Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of electrical testing, and in particular to a comprehensive tester and a test method for a secondary circuit of a current transformer. Background Art

[0002] During secondary circuit calibration, insulation, DC resistance, and polarity are verified using independent devices, each requiring individual instrument connections to the bay under test. Statistics show that when three commissioning personnel commission a single 10kV outgoing line bay, assuming the protection devices and circuit wiring are completely correct, the wiring work must be repeated at least 28 times, requiring five personnel to carry the instruments. Excessive bays significantly increases equipment outage time and the physical demands of the operators. Furthermore, experiments have shown that in noise-prone environments, the decibel level of the operator's voice during polarity verification increases, while the number of verifications that can be completed simultaneously decreases.

[0003] In the past, when testing secondary circuits, testers had to repeatedly move three pieces of testing equipment. The work steps were cumbersome and the workload was heavy, which greatly affected work efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the deficiencies of the prior art and provide a comprehensive tester for the secondary circuit of a current transformer.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by the present invention to solve the technical problem is:

[0006] A comprehensive secondary circuit tester for a current transformer comprises: a box, a test wire, and a battery box with a wireless relay module. A power supply, a polarity meter, an insulation resistance display screen, a DC resistance display screen, a function selection knob, a gear switching knob, a button, and an output terminal are installed in the box. The polarity meter is connected to the function selection knob, the function selection knob is connected to the gear switching knob, the gear switching knob is connected to the output terminal, the gear switching knob is connected to the button, the button is connected to the DC resistance display screen, the DC resistance display screen is connected to the power supply via the function selection knob, and one end of the insulation resistance display screen is connected to the power supply, and the other end is connected to the function selection knob and the gear switching knob.

[0007] Furthermore, the power supply is a 24V battery. When measuring the DC resistance or insulation resistance of the loop, it is placed in the box as a power source. When measuring the polarity of the secondary loop, it is removed and placed in a battery box with a wireless relay module to power the transformer to be measured.

[0008] Furthermore, there is a ground wire connection hole on the left side of the box.

[0009] Furthermore, the method for using the secondary circuit comprehensive tester of the current transformer is as follows: when using, connect the ground wire connection hole of the device to the ground copper busbar near the equipment, connect the test wire to the output terminal of the device and the terminal of the equipment to be tested, and turn on the power;

[0010] When measuring the DC resistance of a loop, turn the function selector knob to the DC resistance position. At this time, the DC resistance module inside the tester is turned on. Use the buttons to measure the resistance of loops AN, BN, and CN, and the readings are displayed on the DC resistance screen.

[0011] When measuring the insulation resistance of a circuit, turn the function selector knob to the insulation position. At this time, the insulation resistance module inside the tester is connected. Use the buttons to measure the insulation resistance of the circuit, and the reading is displayed on the insulation resistance display.

[0012] When verifying the polarity of the secondary circuit, turn the function selection knob to the polarity position. At this time, the tester is powered off and the internal polarity module is connected. Remove the battery in the box and put it into the battery box to power the transformer to be tested. Connect the wireless relay module to the test wire and the primary copper plate of the transformer to be tested. Use the gear switch knob to select the phase-to-phase on and off of the secondary terminal. Press the gear switch knob once at the same time. The wireless relay module is connected once and the result is displayed on the polarity table.

[0013] The advantages and positive effects of the present invention are:

[0014] When using this tester, you only need to carry one device, connect the test cable to the test terminal, and select the option to be tested. There is no need to repeatedly disassemble and modify the wiring. When selecting the secondary polarity verification of the transformer, connect the battery box with the wireless relay module in series with the transformer to be tested, and control the on and off with the phase conversion knob on the tester panel. There is no need for repeated wiring. This avoids the physical exertion caused by the tester moving the instrument back and forth and repeatedly disassembling and connecting the wires. It also avoids the noise interference caused by the polarity verification personnel calling each other when noisy operations are carried out, and at the same time reduces physical exertion. The tester power supply can also be removed and used as a polarity output current source, reducing battery consumption, low-carbon operation, and shortening equipment power outage time.
