Abstract

The high-voltage incoming cabinet and high-voltage outgoing cabinet are important components in the power system used for receiving and distributing high-voltage electricity. There are some significant differences between them, mainly reflected in their functions, locations, and internal structures. Below is a detailed explanation of the differences between these two types of cabinets:

High-Voltage Incoming Cabinet (Infeed Cabinet)

  1. Definition:

    • The high-voltage incoming cabinet is a distribution cabinet used to receive high-voltage power in the power system.
    • It is located at the entrance of the power system, usually receiving power from substations or high-voltage transmission lines.

  2. Function:

    • Power Reception: Receives high-voltage power and introduces it into the power system through internal devices such as circuit breakers and isolating switches.
    • Protection and Control: Includes protective devices such as circuit breakers and relays to protect the power system from faults.
    • Monitoring and Measurement: Equipped with instruments and indicators to display key parameters such as current and voltage.

  3. Internal Structure:

    • Circuit Breaker: Used to cut off current under normal and fault conditions.
    • Isolating Switch: Used to safely disconnect equipment from the grid during maintenance.
    • Current Transformer (CT)andVoltage Transformer (VT): Used to measure current and voltage through cables.
    • Surge Arrester: Used to protect equipment from lightning strikes and overvoltage.

High-Voltage Outgoing Cabinet (Feeder Cabinet)

  1. Definition:

    • The high-voltage outgoing cabinet is a distribution cabinet used to distribute high-voltage power to downstream loads in the power system.
    • It is located after the high-voltage incoming cabinet and is used to distribute power to different feeders or downstream distribution cabinets.

  2. Function:

    • Power Distribution: Distributes power to different loads or feeders through internal devices such as circuit breakers and isolating switches.
    • Protection and Control: Includes protective devices such as circuit breakers and relays to protect the power system from faults.
    • Monitoring and Measurement: Equipped with instruments and indicators to display key parameters such as current and voltage.

  3. Internal Structure:

    • Circuit Breaker: Used to cut off current under normal and fault conditions.
    • Isolating Switch: Used to safely disconnect equipment from the grid during maintenance.
    • Current Transformer (CT)andVoltage Transformer (VT): Used to measure current and voltage through cables.
    • Grounding Switch: Used to safely ground high-voltage equipment before maintenance or inspection.

Summary

  • Location: The high-voltage incoming cabinet is located at the entrance of the power system, while the high-voltage outgoing cabinet is located after the high-voltage incoming cabinet, used for distributing power to different loads or feeders.
  • Function: The high-voltage incoming cabinet is mainly used for receiving power and protecting the power system, while the high-voltage outgoing cabinet is mainly used for distributing power to different loads, also having protective functions.
  • Internal Structure: Both contain similar protective and control devices, such as circuit breakers, isolating switches, current transformers, etc., but the high-voltage outgoing cabinet usually also includes a grounding switch.

Application Scenarios

  • High-Voltage Incoming Cabinet: Typically used to receive electricity from high-voltage transmission lines and serves as the entry point for the entire power system.
  • High-Voltage Outgoing Cabinet: Used to distribute electricity received from the high-voltage incoming cabinet to different loads or feeders, such as supplying power to distribution cabinets inside buildings.

Precautions

Although there are many structural similarities between high-voltage incoming cabinets and outgoing cabinets, there may be differences in specific application scenarios and configurations. Therefore, when selecting and using them, it is important to determine the most suitable configuration based on actual needs and manufacturer guidelines.
