Введение

With the rapid development of smart grids, industrial intelligence and new energy projects, traditional high-voltage distribution equipment with fixed structures struggles to meet modern flexible construction and upgrade demands. Adopting an assembled design и flexible combination, the advanced modular switchgear effectively solves the pain points of difficult expansion and cumbersome maintenance, becoming the mainstream choice for modern medium and high-voltage power distribution systems.

 

Overview of Modular High-Voltage Switchgear

Definition and Core Concepts

Modular high-voltage switchgear is a new generation of high-voltage distribution equipment that separates the entire cabinet into multiple independent, standardized, and interchangeable functional units in accordance with distribution logic and safety specifications. Each module corresponds to independent electrical functions such as input, output, transformer, metering, and protection control, completely breaking the limitations of traditional cabinet welding, structural fixation, and single-function.

Its core design concept is prefabricated design and flexible combination, abandoning the traditional integrated fixed structure, and supporting the free grouping and flexible arrangement of cabinet types such as input cabinet, output cabinet, PT cabinet, transformer cabinet, isolation cabinet, etc. The equipment has strong versatility, high expandability, and convenient modification, which perfectly adapts to the personalized construction and later expansion iteration needs of smart grid, industrial park, new energy power station and other projects, and solves the industry pain points of traditional high-voltage cabinet layout rigidity, high expansion cost, and difficult operation and maintenance.

Basic Structural Components

The KYN28-24 modular high-voltage cabinet adopts the mainstream armored compartment structure in the industry. The entire cabinet is scientifically divided into four independent sealed compartments, namely, busbar room, circuit breaker room, cable room, and secondary control room. Each compartment is physically isolated by metal partitions, which can effectively block the spread of fault arcs and avoid interference between functional units, thereby improving the structural safety of equipment operation.

The equipment is equipped with VS1, VN2 series high-performance medium and high-voltage vacuum circuit breakers and solid-sealed vacuum switches, with excellent arc extinguishing performance and long mechanical life; The main busbar adopts a double insulation process of heat shrink insulation + epoxy coating, optimizes the electrode structure, and effectively reduces local discharge; The secondary circuit is equipped with high-precision control and protection elements, which can realize real-time monitoring, fault diagnosis and automatic protection. The overall cabinet has clear layers, compact structure, and high standardization, which lays a solid foundation for modular assembly and flexible combination.

Core Performance Characteristics of Modular High-Voltage Switchgear

Assembled Design and Flexible Combination Capability

The core advantage of modular switchgear is standardized assembly design. All functional modules of KYN28-24 are produced according to the national standard and the IEC international standard, with high dimensional accuracy and strong interchangeability. Different from the traditional welding cabinet structure, which is fixed and cannot adapt to various working conditions, this series of equipment supports the free combination of various functional units according to the project power distribution scale, load level, and process requirements, and customizes the exclusive medium-voltage power distribution system scheme.

Relying on the characteristics of flexible combination, the load growth in the later stage of the project, the upgrading of the power grid, when the capacity is expanded, it is not necessary to replace the equipment as a whole. It is only necessary to add or replace a single functional module to complete the system upgrade, which greatly shortens the construction period, reduces the equipment investment and renovation cost, and significantly improves the flexibility, expandability and long-term use value of the distribution system.

Excellent Electrical Performance and Superior Operational Stability

The electrical parameters of the KYN28-24 modular high-voltage cabinet are comprehensive and excellent, fully meeting the operation specifications of the 24kV medium-voltage power grid. The rated current of the equipment covers the full specification of 630A-3150A, and is suitable for various load scenarios such as industrial power distribution, commercial power supply, and new energy grid connection. It can withstand 20kA, 31.5k A / 4s short-term short-circuit current; the peak withstand current can reach up to 80kA, with extremely strong short-circuit fault resistance.

In terms of insulation performance, the equipment has a withstand voltage of 125 kV between phases and 145 kV at the break point, with a maximum withstand voltage of 79 kV for lightning surges and transient overvoltage surges, which can effectively resist lightning surges and transient voltage surges in the power grid. The secondary control circuit can withstand 2000V AC voltage and has excellent anti-interference ability. The local discharge of the equipment is low, the electrical loss is small, the operation is stable under long-term full load and complex power grid conditions, without problems such as breakdown, flashover, and abnormal heat generation, and the reliability of the equipment is far beyond the industry standard.

 Comprehensive Safety Interlocks and Anti-Misoperation Protection

Safety protection is the core bottom line of the design of high-voltage cabinets. The KYN28-24 modular switchgear is equipped with a complete and perfect five-protection mechanical interlocking system, which prevents all high-risk errors in high-voltage operation from the hardware level: it is strictly forbidden to push and pull the hand car with a load. Do not allow the grounding switch to be closed when it is energized, do not allow the circuit breaker to be closed when the grounding switch is closed, do not allow energized grounding operations, and do not allow unauthorized access to energized sections. The multiple mechanical locking mechanisms have a rigorous logic and mandatory linkage, making it impossible for humans to violate the rules, and completely avoiding equipment failures and safety accidents caused by human error.

The cabinet adopts an armored all-closed metal structure, and the independent compartment isolation design can effectively block the arc, high-temperature gas and splashes produced by internal short circuit, protect the personal safety of operators, and prevent equipment burning and electrical fires. Combined with high-precision relay protection and intelligent monitoring devices, it realizes precise fault identification, rapid tripping, and real-time alarm, forming a double safety barrier of mechanical interlocking + electrical protection, and comprehensively improving the safety of the distribution system operation.

Compact Structure, Efficient and Convenient Operation and Maintenance

The traditional high-voltage cabinet is bulky, takes up a lot of space, and has high construction costs. The KYN28-24 modular integration optimizes the layout, and the cabinet size is divided into two specifications: 800×1,810×2,380mm and 1,000×1, 810×2.380mm. Compared with traditional equipment, it saves more than 30% of the space in the distribution room, significantly reduces the investment in civil infrastructure, and is suitable for urban narrow distribution rooms and compact layout scenarios.

The circuit breaker adopts a removable car structure, supporting plug-in and independent installation and maintenance. During daily inspection, equipment maintenance, and fault handling, the circuit breaker car can be operated separately without disassembling the entire cabinet. Single module inspection does not affect the normal power supply of other cabinets, and the power outage time is minimized, ensuring the continuity of power supply and greatly reducing the difficulty and cost of later operation and maintenance.

Strong Environmental Adaptability and Long Service Life

The cabinet body adopts high-quality steel plate + electrostatic anti-corrosion spraying technology, which is dust-proof, anti-aging and corrosion-resistant. The internal insulating accessories are made of high weather-resistant materials, and the insulation performance will not degrade over a long period of operation. Under the premise of standardized installation and regular maintenance, the overall service life of the equipment can reach 20-30 years, the failure rate is extremely low, and it has high long-term operation stability and cost-effectiveness.
