Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of cable testing equipment, and specifically relates to an installation method for phase-to-phase connection wires of power distribution cables. Background Technology

[0002] Before leaving the factory, power distribution cables must undergo on-site AC withstand voltage testing. Therefore, to ensure the safe and stable operation of the power system, withstand voltage testing is essential to understand the insulation characteristics of cables during installation completion, condition evaluation, and maintenance. However, currently, power distribution cables require separate pressure tests on each of the three phases. This presents several problems, including the risk of electric shock, partial discharge pulse attenuation, and lengthy testing times. Reference CN112086912A describes a phase-to-phase connection method for power distribution cables in live-line working areas, but this direct connection method still presents discharge issues. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the inventors, through practice and summarization, derived the technical solution of this invention. This invention discloses a method for installing phase-to-phase connection wires in power distribution cables, including connecting cables, terminal heads, and wire clamps, specifically comprising the following steps:

[0004] Step 1: Install corresponding terminal heads at both ends of the connecting cable, and install wire clamps on the side of the terminal heads facing away from the connecting cable;

[0005] Step 2: Connect the power cable to the clamp;

[0006] Step 3: Secure the wire ends of the phase-to-phase connection wires with wire clamps, connecting the terminal head of the distribution cable to the wire end;

[0007] Step 4: Install pressure rings on the wire clamps at both ends; install pressure rods on the pressure rings, install metal plates on the bottom of the pressure rods, and set contact points A and B inside the wire clamps;

[0008] Contact point A is connected to the corresponding terminal head, and contact point B is connected to the power distribution cable;

[0009] Press the pressure rod down, causing the bottom of the pressure ring to press down, so that the bottom of the metal plate is reliably connected to contact point A and contact point B respectively. After the connection is completed, the corresponding test can be carried out.

[0010] Specifically, two sets of connecting posts are installed at the wire clamp to connect the connector to the connecting posts, achieving closure. Secondly, the top extends into the inner wall of the wire clamp, and a movable telescopic rod is installed at the upper end. A metal plate is installed at the bottom of the telescopic rod, which can move downwards to connect between contact point A and contact point B, thus realizing the transmission of the circuit.

[0011] In a further technical solution, in step four, the pressure ring includes a telescopic rod, the top of which is fitted with an insulating sleeve, and both ends of the pressure rod are respectively connected to end clamps.

[0012] In a further technical solution, the wire clamp includes a connecting cavity, which is L-shaped. A connecting post one and a connecting post two are respectively provided in the connecting cavity. The connecting post one is connected to the wire end of the terminal head, and the connecting post two is connected to the wire end of the power distribution cable.

[0013] All the clamps are C-shaped. The top of the first connecting post extends to the inner wall of the clamp as contact point A, and the top of the second connecting post extends to the upper inner wall of the clamp as contact point B.

[0014] In a further technical solution, a hinge seat is installed at the bottom of the pressure rod, a hinge plate is installed on the hinge seat, and a slot plate is installed at the bottom of the hinge plate, the slot plate being adapted to the pressure rod.

[0015] In a further technical solution, a positioning hole is installed on the hinge seat, and a return spring is installed in the positioning hole. One end of the return spring is fixedly connected to the positioning hole, and the other end of the return spring is fixed to the hinge plate. The hinge seat and hinge plate are installed on the pressure plate, and when pressed downwards, the bottom of the slot plate is engaged with the pressure plate. Then, the telescopic rods at both ends are pressed downwards to achieve effective installation and conduction.

[0016] In a further technical solution, the connecting cables are arranged in a "U" shape.

[0017] In a further technical solution, the terminal head is a movable terminal head, suitable for relative rotation with respect to the connecting cable.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the present invention can achieve the following technical effects:

[0019] Compared with the prior art, this invention achieves connection switching by setting a movable, non-human-contact mechanism at the connection between the power distribution cable and the terminal head, aiming to reduce the risk of electric shock. Two sets of connecting posts are installed at the cable clamp to connect the connector to the connecting posts, enabling closure. A movable telescopic rod is installed at the top, extending into the inner wall of the cable clamp. A metal plate is installed at the bottom of the telescopic rod, which can move downwards to connect between contact points A and B, thus enabling circuit transmission. The top insulating sleeve effectively prevents electric shock. A hinge seat and hinge plate are installed on the pressure plate. When pressed downwards, the bottom of the slot plate engages with the pressure plate, and then the telescopic rods at both ends are pressed downwards, achieving effective installation and conduction.
