The invention discloses a method for judging the magnetizing
inrush current of a no-load
transformer during the switching phase reclosing process of a
circuit breaker, which comprises the following steps: when over current is generated in a switching phase reclosing process of a
circuit breaker, an
equivalent circuit and a corresponding
voltage equation are established based on the switching-on
phase number and the switching-on phase current characteristic; calculating the equivalent
inductance value of each sampling time according to the
voltage and the current sampling values and taking theaverage value; comparing the average equivalent
inductance value with a threshold value. When the average equivalent
inductance value is greater than or equal to the threshold value, the condition ismagnetizing
inrush current. When the average equivalent inductance value is smaller than the threshold value, the condition is
short circuit failure. If the average equivalent inductance value is notonly one, when all of the average equivalent inductance values are larger than or equal to the threshold value, the condition is magnetizing
inrush current, otherwise, the condition is
short circuit failure. The method can accurately identify the magnetizing inrush current of the no-load
transformer during the switching phase reclosing process of the
circuit breaker, and effectively improve the fault identification accuracy rate and the reclosing success rate.
