The invention discloses a cable type fault
detector. The cable type fault
detector comprises a short-circuit
fault indicator and a zero-sequence current mutual
inductor. The short-circuit
fault indicator comprises a power-taking current mutual
inductor, a measuring current mutual
inductor, a CT (Captive Test) power supply circuit, a phase current measuring circuit, a
wireless communication module, an MCU (Microprogrammed
Control Unit) and a zero-sequence current measuring circuit, wherein the power-taking current mutual inductor is connected with the power supply end of the MCU by virtue of the CT power supply circuit; the measuring current mutual inductor is connected with an I / O (Input / Output) port of the MCU by virtue of the phase current measuring circuit, and used for transmitting a detected phase current transmitting
signal to the MCU; the zero-sequence current mutual inductor is connected with the A / D (Analog to Digital) sampling port of the MCU by virtue of the zero-sequence current measuring circuit, and used for transmitting a detected current transmitting
signal to the MCU; the serial interface of the
wireless communication module is connected with the I / O port of the MCU by virtue of an SPI (Single Program
Initiation)
bus. The cable type fault
detector disclosed by the invention adopts a structural form with a plurality of current mutual inductors to carry out short-circuit and grounding fault detection, thereby effectively improving the current measuring precision and lowering the equipment start-up current.
