The insulation problems of electrolytic cells and electrolytic series need to be solved through standardized management and scientific monitoring methods. Through real-time monitoring, fault warning, fault location and data analysis, the incidence of electrical accidents can be effectively reduced, production efficiency can be improved, and production costs can be reduced. With the rapid development of the electrolytic aluminum industry, the voltage and current levels of electrolytic cells and rectifier equipment are constantly increasing. In this high voltage, high current, and strong magnetic field environment, higher requirements are placed on insulation and monitoring technology. For the DC production system of the electrolytic aluminum workshop, it is very necessary to do a good job of online insulation monitoring as the voltage increases. It is also one of the indispensable tasks when designing a large-scale electrolytic aluminum power supply rectifier, which is of great significance to ensure the safety and stable operation of the workshop.
[0003] At present, the insulation inspection device of DC system at home and abroad only has one total voltmeter, which monitors the voltage between the positive and negative busbars of the DC system and the ground. When the insulation is normal, the voltage values of the positive and negative poles are close to equal. When the insulation is damaged, the voltage will drop. Therefore, the insulation damage can be known through the value change of the total voltmeter. However, due to the large area of the electrolysis workshop, which currently has a length of 1 kilometer and has more than 300 electrolytic cells, it takes a lot of manpower and time to find the specific location of the insulation damage after the insulation damage is found. Not only is the labor intensity of the workers high, but it also seriously slows down the production progress. Summary of the invention
