Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of performance evaluation of a full range of power cable fault detection instruments, and in particular relates to a performance evaluation device and method for a cable fault flash detector. Background Art

[0002] At present, the principles adopted by power cable fault diagnosis and ranging detection technology are mainly divided into impedance method and traveling wave method. Both have excellent performance in fault diagnosis and high measurement accuracy. Traveling wave fault location has been widely used in cable fault location and cable length measurement. Among them, single-ended A-type traveling wave fault location and double-ended D-type traveling wave fault location are more representative. With the development of technology, cable fault flash detectors based on single-ended ranging method are widely used due to their small investment, low cost, and no need for synchronous work compared to double-ended ranging method.

[0003] Figure 1 The electrical model of the cable is equivalent to a series-parallel connection of several components such as resistance, capacitance, inductance and conductance. These components are called the distributed parameters of the cable, that is, the cable is divided into several units. The principle of fault location by the traveling wave method is that when the cable is in normal condition, the impedance of the equivalent power of each unit is equal. At this time, the traveling wave can pass smoothly to the terminal during the cable transmission process. When a cable fails at a certain section, the impedance of the equivalent circuit of the section changes. Due to impedance mismatch, the traveling wave is reflected at this place, thereby locating the fault location.

[0004] Due to the large number of cable fault flash detector manufacturers, complex technical routes, and uneven performance, it is often impossible to accurately determine the type and location of cable faults during actual fault detection, which seriously affects the judgment of key cable performance indicators, the efficiency of cable fault detection, and the quality of cable status evaluation. Due to the lack of a practical method for simulating cable fault conditions, the current inspection methods and performance evaluation technologies for cable fault flash detectors mainly use physical cables. This inspection method is expensive, subject to many interference factors, and is only suitable for short-distance measurement, and cannot meet the working conditions for accuracy inspection of cable fault flash detectors. Therefore, there is an urgent need to study relevant inspection technologies and devices to guide the inspection and performance evaluation of cable fault flash detectors.

[0005] The Chinese patent with the announcement number CN101706564B discloses a standard device for a cable fault flash detector, whose core circuit includes a control module, a cable core multiplexing module, an input signal conditioning module, a signal delay feedback module, and a high-speed amplifier and drive module. The relationship between the modules is: the cable fault flash detector to be tested is connected to the cable core multiplexing module, the cable core multiplexing module, the input signal conditioning module, the control module, the signal delay feedback module, and the high-speed amplifier and drive module are connected in sequence, and the high-speed amplifier and drive module is connected to the input signal conditioning module. This standard device for a cable fault flash detector simulates the time domain reflection characteristics of a physical cable by sending a reflection pulse through a signal delay feedback module, a high-speed amplifier and a drive module. However, since the scheme has no load terminal matching design, when facing cable fault flash detectors of different brands on the market, its pulse waveform will cause waveform vibration, distortion and other phenomena due to impedance mismatch, which is not conducive to the calibration of the distance measurement function of the cable fault flash detector; at the same time, since the design can only output a unipolar pulse square wave, it cannot meet the detection requirements of the fault type identification function of the cable fault flash detector.

In one embodiment, the positive phase pulse output switch tube 13 and the reverse phase pulse output switch tube 9 are both MOSFET field effect tubes, and the control signal output end of the dual-path pulse driver 2 is connected to the control end of the positive phase pulse output switch tube 13 and the reverse phase pulse output switch tube 9, such as the gate of the MOSFET field effect tube.

[0046] The voltage U output by the DC power supply 5 0 The positive phase pulse current limiting resistor 12 is connected in series with the positive phase pulse output switch tube 13 and then grounded (one end of the positive phase pulse current limiting resistor 12 is connected to the DC power supply 5, and the other end is connected to the drain of the MOSFET field effect tube, the source of the MOSFET field effect tube is grounded, and the gate of the MOSFET field effect tube is connected to the control signal output end of the dual-path pulse driver 2), the node of the positive phase pulse current limiting resistor 12 and the positive phase pulse output switch tube 13 is connected in series through the positive phase pulse energy storage capacitor 14 and the positive phase pulse discharge resistor 15 and then grounded, and the two ends of the positive phase pulse discharge resistor 15 are connected to an input end of the pulse transformer 6 as the output end of the negative polarity pulse generating circuit.

[0047] The voltage U output by the DC power supply 5 0The inverting pulse current limiting resistor 8 is connected in series with the inverting pulse output switch tube 9 and then grounded (one end of the inverting pulse current limiting resistor 8 is connected to the DC power supply 5, and the other end is connected to the drain of the MOSFET field effect tube, the source of the MOSFET field effect tube is grounded, and the gate of the MOSFET field effect tube is connected to the control signal output end of the dual-path pulse driver 2), and the node of the inverting pulse current limiting resistor 8 and the inverting pulse output switch tube 9 is connected in series through the inverting pulse energy storage capacitor 10 and the inverting pulse discharge resistor 11 and then grounded, and the two ends of the inverting pulse discharge resistor 11 are connected to the other input end of the pulse transformer 6 as the output end of the positive polarity pulse generating circuit.

[0048] The CPLD control circuit 1 controls the output voltage of the DC power supply 5. The DC power supply 5 charges the positive phase pulse energy storage capacitor 14 and the negative phase pulse energy storage capacitor 10 through the positive phase pulse current limiting resistor 12 and the negative phase pulse current limiting resistor 8 respectively, so as to adjust the output pulse waveform amplitude.

[0049] The pulse transformer 6 includes a transformer 18, a DC blocking capacitor 16 and a terminal load resistor 17; the primary side of the transformer 18 is connected to the two signal output terminals of the dual-path strobe pulse generating circuit 3, the secondary side of the transformer 18 is connected in parallel with the terminal load resistor 17, the node of the terminal load resistor 17 and the same-name end of the secondary side of the transformer 18 is connected to one end of the DC blocking capacitor 16, and the other end of the DC blocking capacitor 16 serves as the signal output terminal of the pulse transformer 6. Since the pulse transformer 6 has the characteristics of polarity conversion and impedance matching, the fault type selection function and the standard pulse square wave output are realized.

[0050] In a specific implementation, the positive polarity pulse generating circuit or the negative polarity pulse generating circuit is selected to work according to the set fault type. For example, when the open circuit fault mode is selected, the voltage U 0 The positive phase pulse energy storage capacitor 14 is charged through the positive phase pulse current limiting resistor 12, and the pulse drive signal controls the positive phase pulse output switch tube 13 to turn on. The positive phase pulse energy storage capacitor 14 is discharged through the positive phase pulse discharge resistor 15, and a negative polarity pulse waveform is generated at both ends of the resistor. The positive phase pulse discharge resistor 15 is reversely connected to the pulse transformer 6 to generate a positive polarity pulse waveform, and finally sent to the cable fault flash detector 7 through the terminal load resistor 17 and the DC blocking capacitor 16. Similarly, when the low resistance or short circuit fault mode is selected, the reverse phase discharge resistor 11 is positively connected to the pulse transformer to generate a negative polarity pulse waveform, and finally sent to the cable fault flash detector 7 through the terminal load resistor 17 and the DC blocking capacitor 16.

[0051] According to the formula l=v*Δt / 2, it is calculated that the fault distance l is set to determine the delay time Δt required for sending the reflected pulse waveform. The CPLD control circuit 1 designs a high-precision counter to delay the sending of the reflected pulse drive waveform to one of the dual-channel pulse drivers 2 to send a pulse signal. The dual-channel pulse driver 2 drives the dual-channel selection pulse generating circuit 3 to generate a pulse signal of corresponding polarity, thereby realizing arbitrary adjustment of the fault distance.

[0052] The dual-path selection pulse generating circuit 3 sends a pulse waveform to the pulse transformer 6 for load matching. The pulse transformer 6 finally sends a reflected pulse waveform to the cable fault flash detector 7. The pulse width is consistent with the pulse waveform sent by the cable fault flash detector 7.

[0053] The embodiment of the present invention further provides a method for evaluating the performance of a cable fault flash detector, which is performed using the above-mentioned evaluation device, and the method comprises the following steps:

[0054] The pulse transformer 6 receives the incident pulse output by the cable fault flash detector 7 and sends it to the pulse width detection circuit 4;

[0055] The pulse width detection circuit 4 detects the pulse signal and generates a trigger level, and sends it to the CPLD control circuit 1;

[0057] The dual-channel strobe pulse generating circuit 3 enables the corresponding positive polarity pulse generating circuit or negative polarity pulse generating circuit to work under the control of the pulse control signal output by the dual-channel pulse driver 2, thereby generating a reflection pulse signal of corresponding polarity;

[0058] The pulse transformer 6 performs impedance matching and polarity change on the reflected pulse signal generated by the dual-path gate pulse generating circuit 3, converts it into a reflected pulse square wave signal and sends it to the cable fault flash detector 7;

[0059] The flash tester 7 detects the reflected pulse square wave signal and calculates the fault distance, compares it with the fault distance set by the cable fault flash tester performance evaluation device, and calculates the error, thereby realizing the performance evaluation of the flash tester.

[0060] Wherein, the CPLD control circuit 1 adjusts the voltage amplitude of the DC power supply 5 and outputs it to the power supply end of the positive polarity pulse generating circuit or the negative polarity pulse generating circuit in the dual-path gate pulse generating circuit 3 to adjust the waveform amplitude of the output reflected pulse;

[0061] The pulse width of the reflected pulse waveform sent by the pulse transformer 6 to the cable fault flash detector 7 is consistent with the width of the pulse waveform sent by the cable fault flash detector 7.

[0062] Figure 5 This is an actual test waveform of a performance evaluation device for a cable fault flash tester of the present invention, wherein traveling wave 1 is an incident pulse waveform generated by the flash tester, and traveling wave 2 is a reflected pulse square wave generated by the device of the present invention.
