter is attached to the casing and is subjected to gas pressure in order to continuously measure the gas pressure in the casing. Even small leaks being unavoidable, the density or pressure of the dielectric gas in the envelope tends to decrease. Below a predetermined threshold, the operation of the circuit breaker is no longer safe. It is then necessary to inject a certain amount of gas in order to return to above the critical threshold.
  • SF6 sulfur hexafluoride
  • Such densimeters are for example known documents FR 2,770,295 , WO 2004/027804 and US 6,293,914 .
  • the densimeters comprise two contact thresholds swinging during a loss of density of gas in the envelope
  • the first contact threshold corresponds to a so-called "alarm" threshold P1 which informs the operator of the necessity to intervene on the apparatus to carry out additional filling
  • the second threshold P2 corresponds to a density value below which the electrical characteristics and the cut-off performance of the gas pressure apparatus are no longer guaranteed, in particular, the power failure during a short-circuit fault, depending on the conditions and / or the operating obligations of the network.
  • the customer will immediately give, as soon as this second threshold is reached, an opening order and lock it in the open position or it will hold it in the closed locked position according to several parameters, notably the variation of the pressure and the temperature. of gas, the breaking performance of currents of the electrical equipment.
  • Such verification is carried out at regular intervals by simulating leakage of the dielectric gas, in particular during preventive maintenance.
  • the densimeter is isolated from the inner volume of the envelope, which is then isolated in a chamber. Then the gas is flown to the outside environment and the behavior of the density meter is checked, to verify that it actually detects the pressure drop during the leakage of gas to the outside environment, and that it reacts. Consequently.
  • SF6 gas is a greenhouse gas and it is best to control leaks in the outdoor environment.
  • the gas leak is thus simulated by the lowering of the gas pressure in a closed chamber whose volume has increased.
  • the isolation means comprise a valve whose opening and closing are controlled by changing the volume of the closed chamber. It is then not necessary to provide for synchronizing the isolation of the closed chamber and the change in the volume of the closed chamber, the control device is then simple to implement.
  • the control device comprises for example a body integral with the envelope and a cover, said body and said cover defining the closed chamber, said cover being able to slide in a sealed manner in the body to modify the volume of the closed chamber.
  • the lid controls the opening and closing of the valve.
  • the valve may comprise a rod and a shutter, said shutter being intended to cooperate sealingly with a seat bordering a communication passage between the closed chamber and the interior space of the envelope, said rod being able to be displaced by the lid to control the opening and closing of the valve.
  • the order is very simple and robust.
  • the control device comprises, for example screws connecting the cover to the body and allowing said cover to slide on a determined stroke.
  • the present invention also relates to a medium and high voltage electrical apparatus in a sealed metal envelope filled with dielectric gas under pressure comprising at least one control device according to the present invention and a densimeter capable of measuring the pressure in the chamber of the control device. .
  • the isolation of the densimeter is advantageously caused by the expansion of the volume of the chamber.
  • the step of verifying the behavior of the densimeter provides for the detection of a switch of alarm contacts and an opening of the circuit breaker.
  • FIG. 1 a schematic sectional view of an exemplary embodiment of a device for controlling the operation of a densimeter according to the present invention mounted on a metal casing 4 of a circuit breaker or of a high-voltage electrical apparatus can be seen.
  • the envelope defines an interior space 5 filled with a dielectric gas under pressure, for example sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) at a gas pressure of 7 bar effective at 20 ° C.
  • a dielectric gas under pressure for example sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) at a gas pressure of 7 bar effective at 20 ° C.
  • the control device comprises a housing 6 integral with the casing 4. In the example shown, it is in one piece with the casing 4, which makes it possible to avoid sealing problems between the casing and the envelope 4.
  • the housing 6 delimits an interior chamber 8 adapted to be placed in communication with the interior space 5 of the envelope 4 by a channel 9.
  • the pressure in the chamber 8 is equal to that prevailing in the space 5.
  • a densimeter 2 is, in the example shown, mounted in a sealed manner on the housing 4 and intended to measure the pressure of SF6 in the chamber 8.
  • the densimeter is capable of detecting at least one pressure threshold, advantageously two pressure thresholds; a first threshold P1 corresponding to an alarm threshold corresponding to the need to intervene on the densimeter, and a second threshold P2 corresponding to the case where the operation of the electrical equipment is no longer guaranteed, in particular the power failure during a fault in short circuit. In the latter case, the device is either opened and locked in this position, or locked in the closed position.
  • the densimeter 2 is connected to a processing unit (not shown) able to indicate to the users the state of the electrical equipment.
  • the chamber 8 has a volume able to vary.
  • the housing 6 comprises an upper portion 12 forming a lid and a body 14 on which is mounted in a sealed manner the lid 12.
  • the lid 12 is able to move in a sealed manner with respect to the body so as to modify the volume of the chamber 8.
  • the cover 12 has a smaller diameter portion 12.1 and a larger diameter portion 12.2 forming a base, the smaller diameter portion 12.1 being slidably mounted in the body 14.
  • Dynamic sealing means 16 are provided between the cover 12 and the body 14 in order to ensure frictional sealing during the displacement of the cover in the body 14. These are for example mounted in a groove on a periphery outside of the smaller diameter part 12.1.
  • the sealing means are for example an O-ring or a lip seal
  • the base 12.2 is intended to bear against a free end 14.1 of the body 14.
  • the control device also comprises a means 10 for sealingly isolating the chamber 8 from the volume 5.
  • the means 10 is formed by a valve comprising a shutter 18 and a seat 20 bordering the channel 9.
  • the shutter 18 is resiliently urged into contact with the seat 20 to close the channel 9, for example by means of a helical spring 25.
  • valve stem 22 integral with the shutter 18, mounted in the channel 9 and projecting into the chamber 8.
  • a free end 22.1 of the valve stem 22 is adapted to come into contact with the cover 12 and to be moved in the opening direction of the valve indicated by the arrow F by the cover 12.
  • the spring 25 is mounted in reaction between an end 9.1 of the channel 9 opposite that carrying the valve seat 20 and the free end 22.1 of the valve stem 22.
  • This embodiment has the advantage of being simple and robust; it is not necessary to provide an external control, bulky and weathered. In addition, the control of the valve is effected without the need for additional external elements.
  • a second channel 26 is provided in the cover 12 to bring the gas under pressure to the densimeter. But it can be expected that the densimeter opens directly into the chamber 8.
  • the lid 12 is fixed on the body 14 for example by means of screws not shown, for example four. When these are tight, the control device is in the configuration of the figure 1 , the volume of the chamber 8 is minimum. When the screws are in a completely loose state the volume of the chamber 8 is maximum.
  • the securing means 24 of the cover 12 on the body 14 are also provided. These means also form guiding means for moving the cover relative to the body in a given stroke in order to avoid a loss of seal between the cover 12 and the body 14.
  • the securing means 14 are for example formed by screws mounted captively on the body 4.
  • the chamber 8 In the normal surveillance state represented on the figure 1 the chamber 8 is in communication with the space 5. The densimeter then measures the pressure prevailing in the chamber 8 and therefore in the space 5.
  • the screws are gradually unscrewed. At first, the cover 12 moves away from body, bringing the shutter 18 closer to the seat 20, until the latter comes into sealed contact with the seat 20 and isolates the chamber 8 from the space 5. Then, in a second step, the unscrewing screws are continued to cause an additional increase in the volume of the chamber 8.
  • the lid functions as a piston.
  • the alarm contacts switch and the circuit breaker opens. In the opposite case, the densimeter requires an intervention.
  • the initial volume of the chamber 8 and its volume variation are determined so that the pressure in the chamber 8, when its volume is maximum, is less than the second pressure threshold P2 of the circuit breaker. It is also possible that the pressure in the chamber corresponds to the first threshold P1. In this case, it only checks the operation of the alarm and not the switching of the contacts.
  • the densimeter was thus controlled without releasing greenhouse gases in the external environment.
  • no mass of gas is taken from the envelope.
  • the pressure drop is due only to the unavoidable leaks, and not because of the tests.
  • the filling pressure is at 7 effective bars
  • the alarm threshold P1 at 6 bars
  • the threshold P2 at 5.7 bars.
  • the increase in the volume of the chamber 8 is done manually. But it can be provided mechanisms controlled by an electric motor and / or hydraulic cylinders.
  • the control device comprising means for measuring the pressure in the chamber 8 to verify which pressure value actually triggers the density meter.
  • these means comprise a channel 28 formed in the cover 12, which opens into the hydrometer channel and outside.
  • a non-return valve is mounted in the channel 28 at its end opening outward to allow connection to a reference pressure gauge or standard gauge or other conventional or electronic reference system (not shown).
  • the standard manometer is connected to the chamber 8 before changing its volume.
  • the densimeter according to the present invention has the advantage of being of very simple construction and operation.
