Specialized Voltage Transformer Solution for High-Speed Railway AT Power Supply System: Focused on Strong EMI Immunity

The electromagnetic environment of the high-speed railway AT (Auto-Transformer) power supply system is extremely complex. Strong electromagnetic interference (EMI) directly affects the measurement accuracy of voltage transformers and system reliability. This solution specifically targets this core challenge by developing a dedicated voltage transformer that meets the 27.5kV single-phase power supply standard, providing a solid foundation for energy metering and relay protection on high-speed railways.

Core Technological Breakthrough: Triple Defense Against EMI Storms

  1. μ-Metal Alloy Triple Electromagnetic Shield:
    • Structure:​ Utilizes three independent inner, middle, and outer shielding shells constructed from high-permeability μ-metal alloy.
    • Efficacy:​ Effectively absorbs/blocks low-frequency strong magnetic field interference generated by the 27.5kV overhead contact line and high-frequency transient EMI caused by system switching operations. The core sensing element is effectively shielded, ensuring signal purity.
  2. 27.5kV Dedicated Single-Phase Structural Design:
    • Precise Matching:​ Magnetic circuit and windings are deeply optimized for the 27.5kV power-frequency single-phase characteristics, eliminating phase-to-phase crosstalk effects and enhancing absolute accuracy of single-point measurement.
    • Stability:​ Special materials and processes significantly reduce core saturation risk, guaranteeing transient response speed and waveform reproduction capability.
  3. Vibration Resistance Enhancement (5-200Hz, 2g Acceleration):
    • Simulation-Driven:​ Utilizes FEA (Finite Element Analysis) to simulate complex vibration spectra at trackside locations (including characteristic vibrations induced by passing CRH trains).
    • Reinforcement Solution:​ Internal core components are secured using elastic silicone potting. The external housing employs high-strength alloy and anti-vibration structural elements, ensuring zero connection loosening/displacement under long-term mechanical impact for consistent accuracy.
  4. CRH Standard Communication Interfaces (RJ45 + TNC):
    • Dual Assurance:​ The RJ45 interface provides standardized digital communication based on mature Ethernet physical layer. The redundantly designed TNC interface (coaxial connector) ensures highly reliable transmission of critical analog/digital signals under extreme interference.
    • Immunity Capability:​ Interface circuits feature built-in multi-layer EMC protection (TVS, filtering). Ports comply with the rigorous IEC 61000-4 series standards for surge and EFT immunity.
