Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of nuclear power plants, and specifically relates to a variable load rod position detector simulation device. Background Technology

[0002] During the research and development and supply phases of the rod position measurement system equipment in nuclear power plants, it is necessary to conduct functional and performance tests in conjunction with rod position detectors. The testing conditions for actual rod position detectors are complex and extremely costly, making them unsuitable for the testing requirements of the rod position measurement system equipment. To facilitate functional and performance tests on the rod position measurement equipment, it is necessary to use rod position detectors to simulate loads and conduct joint commissioning tests in place of actual rod position detectors.

[0003] Traditional rod position detectors use resistive loads for simulation, which have the following drawbacks: the resistance cannot be continuously adjusted, making it difficult to accurately simulate the resistance value of the rod position detector coil; it cannot simulate the rod position feedback signal collected by the rod position detector measurement coil, making it impossible to verify the performance of the rod position signal processing function in the measuring equipment; and it has poor heat dissipation performance, making it unsuitable for long-term use.

The adjustable resistor and the controllable switch are connected in parallel, and then connected in series with the fixed resistor and the inductor. The switching on or off of the controllable switch determines whether the adjustable resistor is engaged or disengaged, thereby adjusting the total resistance value of the resistive sensing module to match the resistance values ​​of different types of rod position detectors.

[0008] The adjustable resistor includes a resistive layer, an insulating layer, and a heat sink. The insulating layer is located between the resistive layer and the heat sink. The resistive layer is in the form of a thin film and is laid on the insulating layer. The insulating layer is then attached to the heat sink.
