The function of switchgear and distribution cabinet, and the reasons for the temperature rise of switchgear and distribution cabinet

The function of a switchgear distribution cabinet is to place specialized boxes for electrical appliances and circuits in power equipment, and its main function is to distribute electrical energy. Under normal operation of the switchgear, the components and circuits of the distribution cabinet will not generate serious heating or burning damage. Azonban, when the circuit malfunctions, such as electronic components heating up, the internal temperature of the distribution cabinet will rise. Excessive temperature will have a great impact on the electronic equipment inside the distribution cabinet, and in severe cases, it will damage the electronic equipment.

Why does the distribution cabinet need to measure temperature rise and the importance of the temperature measurement device in the switchgear
In the field of sealed high and low voltage distribution cabinet equipment, due to the requirements of the working environment of the sealed distribution cabinet, the working environment of the distribution cabinet is sealed. With the aging of various electronic components and cables, the contact points between important electrical equipment and cables will heat up due to excessive contact resistance caused by dust, looseness, and oxidation, and abnormal heating parts will cause various safety hazards. Azonban, due to the sealing requirements of the sealed distribution cabinet, it is difficult for inspectors to observe the internal working situation through conventional inspection methods. Moreover, due to the fact that the conventional internal temperature measurement equipment is non-contact temperature measuring instruments and is easily affected by various electromagnetic or environmental factors such as high and low temperatures inside the distribution cabinet, inaccurate temperature measurement occurs. The disadvantage of unstable work. Következésképpen, accurate online real-time temperature measurement of sealed distribution cabinets has become an urgent problem that needs to be solved in the industry.

Online monitoring and temperature measurement system for high-voltage switchgear
As an important electrical equipment for distributing electrical energy, the high-voltage distribution cabinet generates heat at the switch contacts and busbar connections due to aging or excessive contact resistance during long-term operation. This aging and heating process is a long-term and continuous process, some of which may take several months to manifest. Moreover, due to the exposed high voltage inside the cabinet, temperature monitoring of these heating parts cannot be carried out using conventional methods, especially with the large number of unmanned substations being put into use, conventional manual inspection methods are not competent. Due to the inability to detect temperature changes in abnormal situations of the distribution cabinet in a timely manner, it ultimately leads to the occurrence of fire accidents, resulting in inevitable losses. Monitoring the real-time operation of the contact temperature inside the distribution cabinet and providing timely feedback on the temperature information of the contacts is an effective solution to prevent accidents in the distribution cabinet. Azonban, due to the limited structure inside the distribution cabinet, conventional temperature measurements and manual inspection measurements cannot be carried out. Következésképpen, achieving real-time online temperature monitoring is an important means to ensure the safe operation of high-voltage distribution cabinets.
