Description

technical field

[0001] The invention relates to protector detection technology, in particular to an RCD detection device and detection method. Background technique

[0002] In the low-voltage power grid, when the operator touches the live part of the electrical device, a leakage current will be generated, which may easily cause personal electric shock casualties; Current, the leakage current is likely to cause a short circuit in the line, and then cause a fire. When the above two situations occur, the power supply needs to be cut off to ensure safety.

[0003] In the low-voltage power grid, installing a protector is an effective protective measure to prevent personal electric shock casualties, electrical fires and electrical equipment damage. A residual current device (Residual Current Device, RCD) is a protector that detects leakage current. The protector is installed on a circuit breaker. When the RCD detects that there is a leakage current in the low-voltage power grid,...

Embodiment Construction

[0047] In order to make the object, technical solution and advantages of the present invention clearer, the present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described here are only used to explain the present invention, not to limit the present invention.

[0048] The inventor found in the process of invention that the detection of the differential current transformer, signal processing unit and tripping device inside the RCD needs to rely on manual detection, and each time the RCD is detected, the connection between the RCD and the power grid needs to be cut off. Therefore, the current Some RCD detection intervals are relatively long, and each detection will affect the work of the load. In view of this situation, the inventor put forward an innovative idea after analysis and experiments. When detecting the internal circuit of the RCD, keep the connec...
