Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of resistivity measurement device technology, and in particular to a sample high-voltage resistivity testing device. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous increase in power grid transmission voltage levels and the development of DC transmission technology, new challenges have been posed to the design of insulation structures for transmission equipment, and higher requirements have been placed on the performance of absolute materials. Unlike AC transmission, under DC voltage, the electric field distribution within high-voltage equipment depends on the resistivity of the materials, such as the main insulation of high-voltage DC bushings and the main insulation of high-voltage cable accessories.

[0003] Traditional methods for testing the resistivity of solid insulating materials involve applying a high DC voltage to a sheet-like sample of the solid insulating material under high temperature and normal pressure using a standard three-electrode insulation resistance testing system. A galvanometer is used to measure the current flowing through the insulating material, thereby calculating the resistivity under different electric field strengths and identifying its nonlinear characteristics. This method typically requires a high DC voltage to obtain a sufficient number of data points. However, when the applied DC voltage is too high, the electric field strength is too large, or the sample size is too small, the leakage current on the surface of the tested sample increases, leading to surface creepage and even surface discharge, affecting the accuracy of the test. In severe cases, it can even burn out the testing equipment, making the test impossible. This presents significant challenges for testing the resistivity of small samples under high electric field strength. Therefore, it is necessary to research high-voltage resistivity testing technology for small samples to address the problems of surface creepage and even surface discharge that easily occur under high voltage, high field strength, and small sample size conditions, thus affecting the accuracy of the test.

[0028] The test components include: 8 small sample parts, 1 host computer, 2 electrometer, 3 DC power amplifier, and resistivity testing platform.

[0029] The small sample 8 to be tested includes an insulating cardboard 8-1 with a pre-sized opening in the middle, a small sample 8-3 of a pre-sized size, and a polyimide tape 8-2. The small sample 8-3 is placed in the opening of the insulating cardboard 8-1, and the polyimide tape 8-2 is wrapped around the periphery of the small sample 8-3 to fix the small sample 8-3 to the insulating cardboard 8-1.

[0030] The resistivity testing platform includes a resistivity testing chamber shell 5, a resistivity testing chamber 4, a high-voltage electrode 12, a measuring electrode 6, a protective electrode 7, a spring 14, a polytetrafluoroethylene sheath 9, a first epoxy resin block 16, a second epoxy resin block 13, and a non-metallic sheath 15.

[0031] The high voltage electrode 12, measuring electrode 6, protective electrode 7, spring 15, polytetrafluoroethylene sheath 9, first epoxy resin block 16, second epoxy resin block 13 and non-metallic sheath 15 are arranged inside the resistivity testing chamber 4. The top of the resistivity testing chamber 4 is provided with a first opening and a second opening. The first epoxy resin block 16 and the second epoxy resin block 13 are respectively arranged through the first opening and the second opening. The bottom of the resistivity testing chamber 4 is provided with a third opening. The high voltage electrode 12 has a T-shaped structure and its vertical end extends out of the resistivity chamber from the third opening.

[0032] The small sample to be tested is placed between the high voltage electrode 12 and the measuring electrode 6. The measuring electrode 6 and the high voltage electrode 12 work together to press the small sample 8-3 of the small sample 8 to be tested. The protective electrode 7 is set on the left and right sides of the measuring electrode 6 and works with the high voltage electrode 6 to press the insulating cardboard 8-1 of the small sample 8 to be tested.

[0033] The protective electrode 7 is connected to the top of the resistivity chamber 4 through the polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) sheath 9 and is fixed to the PTFE sheath 9 through the non-metallic sheath 15. PTFE sheaths 9 are provided inside the resistivity test chamber 4 corresponding to the upper left and upper right of the measuring electrode 6. The PTFE sheath 9 is fixed to the top of the resistivity test chamber 4 through the non-metallic sheath 15. One end of the spring 14 is fixed to the top of the measuring electrode 6, and the other end is fixed to the upper end of the corresponding PTFE sheath 9.

[0035] It should be noted that, in this embodiment of the invention, the tested small sample 8 consists of an epoxy resin small sample 8-3 with dimensions of 7mm×7mm×2mm, an insulating cardboard 8-1 with dimensions of 100mm×100mm×2mm, and polyimide tape 8-2. An opening of 7mm×7mm×2mm is cut out in the center of the insulating cardboard 8-1. The epoxy resin small sample 8-3 is placed in the center of the insulating cardboard 8-1, and the connection between the epoxy resin small sample 8-3 and the insulating cardboard 8-1 is sealed with polyimide tape 8-2 to ensure sufficient contact between the epoxy resin small sample 8-3 and the insulating cardboard 8-1 and to provide a certain degree of fixation. In practical applications, the small sample 8-3 can also be selected from other insulating materials, and its size can also be selected from other sizes; no specific limitation is made here. The small sample 8 being tested can be exactly the same size as the original design for the resistivity test. When placed in the resistivity test chamber 4, it can be ensured that it is in a horizontal position during the resistivity test. This way, the electrodes will make full contact with the small sample 8-3, reducing the error caused by the measurement of volume resistivity.

[0036] The resistivity testing chamber housing 5 can be made of stainless steel. Support feet 10 can be provided at the bottom of the resistivity testing chamber housing 5. The support feet 10 can be integrated with the resistivity testing chamber housing 5 or can be detached from the resistivity testing chamber housing 5. For easy movement and transportation, casters can also be provided at the bottom of the support feet 10.

[0037] The spring 14 ensures that the protective electrode 7 and the measuring electrode 6 make full contact with the insulating cardboard 8-1 and the small sample 8-3 of the tested small sample 8, respectively. The current flowing through them is exactly the same as the current flowing through the measuring electrode 6, which is in contact with the small sample 8-3. The protective electrode 7 makes full contact with the insulating cardboard 8-1, effectively conducting the surface current. The protective electrode 7 and the measuring electrode 6 are designed according to national standards. The outer side of the protective electrode 7 is fixed to the lead wire 11 and leads out to the resistivity insulating cavity 4 through the second epoxy resin block 14, which provides insulation. The high-voltage electrode 12 inside the resistivity cavity 4 is connected to the power amplifier 3. The measuring electrode 6 of the resistivity testing cavity 4 leads out through the first epoxy resin block 16 and connects to the electrometer 2. The electrometer 2 is a 6514 type programmable electrometer. The electrometer 2 is connected to the host computer 1 and matched with the resistivity measurement software of the host computer 1, which is a PC. The PTFE sheath 9 isolates the resistivity testing chamber shell 5 from the protective electrode, high-voltage electrode, and measuring electrode, respectively. The PTFE sheath 9, fixed to the protective electrode, high-voltage electrode, and measuring electrode, provides electrical insulation. The electrometer 2 and the DC power amplifier 3 are properly grounded. The PTFE sheath 9 connecting the protective electrode 7 and the resistivity testing chamber shell 5 can be an inverted L-shaped structure; the PTFE sheath 9 connecting the measuring electrode 6 and the resistivity testing chamber shell 5 can be a T-shaped structure; and the PTFE sheath 9 connecting the high-voltage electrode 12 and the resistivity testing chamber shell 5 can be a rectangular structure.

[0038] When using the high-voltage resistivity testing device provided in this embodiment of the invention to test the resistivity of a small sample 8-3, the small sample 8 to be tested is first placed between the high-voltage electrode 12 and the measuring electrode 6 inside the resistivity testing chamber 4. A certain pressure is applied by the spring 14 and acts for a certain period of time. Then, the DC power amplifier 3 is turned on, the voltage value is adjusted, and the resistivity measurement software in the electrometer 2 and the host computer 1 is turned on to obtain the volume resistivity detection value R of the small sample 8-3. Then, based on the thickness L of the small sample 8-3 and the effective area A of the measuring electrode 6, the resistivity is calculated according to the formula... Calculate the volume resistivity ρ of the small sample 8-3.

[0039] In one embodiment, the measuring electrode 6 is a circular electrode with a diameter of 7 mm, which is in complete contact with the surface of a small sample 8-3 measuring 7 mm × 7 mm × 2 mm. At this point, the shortest creepage distance between the upper and lower electrodes is only 2 mm above the sample height. Adding insulating cardboard 8-1 to cover the small sample 8-3 increases the shortest creepage distance between electrodes from 2 mm to 95 mm (i.e., (50 mm - 3.5 mm) × 2 + 2 mm). This creepage distance at this voltage meets the creepage distance and leakage current requirements for sample resistivity testing. The sample high-voltage resistivity testing device provided in this embodiment can withstand a 6 kV DC voltage without surface creepage, protecting the device from harmful discharges during resistivity measurement.

[0040] The sample high-voltage resistivity testing device provided in this embodiment of the invention can be used to measure the resistivity of a small sample 8-3 under different field strengths. It only requires disassembling the small sample 8-3, calculating the appropriate creepage distance along the surface, and designing a reasonable size for the insulating cardboard 8-1 for splicing. This device can meet the requirements for measuring resistivity under various high field strengths and has wide applicability.

[0041] The high-voltage resistivity testing device for samples provided by this invention comprises an insulating cardboard with a pre-cut opening in the center, a small sample of a pre-cut size, and polyimide tape. The small sample is attached to the opening of the insulating cardboard with the polyimide tape, allowing for the measurement of volume resistivity even on small samples. The insulating cardboard increases the creepage distance and reduces leakage current. The spring ensures full contact between the protective electrode and the measuring electrode and the small sample. The current flowing through the sample is exactly the current flowing through the electrode in contact with the small sample. The full contact between the protective electrode and the insulating cardboard effectively conducts surface current. Therefore, the high-voltage resistivity testing device provided by this invention offers a solution for testing the resistivity of small samples under high electric field strength. It solves the technical problem that traditional solid insulating material resistivity testing methods are prone to creepage and even surface discharge under high voltage, high field strength, and small sample size conditions, affecting the accuracy of the test.
