Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of transformer substation maintenance, and in particular to a CT polarity testing method for preventing height-risk. Background Art

[0002] During substation CT maintenance, polarity testing requires connecting test lines to the P1 and P2 terminals and applying current signals. The height of the CT is generally 3-4 meters, and climbing is required to connect the P1 and P2 terminals for testing. Secondly, applying large current signals to the P1 and P2 terminals increases equipment cost and is inconvenient for rapid detection. Only a small current signal needs to be applied to the P1 and P2 terminals. A dozen milliamperes of current can be collected at the S1 and S2 terminals for calculation to determine the working condition of the CT polarity. When testing the CT polarity in the substation, it is necessary to climb up to the 4-meter-high CT and connect the P1 and P2 test lines. After the test is completed, it is necessary to climb up and remove the test lines. The test operation carries the risk of climbing. Secondly, traditional CT polarity testers mostly use large current generators, which are large in size and inconvenient for online use. At the same time, a small current is induced at the S1 and S2 terminals, and there is also the risk of live work during the test operation. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The specific test method is: by manipulating the touch display module, in terms of the test principle, the large current signal test method is changed to a small current pulse signal test method. The current signal generating circuit produces a group of small current pulse signals to the P1 and P2 terminals of the CT polarity tester. The S1 and S2 terminals of the CT polarity tester will sense a group of small current pulses. The pulse signals sensed by the S1 and S2 terminals are sent to the MCU. There will be a millisecond time difference. The pulse signals sensed by the S1 and S2 terminals are orthogonally encoded and input to the P1 terminal. When the pulse signal at the S1 terminal is fast, it is judged as polarity. When the pulse signal at the S2 terminal is fast, it can be judged as reverse polarity.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0017] 1. In this anti-height risk CT polarity test method, a current pulse signal less than 1A is used to test the CY polarity. A pulse current signal is input at the P1 terminal of the CT. S1 and S2 will obtain a pulse current signal output with millisecond-level speed characteristics. The CT polarity is determined by the front and back current pulse signals. In terms of test principle, the large current signal test method is changed to a small current pulse signal test method. The current signal generating circuit produces a group of small current pulse signals to the P1 and P2 terminals of the CT. The S1 and S2 terminals of the CT will sense a group of small current pulses. The pulse signals sensed by the S1 and S2 terminals are sent to the MCU with a millisecond-level time difference.

The P1 and P2 test rods are designed as four-section telescopic self-locking wooden rods with an insulation level of 10-750kV. They use a wide range of double-tongue spring locks or hanging wire heads, which can quickly connect the P1 and P2 output wires of φ2-4mm CTs. The CT polarity tester is small in size and easy to carry and use. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
