Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of power equipment fault diagnosis technology, specifically to a three-phase transformer winding inter-turn short circuit simulation device and fault identification method. Background Technology
[0002] Three-phase transformers, as key equipment in power systems, commonly experience inter-turn short-circuit faults in their windings. These faults can lead to localized overheating of the transformer, causing more serious accidents and threatening the safe and stable operation of the power system. Therefore, timely detection of inter-turn short-circuit faults in transformer windings is crucial for ensuring the safe operation and timely maintenance of transformers. Currently, traditional fault diagnosis methods for transformer inter-turn short circuits largely rely on the transformer's operating state before the fault occurs. These methods are not sensitive enough in fault detection, involve large computational loads, and have poor field applicability. Therefore, this invention proposes a method that uses a mechanical device to simulate inter-turn short-circuit faults in three-phase transformer windings and determines whether an inter-turn short circuit has occurred by calculating fault detection indicators. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To achieve the above technical objectives, this invention provides a three-phase transformer winding inter-turn short-circuit fault simulation device. This device uses a non-contact mechanical device to simulate inter-turn short-circuit faults and includes: a three-phase winding core, a mechanical device support platform, an A-phase primary winding, an A-phase secondary winding, a B-phase primary winding, a B-phase secondary winding, a C-phase primary winding, a C-phase secondary winding, a drive gear connected to a first-stage stepper motor via an output shaft, a first-stage reduction gear meshing with the drive gear, a transmission gear connected to the first-stage reduction gear via a transmission shaft, a second-stage reduction gear meshing with the transmission gear, a fixed shaft, an external gear meshing with the second-stage reduction gear, and a shaft tightly connected to the external gear. The system comprises: an internal gear that maintains the same rotational angular velocity; a cylindrical hollow working platform; a first spur gear located above the working platform and meshing with the internal gear; a bearing a connecting the first spur gear and a primary rotating gear a; a secondary rotating gear a meshing with the primary rotating gear a; a bearing b connecting the secondary rotating gear a and a first lifting gear; a first fixed column; a first lifting device; a second spur gear located symmetrically to the axis of the first lifting spur gear and meshing with the internal gear; a bearing c connecting the second spur gear and the primary rotating gear b; a secondary rotating gear b meshing with the primary rotating gear a; a bearing d connecting the secondary rotating gear b and the second lifting gear; a second fixed column; and a second lifting device.

[0009] Step 2: Identify inter-turn short-circuit faults in the three-phase transformer windings.
[0010] Further, step one includes:

[0012] 2) Control the first stepper motor to drive the drive gear to rotate, which in turn drives the first stage reduction gear and transmission gear to rotate, and then drives the second stage reduction gear to rotate, thereby reducing the speed and increasing the torque. This process further drives the external gear and internal gear transmission, and then drives the second spur gear and the first stage rotating gear b, and then drives the second stage rotating gear b and the second lifting gear, which in turn drives the second lifting device to rise to the designated position.
[0013] 3) Control the rotary motor a to rotate, driving the support platform to rotate until the metal gripper a is directly opposite the primary winding of the transformer;

[0016] 6) Control the rotation of the rotary motor b to drive the short-stroke micro lifting platform to rise vertically until the gap between the metal gripper b and the other two adjacent coils in the two coils of 4) is horizontal. According to the process control in 3) to 5), the first lifting device forms another coil contact point, metal gripper b, and metal wire b short circuit circuit.
[0017] 7) Repeat steps 2) to 6) to simulate inter-turn short-circuit faults at multiple locations on the primary winding of the transformer.
[0018] Furthermore, step two includes:
[0019] 1) Determine the number of turns in the primary winding, the number of turns in the secondary winding, and the magnetic reluctance of the three-phase core cross-section for simulating inter-turn short-circuit faults in the three-phase transformer.
[0020] 2) Set the sampling frequency of the host computer to 1KHz, collect the winding current through 6 current transformers connected in series on the primary and secondary windings of the three-phase transformer, and input the current to the host computer through an analog-to-digital converter (A / D) to realize the collection of n sets of primary and secondary winding currents of the three-phase transformer.
[0021] 3) Calculate the coefficient matrix M for solving the fault detection index and the measurement matrix N composed of the sampled current signals:
[0022]
[0023] Where: R a R b R c These are the magnetic reluctance of the core sections of the three-phase windings A, B, and C of the transformer, respectively, and N. p The number of turns in the primary winding of the transformer, N s n is the number of secondary turns of the transformer winding, n is the number of samples, and i is the number of secondary turns of the transformer winding. pa i pb i pc These represent the currents flowing through the primary windings of phases A, B, and C of a three-phase transformer, respectively, and i sa i sb i sc These are the currents flowing through the secondary windings of phases A, B, and C of a three-phase transformer, respectively.
[0024] 4) Calculate the unknown vector X that reflects the fault detection indicators:
[0025] X = (M T M) -1 N
[0026]
[0027] Where N f For short-circuit turns, I f The effective value of the induced current at the location where an inter-turn short circuit occurs;
[0028] 5) Select an appropriate fault detection threshold (Δ), calculate the fault detection index a based on the unknown vector X value in 4), and determine whether an inter-turn short-circuit fault has occurred in the transformer winding:
[0029]
[0030] If |a|>Δ, then an inter-turn short circuit fault occurs in the transformer winding.
[0031] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: it uses a non-contact mechanical device to simulate a short-circuit fault between turns of a three-phase transformer winding, uses a current transformer to collect transformer winding current information, and uses fault detection indicators to determine whether a short-circuit fault between turns of the winding has occurred, which can more sensitively and accurately identify the short-circuit fault between turns of the winding.
