[0119] The technical requirements of each component part are as follows:

[0120] I. Conversion box:

[0121] The converter box can be placed next to the test tank. Multiple bushing tap connection cables are connected to the converter box according to their numbers. One end of the connection cable uses an alligator clip to connect to the tap, and the other end uses a banana plug for a reliable connection to the converter box. The converter box has multiple functions including power frequency withstand voltage testing, lightning impulse withstand voltage testing, partial discharge measurement, and dielectric loss capacitance measurement.

[0122] The various test states are independent of each other. When one state is used, the other states are open circuits. For example, when performing power frequency withstand voltage tests and lightning impulse withstand voltage tests, all bushing taps are grounded, and the partial discharge measurement and dielectric loss capacitance measurement terminals are open circuits; when performing partial discharge measurements, the grounding and dielectric loss capacitance measurements are open circuits.

[0123] The partial discharge measurement has 8 input interfaces and 4 output interfaces. The impedance box is placed inside the conversion box. The partial discharge quantity can be measured using the balance method and the series method.

[0124] The dielectric loss capacitance measurement and partial discharge measurement share 8 input interfaces and 1 output interface (i.e., the Cx interface is connected to the high-voltage bridge Cx). When measuring the first bushing, all other interfaces are grounded; when measuring the second bushing, all other interfaces are grounded, and so on. When performing dielectric loss capacitance measurement under high voltage, the switching cabinet has the function of first grounding, then switching the range, and then disconnecting the grounding again when switching to the next measurement point.

[0125] The conversion box is connected to the indoor control system via fiber optic cable, and the conversion cabinet contains a PLC module. The conversion box outputs four BNC interfaces and one CX output interface, which are connected to the high-voltage bridge of the partial discharge instrument via user cables.

[0126] II. Control System:

[0127] The system uses an industrial control computer for switching and control operations. The industrial computer is an Advantech brand, and the monitor is a 24-inch LED high-brightness display. The operating system is Windows. In remote operation mode, if any components in the chassis are damaged, the system will activate ground short-circuit protection and issue a warning to prompt for repair.

[0128] Device operating conditions:

[0129] Location of use: Indoors;

[0130] Ambient temperature: -5℃ to 55℃;

[0131] Ambient humidity: Monthly average maximum relative humidity ≤ 85% (25℃);

[0132] Altitude: ≤1000m.

[0136] Note: must ensure that each external cable connection is reliable and no damage, otherwise there may be high voltage counterattack risk.
