[0002] In view of the characteristics of the festive homecoming load of the Guizhou power grid, in order to make full use of the old transformers that have been replaced by capacity increase, some substations will adopt the method of operating two distribution transformers in parallel to increase the capacity. This operation mode is highly economical and reliable, and can solve the problem of seasonal heavy overload of distribution transformers. However, the switching of the auxiliary transformers of the parallel-operated transformers still relies on manual or PLC installation for operation, which brings certain manpower and investment costs. Calculated based on the cost of two people and one car for each switching, the cost of each parallel-operated transformer needs to spend nearly 200 yuan in labor costs each time. Due to the high value of PLC switching operations and the technical barriers for operators, manual operation to control the switching of parallel distribution transformers requires a lot of manpower to support, which consumes a lot of time and increases the operation and maintenance costs. At the same time, the long-term operation of parallel distribution transformers will increase losses. Summary of the invention
