Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of single-phase grounding fault detection, and in particular to a distributed single-phase grounding fault detection method based on a power transformer. Background Art
[0002] Fault detection is a crucial issue in power systems. Reliable and rapid fault detection ensures the safety and reliability of power systems and prevents accidents, equipment damage, and unnecessary power outages. There are four main types of faults in power systems: single-phase ground faults, phase-to-phase faults, two-phase ground faults, and three-phase ground faults. Single-phase ground faults are the most common of these faults, making research on single-phase ground fault detection crucial. The most common single-phase ground fault detection technology relies on overcurrent relays to detect faults in distribution systems. These relays track feeder currents and return a fault signal when the current exceeds a predetermined threshold. This area has been extensively researched by numerous experts. However, in RG systems (grounded via arc suppression coils), this results in very low fault currents, making the existing simple threshold method significantly limited. Furthermore, fault diagnosis requires coordinated measurement data from various components, resulting in significant process errors. The application of power transformers to accurately diagnose single-phase ground faults in RG systems has become an urgent technical challenge. Summary of the Invention
