Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of cable sheath testing technology, and in particular to a device and method for detecting circulating current voltage in a cable sheath. Background Technology
[0002] The basic structure of a power cable consists of four parts: the conductor, insulation layer, shielding layer, and protective layer. The conductor is the conductive part of the power cable, used to transmit electrical energy, and is the main component. The insulation layer electrically isolates the conductor from the ground and from conductors of different phases, ensuring energy transmission; it is an indispensable part of the power cable structure. A certain amount of induced current exists in the cable sheath, known as sheath circulating current. Simultaneously, multiple contact faults in the cable sheath due to rodent damage, aging, theft of grounding wires, and failure of grounding protectors will also increase the circulating current in the cable sheath. Increased current causes the armored metal sheath to heat up and deform, creating gaps, which may lead to partial discharge and affect the cable's main insulation. Therefore, to improve the maintenance level of operating cables, ensure the safety indicators of operating cables, and reduce the accident rate of cable lines, it is necessary to monitor the magnitude of the circulating current in the cable's metal sheath.
[0003] Currently, domestic online monitoring devices for circulating current in cable metal sheaths all use current transformers for detection. However, in the event of a short circuit, lightning strike, or other conditions, the circulating current voltage may rise instantaneously. The maximum withstand voltage of ordinary voltage transmitters / voltage transformers is about 1kV. Instantaneous high voltage may break down the voltage transmitter or even affect secondary equipment. Summary of the Invention
