[0052] For those skilled in the art, it is understandable that some well-known content descriptions in the accompanying drawings may be omitted.

[0053] The technical solutions of the present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0054] The description of the positional relationship in the accompanying drawings is only for illustrative purposes and should not be construed as limitations on this patent;

[0055] Embodiment 1

[0056] This embodiment proposes an automatic detection system for wiring faults in switchgear, including: a test module, a test source, and a collection device; the test module is respectively connected to the test source and the collection device through serial communication, the signal output end of the test source is connected to the test point of the switchgear; the signal input end of the collection device is connected to the test points of each switchgear.

[0057] As Figure 1 shown, in the voltage circuit and current circuit of the switchgear, the UD terminal receives the voltage signal sent by the test source, and the voltage signal is transmitted to the UD terminal of the sectional cabinet through the sectional bayonet at the top of the switchgear cabinet respectively, and the collection device receives the voltage signal through the UD terminal; the collection device receives the current signal sent by the test source through the ID terminal.

[0058] In this embodiment, the acquisition device includes a distribution automation terminal device and a low-voltage circuit measurement and control terminal device. The test module controls the test source to output standard current and voltage signals. The voltage signals include single-phase voltage, two-phase voltage, and three-phase voltage; the current signals include single-phase current and three-phase current. Specifically, the test module supports the serial port interface power protocol DLT634.5101, the network port interface power protocol DLT634.5104, and the RS485 interface MODUBUS protocol. The test module receives the voltage, current, and power values obtained by the acquisition device through the communication port and controls the output of the test source through the serial port of the test source. In this embodiment, the detection system has a one-key detection function and can determine whether the current, voltage, active power, and reactive power of the acquisition device meet the accuracy requirements.

[0059] As Figure 2 shown, the test module includes: an interaction unit, a function output unit, a power calculation unit, a data parsing unit, and a fault judgment unit;

[0060] The interaction unit provides an operation interface for the user. The operation interface includes a protocol setting option, a test item option, and a knowledge and experience library viewing item. Specifically, the acquisition device and protocols include DLT634.5101, DLT634.5104, and the MODUBUS protocol. The test items include accuracy and output control phases.

For example, when the output three-phase voltage is 57.74V, the three-phase current is 5A, and the angular difference is 45°, the theoretically obtained active power should be 612W, the reactive power should be 612Var, and the apparent power should be 866VA; the actually collected active power is 0W, the reactive power is 0Var, and the apparent power is 0VA. Then the fault judgment unit determines the fault as two-phase reverse connection based on the knowledge and experience library and records the detection result in the knowledge and experience library for viewing.
