The structure of Loop Feed Pad Mounted Transformer is too complicated. When it operates normally, it mainly realizes the purpose of power distribution through closed-loop and open-loop methods.

The closed-loop distribution mode is relatively more stable and safe. It has been widely used in urban power distribution systems, but there are still some problems, mainly because the parameters of the system relay protection equipment cannot be accurately calculated. The open-loop system has a smaller capacity, but it can calculate the relay protection parameters more accurately.

In the current distribution network construction, most areas have adopted differentiated wiring methods, which makes it more difficult for relevant staff to repair and deal with faults.

The Loop Feed Pad Transformer has obvious advantages, mainly because traditional divergent distribution lines and trunk-type distribution lines have a wide range of applications.

However, with the continuous changes of the times, the distribution lines in these two modes cannot give full play to their own service functions, which leads to the emergence of the Loop Feed system, which can provide internal circuit channels. Carry out all-round control, so that the intelligent technology can be deepened, and the distribution network lines are also more automated.

And this system also has strong adaptability, only takes up a small space, and the investment cost is relatively small.

The thermal function of the Loop Feed Transformer is relatively stable. When the fuse in the load switch is in normal operation, it can effectively protect the transformer. More importantly, when an accident occurs, the fuse can be timely for short circuit. switch to achieve the purpose of current limiting, so that all kinds of components in the loop can also be protected.

At present, most of the Loop Feed Padmounted Transformers in the market are developed with Chinese technology, so it will not take a lot of time and energy to inspect and repair them, and switchgear, load switches, circuit breakers and other spare parts equipment It has a high level of craftsmanship and is organically combined with the current thriving information technology.

This leads to a high degree of intelligence of the Loop Feed Padmounted Transformer, which effectively reduces the pressure on mechanical operation and maintenance staff, and enables automated terminals to be widely used.

What causes Loop Feed Pad Mounted Transformer failure?

PT and PC can allow relevant management personnel to obtain the required data information, so that the distribution network automation can receive support from the data to complete the circulation smoothly. If the PT and TC are faulty, the quality of the product should be fully considered. If the product has serious quality problems, various faults will occur during the use of the PT and TC.

Therefore, when purchasing related items, the quality of the products themselves should be checked in time, and the market supervision department should strengthen the management of component suppliers to prevent products that do not meet relevant standards from appearing in the market.

Operating mechanism malfunction

Loop Feed Pad Mounted Transformer

When installing the Loop Feed Pad Mounted Transformer, the selected position is not fixed. Generally speaking, it will appear in the position used in the system.

If the environment has a large water content and the stagnation time is too long, the It will cause corrosion in some important parts, such as the contacts of the control circuit and the contacts of the spring switch.

As a result, the operating mechanism cannot operate normally, which in turn leads to a series of failures.

If the environment of the Loop Feed Pad Mounted Transformer is too harsh, it is necessary to strengthen the inspection, overhaul and maintenance of the Loop Feed Pad Mounted Transformer to ensure that the operating mechanism can operate more stably.

The load switch is always an important part of the Loop Feed Pad Mounted Transformer. If it fails, the Loop Feed Pad Mounted Transformer will not work properly.

At present, most companies use the combination switch method to ensure the safety of distribution transformers.

When the fuse is blown, it is easy to cause the load switch to fail. In this way, the thimble trigger mechanism cannot normally complete the tripping operation, and the scope of the fault is limited. will be bigger.

Arrester failure

In the Loop Feed Pad Mounted Transformer, the arrester is mainly to prevent the corresponding electrical equipment from being eroded by lightning.

If the arrester fails, the wires in the Loop Feed Pad Mounted Transformer will be short-circuited and open-circuited.

When the discharge of the cable head occurs, the whole power distribution Loop Feed Pad Mounted Transformer will have a more serious abnormality.

Thermal failure of the Pad Mounted Transformer

Radial Feed Padmounted Transformer

The shell material used by the Pad Mounted Transformer in the Loop Feed Pad Mounted Transformer is quite special, has a strong ability to absorb solar radiation, and has a strong airtightness.

This also leads to the fact that the internal heat of the Pad Mounted Transformer cannot be dissipated to the outside in time, and even if the corresponding ventilation device is installed, the heat cannot be dissipated, so that the internal temperature of the transformer will exceed the relevant standards and become slower to operate.

At the same time, the Pad Mounted Transformer is often installed outdoors, and is often eroded by wind and rain, resulting in a large amount of dirt inside the Pad Mounted Transformer. If it is not processed for a long time, its normal operation will be affected.

Especially in a highly humid and hot climate, in order to reduce the adverse effects of humid and hot water steam on the box-type transformer, a corresponding temperature control device is generally installed inside the Loop Feed Pad Mounted Transformer, but according to the actual situation, it can be known that this method is not effective.

To solve the problem of corrosion, the corresponding components inside the equipment will have corresponding safety failures.

When overhauling the Loop Feed Padmounted Transformer, power outage protection should be carried out according to the corresponding regulations, and various equipment should be turned on based on this, and in-depth overhaul of various links should be carried out according to operating standards and basic requirements.

Since the box itself cannot dissipate heat by itself, a lot of heat will inevitably accumulate inside it, which will easily cause damage to local related equipment.

Therefore, the actual upper limit of the actual capacity of various equipment should be fully considered during maintenance, and according to the equipment According to the climate characteristics, temperature conditions and geographical environment, the maintenance time and method can be flexibly selected.

In this way, the Pad Mounted Transformer can be protected to the greatest extent and its life cycle can be extended. When installing the Pad Mounted Transformer, an area that consumes less electricity during the day and more electricity at night should be selected.

When overhauling, the maximum load should be removed, the actual load in the power distribution Loop Feed Transformer should be fully detected, and the debris existing inside the equipment should be thoroughly removed, so that the A series of failures caused by it can be effectively controlled.
