The present invention discloses a device for preparing
overcurrent-induced short-circuit traces, and relates to the technical field of electrical fire fault
simulation and electrical
fault trace preparation. It includes an experimental circuit module, a data measurement and recording module, and a
load circuit. The experimental circuit module is used to provide an
alternating current to at least the experimental wire to simulate an
overcurrent fault; the experimental wire is used to simulate the circuit in the process of a real
overcurrent fault; the experimental wire will generate heat when an overcurrent fault occurs, and the heat will melt the
insulation layer and the sheath wire of the experimental wire to cause a
short circuit fault and form a
short circuit trace; the data measurement and recording module is used to measure and store the
voltage data and current data at the moment when the overcurrent fault of the experimental wire occurs; the
load circuit is used to perform multi-stage adjustment on the size of the
alternating current flowing through the experimental circuit module. The present invention realizes the multi-stage adjustment of the overcurrent in the experimental wire, and the preparation and recording of the
short circuit trace induced by the overcurrent fault of the experimental wire under
alternating current.
