[0043] Figure 1 This is a schematic block diagram of a testing system for a live calibration device of a current transformer, provided by an embodiment of the present invention.

[0044] Figure 2 This is a flowchart of the overall verification algorithm involved in the embodiments of the present invention. Detailed Implementation

[0045] Numerous specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a full understanding of the invention. However, the invention can be practiced in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar extensions without departing from the spirit of the invention. Therefore, the invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0046] To achieve the above objectives, this invention creatively proposes a comprehensive inspection system and method for a live-line calibration device of a current transformer. The basic principle is as follows: first, an error current and adjacent-channel interference current are simulated; then, a test error current mixed with adjacent-channel interference is synthesized; then, this current and a standard current are respectively amplified and output; finally, the error measurement data of the live-line calibration device of the current transformer are read, and the overall verification algorithm software determines whether the live-line calibration device of the current transformer is qualified.

[0047] The entire system consists of an interference signal generation unit, a standard signal generation unit, a phase shifter, a voltage divider, an adder, a power amplifier unit, and a main control unit. The block diagram is shown below. Figure 1 As shown.

[0048] An interference signal generating unit is used to generate a frequency-configurable and amplitude-adjustable interference signal composed of multiple frequency components; and to transmit the interference signal to an adder.

[0049] A standard signal generation unit is used to generate a standard signal with adjustable frequency and amplitude; the standard signal is then transmitted to a phase shifter, a voltage divider, and a power amplifier unit, respectively.

[0050] Phase shifters and voltage dividers are used to synthesize the same-direction and quadrature components of the error signal from the standard signal; the same-direction and quadrature components are then transmitted to the adder.

[0051] An adder is used to synthesize the interference signal, the in-phase component, and the quadrature component into an error signal mixed with the interference signal; the error signal is then transmitted to the power amplifier unit.

[0052] The power amplification unit is used to perform VI control and power amplification on the error signal and standard signal mixed with interference signals, and output the differential current and standard current mixed with interference signals to the current transformer live calibration device.

[0053] The main control unit is used to read the error value measured by the current transformer live calibration device, and to determine whether the current transformer live calibration device is qualified based on the error value.

[0054] Specifically, the interference signal generating unit generates an interference signal composed of multiple frequency components, with configurable frequency and adjustable amplitude. Figure 1 Let n1(t) be used to represent this, as shown in equation (1):

[0055]

[0061] The phase shifter and voltage divider synthesize the standard signal s1(t) into the same-direction component x1(t) and the quadrature component y1(t) of the error signal. The adder synthesizes the same-direction component x1(t) and the quadrature component y1(t) of the synthesized error signal and the interference signal n1(t) into an error signal s2(t) mixed with the interference signal, as shown in Equation (3).

[0062]

[0063] In equation (3), k1 and k2 are the partial pressure coefficients, which are real numbers that are not zero.

[0064] The main control unit controls the interference signal generation unit and the standard signal generation unit to generate signals with configurable frequency and amplitude, controls the voltage divider to generate configurable arbitrary same-direction error and quadrature error, reads the error value measured by the current transformer live calibration device, and judges whether the device is qualified through the overall verification software algorithm.

[0065] The overall verification software algorithm is based on the following criteria (5-6) (or can be flexibly configured with reference to relevant standards).

[0066] ΔX=±K1(X1a1+Y1a1+D x (5)

[0067] ΔY=±K1(X1a1+Y1a1+D y (6)

[0068] In equation (5-6), ΔX and ΔY are the allowable basic errors of the in-phase and quadrature components of the live calibration device, respectively; K1 is the device constant of the live calibration device, which is the range multiplier; X1 and Y1 are the absolute values ​​of the measured values ​​of the ratio difference and phase difference of the live calibration device, respectively, with Y1 in radians; D x D y D is the minimum scale division or quantization value of the charged calibration device. yThe unit is radians; a1 is the accuracy class index of the live calibration device divided by 100.
