Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the field related to on-line monitoring devices, and particularly relates to a complete set of on-site inspection devices and on-site inspection methods for on-line monitoring devices of large oil-filled equipment such as transformers and high-voltage reactors. Background Art
[0002] Large oil-filled equipment such as transformers and high-voltage reactors are core equipment of the power system. Early defects inside the equipment during operation will gradually develop into major accidents such as breakdown discharge and even deflagration. Therefore, accurate perception of its operating state and early warning are crucial. With the rapid development of digital power grids, the types and quantities of various on-line monitoring devices installed on transformers, such as high-frequency partial discharge and ultrasonic partial discharge, are increasing day by day, jointly constructing an early warning platform for equipment defects. However, operating experience shows that the actual application effects of many monitoring devices are not good. The main reason is that after the current on-line monitoring devices are installed, only simple debugging is carried out. Due to technical problems such as complex on-site environments and lack of equivalent excitation methods, there is a lack of effective on-site inspection instruments and methods for the performance of monitoring devices, resulting in problems during the installation and debugging of monitoring devices not being discovered in time. After being put into operation, there are problems such as high defect rates, data distortion, and low operating reliability, and it is impossible to effectively support the accurate assessment of the operating state of transformers. It is urgent to overcome the on-site inspection technology for the installation and debugging performance of monitoring devices. Summary of the Invention

The excitation sensor group includes: Ultrasonic and vibration excitation sensors: Both use magnetic adsorption ceramic piezoelectric probes, which can be adsorbed on the surface of the transformer (reactor) body and are located near the ultrasonic partial discharge under test (or vibration on-line monitoring sensor) (usually at a distance of 10 cm), ensuring that the on-line monitoring device under test can sense the excitation signal.

[0023] Standard sensors for five different types of monitoring signals are connected to the inspection host through interfaces. After sensing various excitation signals on the transformer (reactor), they feedback the response signals to the inspection host. According to different signal types, the interfaces and receiving forms of the standard sensors in the standard sensor group are also different.

[0026] Embodiment 2 This embodiment provides a method for on-site inspection of an on-line monitoring device for a transformer (HV reactor). The on-site inspection process of the on-line monitoring device is as Figure 5 shown, including the following steps: Wiring configuration inspection: Arrange the excitation sensor and the standard sensor beside the sensor of the on-line monitoring device under test, so that the standard sensor and the sensor of the on-line monitoring device under test can receive the same excitation signal. The inspection wiring for different types of monitoring signals is as follows Figures 2 to 4 shown. Data transmission inspection: Output 2 - 3 excitation signals of different magnitudes, observe the response of the background monitoring data of the on-line monitoring device under test, and preliminarily judge whether the data transmission of the sensor and the monitoring channel of the on-line monitoring device under test is normal. If the monitoring channel of the on-line monitoring device under test generates significantly different response signals with the excitation signal, it is considered that the data transmission function of the monitoring channel of the on-line monitoring device under test is normal. Sensitivity inspection: Adjust the excitation signal, record the response values of the standard sensor and the sensor of the on-line monitoring device under test when the excitation signal is 0 as the background value. Slowly increase the excitation signal starting from 0. When the response indication value of the standard sensor just exceeds 2 times the background value of the standard sensor, record the indication value of the monitoring channel of the sensor of the on-line monitoring device under test as the sensitivity value. If this value reaches 1.5 times the background value of the sensor of the on-line monitoring device under test, it is considered that the sensitivity of the sensor of the on-line monitoring device under test is qualified. Dynamic range inspection: Gradually and slowly increase the excitation signal uniformly, record the response values of the monitoring channel of the on-line monitoring device under test at different inspection points, and verify whether the dynamic range of the device under test meets "sensitivity reference value + 40dB". Linearity error inspection: Based on the dynamic range reference value, calculate the linearity errors at multiple inspection points to ensure that the errors are lower than the standard threshold. Take the value of "sensitivity reference value + 40dB" as the dynamic range reference value, and carry out linearity error analysis and calculation using the inspection data corresponding to the reference points of 80%, 60%, 40%, 20% etc. of this reference value. The maximum allowable linearity error does not exceed the standard specified value.
[0027] Through on-site inspection, the problems existing in the inspected on-line monitoring device mainly include abnormal sensor excitation response (no response, abnormally small response indication value, abnormally large response indication value, poor response linear relationship), incorrect sensor background number, no spectrum map in the background, etc. The main reasons for the above problems include hardware defects of the sensor itself, poor contact caused by the installation process of the sensor, drying and failure of the coupling agent, improper background debugging (the front-end sensor number does not correspond to the background number, improper setting of the sensor gain parameter, the background spectrum map function is not enabled), background board card failure, signal communication interruption, etc.
[0028] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and not to limit them; although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that: still modifications can be made to the specific implementation manners of the present invention or equivalent replacements can be made to some technical features; without departing from the spirit of the technical solutions of the present invention, they should all be covered within the scope of the technical solutions claimed by the present invention.
