Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of transformer winding deformation detection, and particularly to a wireless distributed transformer winding deformation diagnosis device. Background Art

[0002] Power transformers are the core equipment of the power system. Due to deficiencies in early transformer design, short-circuit resistance calculation, transformer manufacturing and material selection, as well as a large number of foreign objects in the transmission channels near substations, the cumulative effect of multiple sudden short-circuit impacts on transformers has led to prominent problems of winding deformation faults. Its harms are mainly manifested in two aspects: When a transformer suddenly short-circuits, a large short-circuit current will be generated. Although the duration is short, before the circuit breaker has time to cut off, the transformer will be impacted by the short-circuit current, affecting thermal stability and possibly damaging the transformer; when a transformer suddenly short-circuits, the overcurrent will generate a large electrodynamic force, affecting dynamic stability, deforming the winding, damaging the winding insulation, and other components will also be damaged. If a transformer short-circuit fault occurs simultaneously with a substation protection or DC system failure fault, it often causes a vicious accident of transformer combustion and explosion. Such as transformer explosion, etc.

[0003] Transformer winding deformation is one of the important reasons for transformer damage accidents. Conventional electrical tests such as resistance measurement, ratio measurement, and capacitance measurement are difficult to detect winding deformation. The detection device cannot be connected near the winding measurement end, resulting in low detection accuracy and consistency, difficult power supply acquisition on-site, signal distortion during long-distance transmission, susceptibility to interference, cumbersome operation, low detection efficiency, and other adverse factors, all of which affect the safe operation of the power grid. Therefore, it is very necessary to develop a measurement and diagnosis device that can be connected near the winding measurement end and can measure the winding deformation of transformers that have withstood mechanical and electrodynamic forces. Summary of the Invention

To achieve the invention purpose of the present invention, the technical solutions adopted by the present invention are as follows: A wireless distributed transformer winding deformation diagnosis device includes a front-end sensing module, a wireless transmission module, and a host computer. The housing of the front-end sensing module is a shielding housing, and an on-board low-power frequency-sweeping test circuit is arranged inside; a pair of rotary clamps are arranged on the back of the housing, and a rotary handle is arranged on the top of the housing. The rotary handle and the rotary clamp form a ratchet clamping mechanism, and the rotary handle is used to control the axial opening and closing of the rotary clamp.

[0016] In order to more clearly understand the above objects, features and advantages of the present invention, the present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments in the embodiments of the present invention. It should be noted that, without conflict, the embodiments of the present application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0017] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to fully understand the present invention. However, the present invention may be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the protection scope of the present invention is not limited by the specific embodiments disclosed below. EXAMPLE

[0018] As Figures 1-4 shown, the front-end sensing module is installed at the bushing electrode of the measured winding to achieve seamless docking of the test ports. The main parameters and other information are displayed on the nameplate of the outer shell 6 of the front-end sensing module. During the test installation process, the wireless ID numbers of each sensing unit need to be recorded and corresponding to them one by one in the acquisition software of the host computer.

[0019] When in use, after pressing the power switch of the sensing unit, the power indicator light will turn on. The power indicator light has three different colors, corresponding to three power states respectively. When the power indicator light is green, the power is sufficient at this time; when the power indicator light is blue, the power is normal and charging can be considered; when the power indicator light is red, the power is insufficient and charging is required immediately. When the power is insufficient, it can be charged using a charger.

[0020] A grounding ring 3 is provided at the bottom end of the housing 6. By rotating the grounding ring 3, one end of the grounding wire is clamped on the grounding ring 3 to achieve a reliable connection nearby. Embodiment

[0021] As Figure 4 As shown, the front-end sensing module is provided with a ratchet clamping mechanism, including a rotating handle 5-1, a rotating clip 5-2 and a rotating screw 5-3. Before use, the two rotating clips 5-2 are in a closed state. By rotating the rotating handle 5-1, the two rotating clips 5-2 are in an open state. Then, the copper sheet on the high-voltage and low-voltage bushings of the transformer is placed between the two rotating clips 5-2, and then the rotating handle 5-1 is rotated to close the two rotating clips 5-2 to clamp the copper sheet. If fine adjustment is needed, the rotating screw 5-3 can be rotated for further adjustment to make the rotating clip 5-2 and the copper sheet closer and more reliable in closing, so as to ensure that the rotating clip 5-2 and the copper sheet will not become loose during the test. Embodiment

Embodiment

[0024] As Figure 5As shown, a 380V / 25kVA isolation transformer is used as the test object. When the front-end sensing module, as the lower computer, communicates interactively with the winding under test and the upper computer through a wireless network, a sinusoidal excitation signal Vs is generated under the control of the upper computer. The sinusoidal excitation signal Vs is injected from the neutral point of the transformer under test. The response signal V2 of the winding under test and the original excitation signal V1 respectively enter the synchronous acquisition end of the front-end sensing module for data acquisition. By extracting basic parameters such as the amplitude and frequency of the measured signal, the amplitude-frequency characteristic curve of the winding under test is calculated, so as to obtain the deformation situation of the transformer winding. After the detection device completes the above detection and calculation, the calculated data is uploaded to the upper computer, and the operator conducts in-depth analysis of the uploaded data through the human-computer interaction interface. Embodiment

The front-end sensing module injects the excitation signal from the tail end of the winding under test under the wireless control of the upper computer, obtains the response signal from the head end of the winding under test, automatically processes the detection data, and uploads the data processing result to the upper computer through the wireless network after the frequency sweep ends. The detection result can be viewed and analyzed through the human-computer interaction interface. Embodiment

[0027] The frequency-sweeping signal generator adopts the direct digital frequency synthesis (DDS) technology, which can quickly and accurately process the frequency and phase under the action of the processor to achieve fast signal transformation. According to the requirements of the frequency response method for detecting winding deformation, the working clock frequency of the DDS sinusoidal signal generator is 50MHz, the output frequency band range is 1kHz~1MHz, and the output frequency resolution is 0.11Hz.
