Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of water turbine generator safety, and in particular to a gear selection test device for a neutral point arc suppression coil of a generator. Background Art

[0002] The stator grounding fault of a hydro-turbine generator is the most common generator fault. When a grounding fault occurs in a large generator set, a large capacitive current to the ground will be generated. In order to limit the grounding fault current within the allowable range, the neutral point is often operated by arc suppression coil grounding. When a single-phase grounding fault occurs in the generator stator, if it cannot be promptly checked, the fault current will endanger the stator core and even develop into a more harmful inter-phase and inter-turn short-circuit fault. When a single-phase grounding fault occurs, a large capacitive current to the ground will appear. It is necessary to use a suitable arc suppression coil connected between the busbar and the ground to compensate the capacitive current to the minimum. The purpose of testing the single-phase grounding fault current of the generator stator is to verify whether the arc suppression coil can effectively compensate for the fault current when a single-phase grounding occurs in the generator, to ensure that the grounding arc is extinguished instantly, to eliminate the intermittent grounding overvoltage of the arc light, and to prevent the accident from further expanding into an inter-turn or inter-phase short circuit.

[0003] At present, the on-site test requires the cooperation of multiple instruments to complete the test. There is no device dedicated to the generator arc suppression coil selection test. The existing technology has the following defects and shortcomings:

[0007] (4) The test records rely on manual reading and data analysis, which results in large reading errors and data analysis errors, which is not conducive to test data analysis and judgment. Summary of the invention
