[0034] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work fall within the scope of protection of the present application.
[0035] The transformer testing system provided in the present application can be applied to test the reliability and stability of a transformer.
[0036] Next, the transformer testing system of the present application will be described in detail. Figure 1 The transformer testing system of the present application will be described in detail.
[0037] Referring to Figure 1 It can be found that the transformer testing system of the present application can be composed of a sine wave generator, a micro control unit (MCU), a Fourier transform unit and a high-frequency current acquisition module.
[0038] The sine wave generator can generate a sine wave under the control of the MCU by using a natural area algorithm. The input of the transformer is the sine wave generated by the sine wave generator.
[0039] Specifically, the natural area algorithm is an important theoretical basis of PWM control technology, that is, in sampling control, narrow pulses with equal impulse and different shapes are applied to the same element with inertia, and their effects are basically the same. The impulse refers to the area of the narrow pulse, and the basically same effect refers to the basically same output response waveform of the element. The greater the PWM pulse area, the higher the output voltage after conversion. As shown in Figure 2 The sine half wave can be regarded as a waveform composed of N pulse sequences connected to each other. The pulse width of each pulse sequence is equal to N, but the amplitude is not equal, and the top of the pulse is not a horizontal straight line, but a curve that changes according to the sine law. If these pulse sequences are replaced by the same number of rectangular pulses with equal amplitude and unequal width, the midpoint of the rectangular pulse is coincided with the midpoint of the corresponding sine wave part, and the area of the rectangular pulse is equal to the area of the corresponding sine wave part, then the rectangular pulse sequence is obtained, which is the PWM waveform obtained according to the natural area algorithm.
[0040] Thus, the area of the PWM waveform output by the MCU can be controlled to vary according to a sine rule, and the output after conversion and filtering is a standard sine wave voltage, the amplitude of the sine wave voltage being controlled by the duty cycle of the PWM signal output by the MCU. The frequency of the sine wave voltage is controlled by the variation period of the PWM signal output by the MCU. That is, the voltage amplitude and frequency of the sine wave are precisely controlled by the MCU.
[0041] The sine wave generator can be used to generate a sine wave meeting the test requirements according to the duty cycle and variation period of the PWM waveform output by the MCU, and input the sine wave into the transformer to be tested, so that the transformer outputs a secondary voltage waveform signal and a high-frequency discharge current signal.
[0042] The voltage amplitude of the sine wave generated by the sine wave generator ranges from 0V to 500V, and the frequency ranges from 40Hz to 60Hz.
[0043] After the sine wave is input into the transformer, the transformer outputs a secondary voltage waveform signal.
[0044] The Fourier transform unit can perform fast Fourier transform on the secondary voltage waveform signal output by the transformer to obtain a frequency domain signal.
[0045] The secondary voltage waveform signal can be obtained by a voltage sensor PT installed on the secondary side of the transformer, and the PT can transmit the obtained secondary voltage waveform signal to the Fourier transform unit.
[0046] The frequency domain signal can indicate each frequency domain component of the secondary voltage waveform signal, and once flashover occurs on the secondary side of the transformer, there will be a high-frequency component in the frequency domain signal in addition to the fundamental wave, such as Figure 3 .
[0047] Thus, the MCU can be used to analyze whether there is a high-frequency component in the frequency domain signal output by the Fourier transform unit, that is, whether different frequency signal components are superimposed in the frequency domain signal. When the MCU detects a high-frequency component, it indicates that flashover has occurred on the secondary side of the transformer.
[0048] In addition, after the sine wave is input into the transformer, the transformer can also output a high-frequency discharge current signal.
[0049] The high-frequency current acquisition module can be used to perform analog amplification and A / D conversion on the high-frequency discharge current signal to obtain a detection signal.
[0050] The detection signal can indicate whether there is a defect in the internal insulation of the transformer.
[0051] If there is an insulation defect inside the transformer, under the excitation of the sine wave, partial discharge will occur in the insulation defect area, and the partial discharge will cause the detection signal to have a large fluctuation, that is, there is a pulse such as Figure 4 As shown, if there is no insulation defect inside the transformer, the waveform of the detection signal is almost a straight line, and only a small amplitude noise signal exists, as shown in Figure 5 .
[0052] Therefore, the MCU can analyze whether there is a large fluctuation in the detection signal, that is, whether the detection signal indicates that the transformer has partial discharge. When there is a large fluctuation in the detection signal, that is, the detection signal indicates that the transformer has partial discharge, it indicates that the transformer has an insulation defect, and the insulation index is unqualified.
[0053] The whole transformer test system adopts an ARM controller and is combined with a 24BIT ADC to realize precise closed-loop measurement and control functions.
[0054] As can be seen from the above technical solution, in the present application, the sine wave input to the transformer can be controlled by the MCU, so that the test process can be more in line with the actual use process. At the same time, the present application can judge whether the transformer secondary exists flashover and judge whether the transformer inside exists insulation defect, more comprehensively detects each performance index of the transformer, makes the detection result of the present application more reliable, can verify the reliability and stability of the transformer from multiple angles, so as to improve the accuracy of the present application. And the transformer test system of the present application adopts closed-loop control, the measurement process is automated, which is superior to the traditional control box and harmonic voltmeter.
[0055] In some embodiments of the present application, the transformer test system of the present application further comprises a power regulation and output unit.
[0056] Referring to Figure 6 It can be found that the power regulation and output unit of the present application is connected with the sine wave generator, the sine wave generator is connected with the MCU, the output end of the high-frequency current acquisition module is connected with the MCU, and the output end of the Fourier transform unit is connected with the MCU.
[0057] The power regulation and output unit can be used to control the maximum output power of the sine wave output by the sine wave generator to prevent overload damage.
[0058] As can be seen from the above technical solution, the power regulation and output unit capable of preventing overload is added in the present application, which further better tests the transformer and improves the usable times of the transformer test system of the present application, further saving the economic expenditure of the transformer test.

[0066] In some embodiments of the present application, the high-frequency current acquisition module can further include an analog amplification unit.

[0068] The analog amplification unit can be a programmable gain amplifier THS7001 with an independent preamplifier stage.
[0069] The MCU can control the gain of the THS7001 according to the amplitude of the signal output by the HFCT. The gain of the THS7001 can be changed between -22dB and +20dB by configuring the 3-bit gain control pin of the THS7001, so that the analog local amplification signal reaches the optimal linear range of the A / D converter of the single-chip microcomputer, and the highest sampling precision is achieved.
