A parallel arc fault location method and system for a low-voltage power distribution network

Abstract

The invention provides a parallel arc fault location method and system for a low-voltage power distribution network. The method includes the following steps: the monitoring node performs low-pass filtering on the voltage acquisition signal of each cycle; the voltage of each phase of the line is monitored in units of cycles , and complete the monitoring of the line voltage synchronously according to the phase voltage; in a certain cycle, it is detected that the magnitude change of a certain phase voltage exceeds the set threshold α , it is determined that the fault information is monitored, that is, it is determined that the cycle is a fault cycle; the effective value data of the phase voltage of the fault cycle is sent to the gateway device, and the gateway device will receive the effective value data of the phase voltage of the fault cycle Grouping, according to the line topology structure of the low-voltage network in the station area, find the most upstream monitoring node in the group with the smallest average value, and judge that the fault point is on the upstream line immediately adjacent to the most upstream monitoring node. The invention utilizes the difference of each distributed monitoring point affected by the arc voltage of the fault point and the power supply voltage to realize the positioning of the fault point.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of electrical engineering measurement, in particular to a parallel arc fault location method and system for a low-voltage power distribution network. Background technique [0002] Low-voltage power distribution lines are subject to many factors such as physical friction and chemical erosion, which may cause aging, wear, and poor contact of the insulation layer of the line cables, which may cause arc faults. The arc temperature generated by a current of 0.5A can be as high as 2000-3000°C, which is enough to ignite any combustibles, and when the maintenance voltage of the arc is as low as 20V, the arc can still exist continuously and stably, and it is difficult to extinguish. Therefore, the fault arc is usually caused important cause of fire. [0003] Most of the existing research on arc detection is aimed at the detection of arc presence or absence, that is, by detecting whether a fault arc occurs and by cutting off t...

Problems solved by technology

[0008] To sum up, the method of using the current mutation characteristics to realize parallel arc fault location has the problems of difficult setting of the threshold, misjudgment easily caused by load fluctuation, and high cost caused by the installation of equipment on all branch lines.

[0009] At present, there are patents that use the influence of the arc voltage at the fault point when the parallel arc occurs to its downstream line voltage to realize the parallel arc fault detection method, but this patent can only detect the existence of the parallel arc fault, and cannot solve the parallel arc fault Point positioning problem
