Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of power distribution terminal testing, and in particular relates to a test method for a power distribution terminal using an extended FT3 data frame injection mode. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, the construction and application of distribution automation has been widely promoted, and certain technical issues have gradually emerged. Among them, the quality level and matching degree of primary and secondary equipment have always been important factors restricting the effectiveness of distribution automation application. With the development of technology, integrated primary and secondary equipment sets have gradually become the most important equipment model for distribution automation. Integrated primary and secondary equipment sets can effectively solve many problems caused by the independent design, assembly, supply, and installation of traditional primary and secondary equipment. However, traditional integrated primary and secondary equipment sets are essentially simple integration of primary and secondary equipment, which makes it difficult to effectively improve the overall accuracy of the equipment, avoid signal interference and attenuation caused by prefabricated cable signal transmission, and achieve overall miniaturization and intensive design of the equipment. In the digital primary and secondary deep integration mode, digital signal interaction is used between switches and distribution terminals, avoiding the influence of prefabricated cables on the transmission signal. At the same time, the use of electronic sensors and digital signal interaction mode can greatly reduce the size of switches and distribution terminals, greatly improve the integration level of equipment, and facilitate the miniaturization and integration of equipment.

[0003] Deep integration is a key development direction for distribution automation equipment technology. However, the changes in the interaction between primary and secondary devices under the conditions of deep integration have also brought new technical challenges to testing and on-site operation and maintenance. With the emergence of deep integration of primary and secondary equipment, the integration between primary and secondary equipment has further increased, and the sampling information exchange has changed from analog to digital. This makes it impossible to use traditional test devices such as digital relays and distribution terminal testers to directly increase the amount of power on the distribution terminal. Traditional transformer testers are also unable to perform accuracy verification on primary equipment. Therefore, it is urgent to propose field testing and operation and maintenance technical solutions for deep integration of primary and secondary equipment. Summary of the Invention
