LG·FK Series Combination switching Device

The LG FK series composite switch consists of three independent composite switches, suitable for on/off control of low-voltage reactive power compensation capacitor banks. The basic working principle of the composite switch is to connect a thyristor and a magnetic latching relay in parallel. This allows the composite switch to have the advantages of thyristor zero-crossing switching at the moment of connection and disconnection, while having the advantages of contactor switches with zero power consumption during normal operation.
Ordinary composite switches are controlled by DC voltage to switch on or off, with signals transmitted unidirectionally, requiring each composite switch to have an independent control signal line. If a composite switch malfunctions, the controller or distribution terminal will not be aware of it, potentially causing the compensation device to operate with a fault for an extended period. The introduction of intelligent composite switches effectively solves this problem. It can feed back its own faults to the host computer via a communication line, allowing users to understand the cause of the abnormality in the compensation device immediately. This aligns better with the spirit of smart grid construction. Furthermore, all control feedback is connected in parallel via a single twisted-pair cable, significantly reducing the number of control lines required for the compensation device.

    LG.ZFK series intelligent combination switching - Fault Alarm

    The reactive power compensation controller or power distribution monitoring and metering terminal paired with the LG·ZFK series intelligent interconnected composite switch will detect fault information in the switch in real time. Furthermore, users can communicate with the controller or terminal via a host computer to obtain real-time switch operating status. In case of a fault, timely handling is possible. The table below lists the alarm faults that can be obtained from the switch information.

    Features

    1.Zero-crossing switching: The basic working principle of a composite switch is to connect a thyristor switch and a magnetically latched circuit breaker in parallel, achieving zero-crossing voltage conduction and zero-crossing current disconnection. This allows the composite switch to have the advantage of no inrush current of a thyristor switch during connection and disconnection, while having the advantage of no power consumption of a physical switch during normal operation. The implementation method is as follows: during connection, the thyristor is controlled to conduct first at the moment of zero-crossing voltage, and then the magnetically latched circuit breaker is activated after stabilization; during disconnection, the magnetically latched circuit breaker is opened first, and the thyristor disconnects after a delay at zero-crossing, thus achieving zero-crossing current disconnection.

    2.The system employs a microcontroller to control the switching and intelligently monitor the operation of the thyristors, magnetically latched circuit breakers, input power supply, and load, thus providing comprehensive protection functions. These include: Voltage fault phase loss protection: the switch will refuse to close when a phase of the system voltage is lost; Power supply phase loss protection: the switch will refuse to close when a phase of the working power supply is lost; Self-diagnostic fault protection: the system automatically monitors the operating status of the thyristors and magnetically latched circuit breakers, and if a fault occurs, it will refuse to close or automatically deactivate; Power outage protection: in the event of a sudden power outage after connection, the system will automatically trip.

    3.No harmonic injection: Since the conduction moment is triggered by the zero crossing of the thyristor, and the magnetic latching circuit breaker is activated after a delay, no harmonics are generated when the circuit breaker is working.

    4.Low power consumption: Due to the use of magnetically protected circuit breakers, the control device only consumes power during switching operations and does not consume power under normal conditions. Furthermore, because the contact resistance of the magnetically protected circuit breaker is low, it does not generate heat, eliminating the need for external heat sinks or fans and reducing costs. This completely avoids the risk of thyristor burnout and also prevents damage to other electrical components operating in the same machine, truly achieving the goal of energy saving and consumption reduction.

    5.The input signal is opto-isolated from the composite switch: it has strong anti-interference ability and is safe and reliable in operation.
