[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of CT secondary circuit testing, and more particularly to a non-untwisting CT secondary circuit inspection instrument. Background Art

[0026] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0027] Uninterrupted CT secondary circuit tester, combined with Figure 1 As shown, it includes a housing 1, on which a liquid crystal display 2 and a soft keyboard 3 are provided. The liquid crystal display 2 is a touchable liquid crystal display for displaying test results, and the soft keyboard 3 is used to set test parameters.
[0028] A current output port 4, a current acquisition port 5 and a voltage acquisition port 6 are provided above the shell 1. The current output port 4 is used to output high-frequency alternating current. The current acquisition port 5 and the voltage acquisition port 6 are used to acquire the CT secondary side port current and port voltage. A control mechanism and a lithium battery are provided in the shell 1. The control mechanism is used to control the test of the CT secondary circuit. The lithium battery is used to store electrical energy. The output end of the lithium battery is connected to the power input end of the control mechanism. The output ends of the soft keyboard, the current acquisition port and the voltage acquisition port are respectively connected to the input end of the control mechanism. The output end of the control mechanism is respectively connected to the input end of the liquid crystal display and the current output interface. The current output port 4 is connected to the load side through a current clamp. The current acquisition port 5 and the voltage acquisition port 6 are respectively connected to the CT secondary side terminal.
[0029] The lower end of the housing 1 is provided with a charging port 7 and a power switch 8. The charging port 7 is used to charge the lithium battery and is connected to the input terminal of the lithium battery. The power switch 8 is used to control the power on and off of the tester. The output terminal of the power switch is connected to the input terminal of the control mechanism.
[0030] The structural diagram of the control mechanism is as follows Figure 2 As shown, it includes a 16-bit DAC digital-to-analog converter, a current power amplifier, a conditioning circuit, a 16-bit ADC and a CPU. The output end of the CPU is connected to the input end of the 16-bit DAC digital-to-analog converter, the output end of the 16-bit DAC digital-to-analog converter is connected to the input end of the current power amplifier, the output end of the current power amplifier is connected to the current output port 4, the current acquisition port 5 and the voltage acquisition port 6 are respectively connected to the input end of the signal conditioning circuit, the output end of the signal conditioning circuit is connected to the input end of the 16-bit ADC, and the output end of the 16-bit ADC is connected to the input end of the CPU.
[0031] The 16-bit DAC digital-to-analog converter is used to output high-frequency AC low-voltage signals. The circuit diagram of the 16-bit DAC digital-to-analog converter is as follows: Figure 3 As shown, a small AC voltage signal is provided to the current power amplifier.
[0032] The current power amplifier is used to amplify the driving signal provided by the 16-bit DAC digital-to-analog converter and output high-frequency AC current. The circuit diagram of the current power amplifier is shown in the figure. Figure 4 shown.
[0033] The conditioning circuit is used to condition the collected voltage and current signals into proportional AC small voltage signals. The CPU controls the 16-bit ADC to collect the conditioned signals. The circuit diagrams of the conditioning circuit, 16-bit ADC and CPU are shown in the following figure. Figure 5 、 Figure 6 and Figure 7 shown.
[0034] The current signal collected by the current output port 4 is converted into a proportional AC small current signal after conditioning by the conditioning circuit, and the current signal is collected by the 16-bit ADC, which is recorded as Ia. The voltage signal collected by the voltage output port 5 is converted into a proportional AC small voltage signal after conditioning by the conditioning circuit, and the voltage signal is collected by the 16-bit ADC, which is recorded as Ua. The loop impedance R = Ua / Ia, and the DC resistance of the CT secondary circuit is measured by high-frequency AC.
[0035] Theoretically, the CT secondary winding will shunt the AC current output by the tester. However, since the inductive reactance of the CT secondary winding is much larger than the loop resistance, the shunt of the test current output by the instrument is very small, and most of the test current output by the instrument flows through the secondary circuit.
[0036] The loop impedance is resistive, and the capacitance and inductance components can be ignored. Therefore, the measured AC impedance value and DC impedance value are almost the same, with a very small error.
[0037] The control mechanism also includes a serial FLASH, a Wifi chip and a battery power detection circuit. The serial FLASH and Wifi are electrically connected to the CPU respectively. The input end of the battery power detection circuit is connected to the output end of the lithium battery, and the output end of the battery circuit detection circuit is connected to the input end of the CPU.
[0038] The serial FLASH is used to store test parameters and correction coefficients. The Wifi chip is used to connect to the network and implement software upgrades. The battery power detection module is used to detect the battery power. The circuit diagrams of the serial FLASH, Wifi chip and battery power detection circuit are shown below. Figure 8 、 Figure 9 and Figure 10 shown.
[0039] The test wiring diagram of the utility model is as follows Figure 11 As shown, the current acquisition port and voltage acquisition port of the tester are connected to the secondary side terminals of the CT, and the current output port is connected to the load side through the current clamp. The current clamp outputs high-frequency AC current to the load side. The tester measures the port voltage value and the current value of the current clamp, calculates the AC impedance value of the load, and displays it on the LCD screen.
