Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of surge arrester technology, and in particular to a surge arrester moisture simulation device, a moisture detection platform, and a moisture detection method. Background Technology
[0002] During train operation, the surge arresters of high-speed trains are subject to frequent vibrations, severe weather conditions such as rain and snow, operational overvoltages, and lightning impulse overvoltages. Under the combined effects of electric heating, vibration, and humidity, the surge arresters may become damp, which can lead to an increase in the resistive leakage current flowing through the on-board surge arresters, aggravated power loss, and cause the temperature of the zinc oxide varistor of the on-board surge arresters to rise or even thermal collapse, ultimately resulting in an explosion accident, thus affecting the safe operation of the train.
[0003] Currently, due to the sealed nature of surge arresters in high-speed trains and the slow process of moisture absorption, there are few methods for simulating moisture absorption. Furthermore, the process of moisture-induced faults within surge arresters is complex and cannot be diagnosed or definitively concluded using a single detection method. Conventional moisture-induced fault assessment criteria are also lenient and insensitive to changes in key parameters. Therefore, improving the accuracy of moisture detection for surge arresters has become a significant technical challenge. Summary of the Invention

[0049] First, the applicable scenarios for this application will be introduced. This application can be applied to the field of surge arrester technology.
[0050] Research has revealed that, currently, due to the sealed nature of surge arresters in high-speed trains and the slow process of moisture absorption, there are few methods available for simulating moisture absorption. Furthermore, the process of moisture-induced faults within surge arresters is complex and cannot be diagnosed or definitively concluded using a single detection method. Conventional moisture-induced fault assessment criteria are also lenient and insensitive to changes in key parameters. Therefore, improving the accuracy of moisture detection for surge arresters has become a significant technical challenge.
[0051] Based on this, the embodiments of this application provide a surge arrester moisture simulation device, a moisture detection platform, and a moisture detection method. The surge arrester moisture simulation device can realistically simulate the moisture of the surge arrester, which can greatly improve the speed and efficiency of simulating the moisture of the surge arrester. The moisture detection platform can effectively diagnose whether the surge arrester is internally damp, thus improving the accuracy of surge arrester moisture fault detection.
[0052] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is one of the structural schematic diagrams of a surge arrester moisture simulation device provided in an embodiment of this application. For example... Figure 1 As shown in the figure, the surge arrester moisture simulation device 100 provided in this application embodiment includes an air pump 110, an epoxy cylinder 120, multiple valve plates 130 of the surge arrester, and an ultrasonic humidifier 140.
[0053] Specifically, multiple valve plates 130 are installed inside the epoxy cylinder 120. At least one outlet valve is provided on one side of the epoxy cylinder 120, and at least one inlet valve is provided on the other side of the epoxy cylinder 120. The ultrasonic humidifier 140 is connected to the inlet valve through a pipe, and the air pump 110 is connected to the outlet valve through a pipe. The simulated moisture absorption of the multiple valve plates 130 is achieved by controlling the opening and closing of the inlet valve and the outlet valve.
[0054] Here, the valve plate refers to the valve plate removed after the surge arrester is disassembled; there may be multiple valve plates.
[0055] In one example, the epoxy cylinder 120 can be a cylinder with an outer diameter of 60mm, an inner diameter of 58mm, a height of 350mm, and a top cover diameter of 1mm. A first inlet valve (3mm from the top of the epoxy cylinder 120), a second inlet valve (170mm from the top of the epoxy cylinder 120), and a third inlet valve (3mm from the bottom of the epoxy cylinder 120) are installed on the right side of the epoxy cylinder 120. The three inlets of these three inlet valves are all 30mm in diameter. The inlet valves control the entry of moisture. The system is closed. Parameters are set via the ultrasonic humidifier 140 to control the humidity inside the simulated surge arrester. A first outlet valve (3mm from the top of the epoxy cylinder 120), a second outlet valve (170mm from the top of the epoxy cylinder 120), and a third outlet valve (3mm from the bottom of the epoxy cylinder 120) are located on the left side of the epoxy cylinder 120. The outlet diameter of each of the three valves is 20mm. The air output is controlled by the air pump 110, achieving cyclic control. The inlet and outlet settings ensure uniform internal humidity.
[0056] For further information, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 2 , Figure 2This is a second schematic diagram of the structure of a surge arrester moisture simulation device 100 provided in an embodiment of this application. (See attached diagram.) Figure 2 As shown, the moisture simulation device also includes at least one removable partition 150, which is installed near the valve plate 130 at a preset position to simulate moisture on the valve plate 130 at different positions.
[0057] Here, the valve plate 130 in the preset position can be the third valve plate 130 or the eighth valve plate 130.
[0058] The removable partition 150 can be made of epoxy resin, with a thickness of 2mm and a bottom diameter of 62mm, to simulate moisture in different locations.
[0059] Here, the moisture absorption process of the multiple valve plates 130 of the surge arrester simulated by the surge arrester moisture simulation device 100 is as follows:
[0060] (1) Simulate overall dampness:
[0061] Without installing the removable partition 150, the inlet and outlet valves are opened, and the parameters are set through the ultrasonic humidifier 140 to control the internal humidity of the valve plate 130 of the simulated lightning arrester. The air output is controlled by the air pump 110 to achieve cyclic control. The inlet and outlet settings can make the internal humidity uniform.
[0062] (2) Simulate moisture in different locations:
[0063] The surge arrester's moisture simulation device has over 100 openings, with different air inlets representing different moisture-prone areas: areas susceptible to moisture include: the release port (with a central opening); the top of the high-pressure side (opening to the top); and the low-pressure side (opening to the bottom). Valve plates 130 are numbered, with those closer to the high-pressure side designated as number 1 and those closer to the low-pressure side designated as number 12. In actual engineering: if moisture enters from the high-pressure side, valve plates 130 (1-3) are severely damp; if moisture enters from the release port, valve plates 130 (4-8) are severely damp; and if moisture enters from the low-pressure side, valve plates 130 (9-12) are relatively severely damp. This simulation of moisture absorption in different areas is achieved by installing removable partitions under the third and eighth valve plates 130.
[0064] Common methods for simulating moisture points include:
[0065] ① Simulate high-pressure end moisture: Inlet valve No. 1 is connected to ultrasonic humidifier 140 through a pipe with an air inlet valve, and outlet valve No. 1 is connected to air pump 110 through a pipe with an air outlet valve.
[0066] ② Simulate moisture at the vent: Inlet valve No. 2 is connected to ultrasonic humidifier 140 through a pipe with an air inlet valve, and outlet valve No. 2 is connected to air pump 110 through a pipe with an air outlet valve.
[0067] ③ Simulate low-pressure end moisture: Inlet valve No. 3 is connected to ultrasonic humidifier 140 through a pipe with an air inlet valve, and outlet valve No. 2 is connected to air pump 110 through a pipe with an air outlet valve.
[0068] This application provides a moisture simulation device 100 for surge arresters. The device includes an air pump 110, an epoxy cylinder 120, multiple valve plates 130 of the surge arrester, and an ultrasonic humidifier 140. The multiple valve plates 130 are installed inside the epoxy cylinder 120. At least one outlet valve is provided on one side of the epoxy cylinder 120, and at least one inlet valve is provided on the other side. The ultrasonic humidifier 140 is connected to the inlet valve via a pipe, and the air pump 110 is connected to the outlet valve via a pipe. Simulated moisture absorption of the multiple valve plates 130 is achieved by controlling the opening and closing of the inlet and outlet valves. This device can realistically simulate moisture defects in surge arresters and perform corresponding performance tests. It can significantly improve the speed and efficiency of simulated moisture absorption in surge arresters.

[0071] In a specific embodiment, a DC electrical measurement module 320 is used to perform DC measurements on the surge arrester 310 to obtain the target DC voltage, target leakage current, and target nonlinear coefficient. An AC electrical measurement module is used to perform AC measurements on the surge arrester 310 to obtain the target total current and target resistive current. Using the target DC voltage, the target leakage current, the target nonlinear coefficient, the target total current, and the target resistive current, it can be determined whether the surge arrester under test is damp. If dampness is determined, the dampness level of the surge arrester can also be determined.

[0073] Please see Figure 4 , Figure 4 This application provides a flowchart of a method for detecting moisture in a surge arrester, as illustrated in an embodiment. Figure 4 As shown, the moisture detection method includes:
[0074] S401: Obtain the surge arrester to be tested.
[0075] In this step, the surge arrester to be tested is obtained.
[0076] Here, the surge arrester to be tested can be a surge arrester that has been subjected to moisture simulation by a surge arrester moisture simulation device.
[0077] Among them, the surge arrester can be the surge arrester for the high-speed train.
[0078] S402: Perform DC electrical measurements on the surge arrester under test to determine the target DC voltage, target leakage current, and target nonlinear coefficient of the surge arrester under test. The DC electrical measurements include DC voltage detection, leakage current detection, and VI curve testing on the surge arrester under test.
[0079] In this step, DC electrical measurements are performed on the surge arrester under test to determine the target DC voltage, target leakage current, and target nonlinear coefficient of the surge arrester under test.
[0080] Here, DC electrical measurements refer to DC voltage detection, leakage current detection, and VI curve testing of the surge arrester under test.
[0081] Among them, leakage current detection is a leakage current test at 0.75 times the DC voltage.
[0082] For example, if the DC voltage detection is a DC voltage detection at 1 mA, then the leakage current detection is a leakage current detection at 0.75 times the DC voltage.
[0083] The VI curve is plotted using the vertical axis to represent the DC voltage U and the horizontal axis to represent the leakage current I under the DC voltage. The DC voltage applied to the surge arrester is gradually increased, and then the corresponding leakage current value of the surge arrester is measured. The curve is plotted based on experimental data.
[0084] S403: Perform AC electrical measurements on the surge arrester under test to determine the target total current and target resistive current of the surge arrester under test, wherein the AC electrical measurements are to perform total current detection and resistive current detection on the surge arrester under test under continuous operating voltage.
[0085] In this step, AC electrical measurements are performed on the surge arrester under test to determine the target total current and the target resistive current of the surge arrester under test.
[0086] The AC electrical measurement involves performing full current detection and resistive current detection on the surge arrester under continuous operating voltage.
[0087] S404: Based on the target DC voltage, the target leakage current, the target nonlinear coefficient, the target total current, and the target resistive current, determine whether the surge arrester under test is damp.
[0088] In this step, the surge arrester under test is determined to be damp based on the target DC voltage, target leakage current, target nonlinear coefficient, target total current, and target resistive current.
[0089] In one possible implementation, determining whether the surge arrester under test is damp based on the target DC voltage, the target leakage current, the target nonlinear coefficient, the target total current, and the target resistive current includes:
[0090] A: Detect whether the first rate of change between the target DC voltage and the standard DC voltage of the normal surge arrester is greater than the first preset voltage rate of change; whether the second rate of change between the target leakage current and the standard leakage current of the normal surge arrester is greater than the first preset leakage current rate of change; whether the third rate of change between the target nonlinear coefficient and the standard nonlinear coefficient of the normal surge arrester is greater than the first preset nonlinear coefficient rate of change; whether the target total current is greater than the standard total current of the normal surge arrester; and whether the resistive current is greater than the standard resistive current of the normal surge arrester.
[0091] Here, the detection measures whether the first rate of change between the target DC voltage and the standard DC voltage of the normal surge arrester is greater than the first preset rate of change of voltage; whether the second rate of change between the target leakage current and the standard leakage current of the normal surge arrester is greater than the first preset rate of change of leakage current; whether the third rate of change between the target nonlinear coefficient and the standard nonlinear coefficient of the normal surge arrester is greater than the first preset rate of change of nonlinear coefficient; whether the target total current is greater than the standard total current of the normal surge arrester; and whether the resistive current is greater than the standard resistive current of the normal surge arrester.
[0092] Here, the first preset voltage change rate, the first preset leakage current change rate, and the first preset nonlinear coefficient change rate are all set based on expert experience. They can be 5%, the first preset leakage current change rate can be set to 100%, the first preset nonlinear coefficient change rate can be 25%, the standard full current can be 0.5mA, and the standard resistive current can be 0.2mA.
[0093] B: If both are true, then the surge arrester under test is damp.
[0094] C: If at least one is no, then the surge arrester under test is not damp.
[0095] If all of them are true, then the surge arrester under test is damp; if at least one is false, then the surge arrester under test is normal and not damp.
[0096] In a specific embodiment, DC electrical measurements and AC electrical measurements are performed first, and the obtained data is analyzed to determine whether the following conditions are met: target DC voltage U 1mAThe following conditions must be met for the surge arrester to be in normal condition: a significant decrease (more than 5%) in the target leakage current I1 (more than twice its own value or greater than 40 μA), a significant increase in the target nonlinear coefficient B (more than 25%), a significant increase in the target total current Ix under continuous operating voltage (greater than 0.5 mA), and a significant increase in the target resistive current (greater than 0.2 mA or a rate of change exceeding 30%). If these conditions are not met, the surge arrester is considered to be in normal condition. If the above conditions are met, the surge arrester is determined to have experienced a moisture-induced fault.
[0097] In one possible implementation, determining whether the surge arrester under test is damp based on the target DC voltage, the target leakage current, the target nonlinear coefficient, the target total current, and the target resistive current includes:
[0098] If it is determined that the surge arrester under test is damp, the degree of dampness of the surge arrester under test is determined according to the first rate of change, the second rate of change, and the third rate of change.
[0099] Here, if it is determined that the surge arrester under test is damp, the degree of dampness of the surge arrester under test is determined according to the first rate of change, the second rate of change, and the third rate of change.
[0100] Here, the higher the moisture level, the more severe the moisture damage.
[0101] In one possible implementation, the degree of moisture absorption of the surge arrester under test is determined to be Level 1 moisture absorption through the following steps:
[0102] a: Detect whether the first rate of change is greater than the second preset voltage rate of change, whether the second rate of change is greater than the second preset leakage current rate of change, and whether the third rate of change is greater than the second preset nonlinear coefficient rate of change.
[0103] Here, it is detected whether the first rate of change is greater than the second preset voltage rate of change, whether the second rate of change is greater than the second preset leakage current rate of change, and whether the third rate of change is greater than the second preset nonlinear coefficient rate of change.
[0104] b: If neither is true, then the moisture level of the surge arrester under test is Level 1 moisture.
[0105] If neither of these conditions is met, then the moisture level of the surge arrester to be tested is classified as Level 1 moisture.
[0106] Among them, the second preset voltage change rate is greater than the first preset voltage change rate, the second preset leakage current change rate is greater than the first preset leakage current change rate, and the second preset nonlinear coefficient change rate is greater than the first preset nonlinear coefficient change rate.
[0107] Here, if the first preset voltage change rate is 5%, then the second preset voltage change rate can be 15%.
[0108] In one possible implementation, the degree of moisture absorption of the surge arrester under test is determined to be either level two or level three through the following steps:
[0109] i: Detect whether the first rate of change is greater than the third preset voltage rate of change, whether the second rate of change is greater than the third preset leakage current rate of change, and whether the third rate of change is greater than the third preset nonlinear coefficient rate of change.
[0110] Here, it is detected whether the first rate of change is greater than the third preset voltage rate of change, whether the second rate of change is greater than the third preset leakage current rate of change, and whether the third rate of change is greater than the third preset nonlinear coefficient rate of change.
[0111] ii: If both are negative, the moisture level of the surge arrester under test is level two; if both are positive, the moisture level of the surge arrester under test is level three.
[0112] If both are negative, the moisture level of the surge arrester under test is level two; if both are positive, the moisture level of the surge arrester under test is level three.
[0113] Wherein, the third preset voltage change rate is greater than the second preset voltage change rate, the third preset leakage current change rate is greater than the second preset leakage current change rate, and the third preset nonlinear coefficient change rate is greater than the second preset nonlinear coefficient change rate.
[0114] In a specific embodiment, a moisture fault is determined in the surge arrester. Then, the degree of moisture damage is assessed based on a first rate of change, a second rate of change, and a third rate of change. The following judgments are made: whether the first rate of change is greater than or exceeds a second preset voltage rate of change (15%), whether the second rate of change is greater than a second preset leakage current rate of change, and whether the third rate of change exceeds a second preset nonlinear coefficient rate of change (100%). If not, the surge arrester is determined to have experienced Level 1 moisture damage. If so, the following judgments are made: whether the first rate of change is greater than or exceeds a third preset voltage rate of change (25%), whether the second rate of change is greater than a third preset leakage current rate of change, and whether the third rate of change exceeds a third preset nonlinear coefficient rate of change (200%). If not, the surge arrester is determined to have experienced Level 2 moisture damage. If so, the surge arrester is determined to have experienced Level 3 moisture damage.
[0115] For further details, please refer to Figure 5 , Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of the VI curve test results provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 5As shown, after the surge vessel becomes damp, the leakage current increases significantly. Under normal conditions, when the applied DC voltage exceeds 30kV, the leakage current can reach approximately 1μA. When the applied DC voltage exceeds 50kV, the leakage current increases significantly with the voltage, exhibiting very obvious nonlinear characteristics. After becoming damp, a leakage current of 1μA appears at approximately 10kV. When the voltage exceeds 20kV, the leakage current consists of two parts: the leakage current of the valve plate body and the leakage current of the cylinder wall. At lower voltages, the leakage current on the cylinder surface dominates, while at 60kV, the leakage current of the valve plate body dominates, and the nonlinear characteristic coefficient of the curve increases compared to the normal condition.
[0116] Here, the nonlinear fitting results of the VI curve are as follows:
[0117] Table 1 Nonlinear coefficients of faults with different degrees of moisture damage
[0118] Moisture content of surge arresters B (Target Nonlinear Coefficient) Dry surge arrester -0.2233 Level 1 dampness -0.01967 Secondary dampness 0.1251 Level 3 dampness 0.258
[0119] As shown in Table 1, the nonlinear coefficient increases after being damp. Compared with normal dry conditions, the change rate of the nonlinear coefficient of the VI curve of the lightly damp surge arrester is 91.2%. Compared with normal dry conditions, the change rate of the nonlinear coefficient of the VI curve of the moderately damp surge arrester is 156.0%. Compared with normal dry conditions, the change rate of the nonlinear coefficient of the VI curve of the heavy surge arrester is 215.5%.
[0120] Here, the DC voltage detection results are as follows:
[0121] Even with Level 1 moisture absorption, the target DC voltage is only 55.2kV, far below the normal requirement of 61.5kV and also below the regulation requirement of 58kV, a decrease of 12.2%. Under Level 2 and Level 3 moisture absorption conditions, the target DC voltage will decrease significantly further, by 22.6% and 29.6% respectively. In other words, when the surge arrester experiences overall moisture absorption, the target DC voltage can effectively detect the moisture condition.
[0122] Here, the leakage current detection results are as follows:
[0123] A normal surge arrester has a leakage current of only about 7 μA at 0.75 times the DC voltage. After becoming damp, the leakage current increases significantly, reaching approximately 47 μA even under level one dampness conditions. The current shows a significant increasing trend with increasing severity of dampness. Therefore, the leakage current at 0.75 times the DC voltage can be used as an important criterion for determining whether a surge arrester is damp.
[0124] Here are the test results for the AC experiment:
[0125] With increasing humidity, the total current tends to increase under the same current conditions. However, under slightly damp conditions, the change in current is not particularly significant compared to dry conditions. Under moderately damp conditions, not only does the total current increase, but its waveform also differs considerably from that under dry conditions. The resistive current values are analyzed here, as shown in Tables 2 and 3.
[0126] Table 2. Values of current characteristic quantities under dry conditions.
[0127] RMS voltage (kV) Target resistive current (mA) 27.50 0.05 34 0.07 42 0.13
[0128] Table 3. Values of current characteristic quantities under moisture conditions.
[0129]
[0130]
[0131] As shown in Tables 2 and 3, the target resistive current increases significantly under damp conditions compared to dry conditions. At effective voltage values of 27.5kV, 34kV, and 42kV, the target resistive current under damp conditions increases by 1020%, 881.4%, and 846.2% respectively compared to the dry condition, all approximately ten times their original value.
[0132] 1. Determine if the problem is caused by moisture:
[0133] When the target leakage current, target total current, and target resistive current all show a significant increase, and the target DC voltage shows a significant decrease, that is, when the target leakage current increases to more than 30μA, the target resistive current increases to more than 120%, and the target DC voltage decreases by more than 50%, it can be determined that the surge arrester has a moisture defect.
[0134] II. Determining the degree of moisture absorption:
[0135] Compared to normal dry conditions, the target nonlinear coefficient change rate of the VI curve of the moisture-damped surge arrester is 91.2%. Compared to normal dry conditions, the target nonlinear coefficient change rate of the VI curve of the secondary moisture-damped surge arrester is 156.0%. Compared to normal dry conditions, the target nonlinear coefficient change rate of the VI curve of the tertiary moisture-damped surge arrester is 215.5%.
[0136] The degree of moisture absorption of a surge arrester can be determined by using the nonlinear coefficient. When the rate of change exceeds 50% but is less than 100%, it can be determined as Class I moisture absorption; when the rate of change exceeds 100% but is less than 200%, it can be determined as Class II moisture absorption; and when the rate of change exceeds 200%, it can be determined as Class III moisture absorption.
[0137] In the first level of moisture absorption, the target DC voltage is only 55.2kV, far below the normal requirement of 61.5kV and also below the regulation requirement of 58kV, a decrease of 12.2%. In the second and third levels of moisture absorption, the target DC voltage will decrease even more significantly, by 22.6% and 29.6% respectively. That is to say, when the surge arrester shows signs of overall moisture absorption, the target DC voltage can effectively detect the moisture absorption situation.
[0138] If the target DC voltage is less than 58kV and decreases by less than 10% (4.83%) compared to 58kV, it can be determined as Level 1 moisture saturation; if the target DC voltage is less than 58kV and decreases by more than 10% but less than 20% (16.03%) compared to 58kV, it can be determined as Level 2 moisture saturation; if the target DC voltage is less than 58kV and decreases by more than 20% (23.6%) compared to 58kV, it can be determined as Level 3 moisture saturation.
[0139] If the target leakage current is less than 30μA (7μA), the surge arrester is in a dry state; if the target leakage current is greater than 40μA but less than 60μA (47μA), the surge arrester is in a first-level moisture state; if the target leakage current is greater than 60μA but less than 100μA (80μA), the surge arrester is in a second-level moisture state; if the target leakage current is greater than 100μA (130μA), the surge arrester is in a third-level moisture state.
[0140] The condition (moisture level) of the surge arrester is shown in the table below:
