We propose to characterize the short circuit current in high voltage electrical installations by measuring the closing time of contacts of closing and switching reed relays, their closed state time, or the time elapsed between the closing (opening) of contacts of a reed relay pair. Techniques for determining the amplitude of this current and the errors are outlined. It is shown that the laboratory dependences of the cur rent amplitude in the solenoid coil on the indicated time may be used to determine the I m.a value. The exper imental results are presented.
This publication is a continuation of many years of research on the development of the basis for building a unique resource-saving relay protection, which does not use current transformers to obtain information about the primary current. The authors propose to consider the possibility of building relay protection devices with the use of reed switches as sensitive elements. However, an important issue remains the study of reed switches parameters with the passage of time and the number of actuations and returns.
This article discusses an innovative device designed to determine the value of the steady-state current in the primary circuit of electrical installations using reed switches and a microprocessor without the use of current transformers. The typical structure of relay protection devices is considered. The main elements are presented. When choosing a primary converter, a reed switch was taken, because it has certain advantages over current transformers. As part of the research, experimental installations for measurements were assembled. They made it possible to emulate the real conditions in which the relay protection devices have to function, unnecessary and to depict the characteristics of future devices. The code is presented that allows the microprocessor device to function according to the laid down algorithm. A device on a reed switch and a microprocessor is presented, which allows transmitting a certain amount of current in the primary circuit in digital form (binary code) to the microprocessor protection. The presented measuring device made it possible to implement a method for determining the magnitude of the steady-state short-circuit current.
