Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention relates to a differential protection method for bridge circuit in current converter control system, including the steps of: 1). obtaining sample values of the three-phase current for the current converter control system at AC side thereof, and calculating the absolute value of each sampling value respectively; 2). calculating a value of current at the AC side of the current converter control system; and 3). determining whether to perform a relay protection for the current converter control system according to the value current at the AC side of the current converter control system. The method of the present invention provided, is fast, convenient, and with a small amount of calculation. The current converter control system determines whether to perform a relay protection in a short time. Also it reduces the possibility that the equipment burned because of cannot break the circuit in time.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A differential protection method for bridge circuit in current converter control system, being characterized in that, the differential protection method includes the steps of: 1). obtaining sample values of the three-phase current for the current converter control system at AC side thereof, and calculating the absolute value of each sampling value respectively; 2). calculating the value of current at the AC side of the current converter control system by the step of: the value of current at the AC side being k1 times of the sum of three absolute values of sample values; and 3). determining whether to perform a relay protection for the current converter control system according to the value current at the AC side of the current converter control system by the step of: If |Id−iv|>k2, performing a relay protection; wherein, k1 is a value between 0 to 1, Id is an actual measured value of direct current side of the current converter control system, iv is a current value of AC side, and k2 is a set value greater than 0. 2. The differential protection method for bridge circuit in current converter control system of claim 1 , being characterized in that, the k1 is equal to ½. 3. The differential protection method for bridge circuit in current converter control system of claim 1 , being characterized in that, the k2=0.5×IdN, where in, IdN is a rating value of DC current.
