Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of electrical safety monitoring technology, specifically to a leakage current protection system for low-voltage IT power supply systems. Background Technology

[0002] As low-voltage IT power supply systems are increasingly used in critical fields such as medical care, data centers, and precision manufacturing, the requirements for power supply continuity and security are also increasing. In modern IT systems, the use of a large number of nonlinear loads and frequency converters, as well as the increasingly complex system network topology, has led to a significant increase in the system's capacitance to ground, which poses a severe challenge to traditional insulation monitoring technologies. Currently, conventional leakage current protection devices mainly achieve protection by monitoring the instantaneous value of total leakage current to ground or insulation resistance and comparing it with a fixed threshold. However, this traditional method has its inherent technical limitations. It cannot effectively distinguish between resistive leakage current caused by actual insulation aging or damage and capacitive leakage current generated by inherent cables, filters, etc. in the system. In systems with a large capacitance component, capacitive leakage current may dominate, thus masking the true insulation condition.

[0003] This confusion directly leads to two main problems: First, false alarms, where the system insulation is in good condition, but a large capacitive leakage current causes the total leakage current to exceed the alarm threshold, triggering unnecessary shutdowns for maintenance and affecting the continuity of power supply; Second, leakage alarms, where the insulation has begun to deteriorate slowly, but because its resistive leakage current component has not yet caused a significant change in the total leakage current, the system cannot detect potential risks in time. In addition, alarm mechanisms that rely on a single threshold are reactive and lack the ability to analyze and predict insulation aging trends, making predictive maintenance impossible. Therefore, accurately identifying the true insulation resistance of the system, eliminating the interference of the system's capacitance to ground, and conducting a forward-looking comprehensive risk assessment in conjunction with aging trends to overcome the false alarms and missed alarms of traditional methods has become a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved in this field.

The dynamic evaluation unit is used to construct an insulation health index based on the actual insulation resistance and the preset insulation resistance alarm limit; and to calculate the system structure change factor based on the system's capacitance to ground and the preset capacitance reference value. The trend prediction unit is used to calculate the insulation aging rate based on a time series formed from historical real insulation resistance data; The comprehensive risk decision-making unit is used to calculate the comprehensive risk index by combining the insulation health index, system structure change factor and insulation aging rate in a weighted fusion manner; to perform graded early warning based on the comprehensive risk index; and to output a trip signal in response to the insulation health index exceeding the preset final protection limit.

[0007] Preferably, the dynamic evaluation unit calculates the insulation health index by dividing the preset insulation resistance alarm limit by the actual insulation resistance.

[0008] Preferably, the dynamic evaluation unit calculates the difference between the system's capacitance to ground and a preset capacitance reference value, and divides the difference by the capacitance reference value to obtain the system structure change factor.

[0009] Preferably, the dynamic evaluation unit is further used for: When the system structure change factor continues to exceed the preset capacitance fluctuation limit for a preset duration, a prompt is made to update the capacitance reference value. In response to the confirmation command, the capacitance reference value is updated with a new stable capacitance value.

[0010] Preferably, the trend prediction unit processes the actual insulation resistance time series within a preset time window to calculate the relative loss rate of insulation resistance per unit time, thereby obtaining the insulation aging rate.

[0011] Preferably, the process by which the comprehensive risk decision-making unit calculates the comprehensive risk index includes: The comprehensive risk index is obtained by multiplying the insulation health index, the system structure change factor normalized by the preset capacitance fluctuation limit, and the insulation aging rate normalized by the preset aging rate threshold by their respective preset weighting coefficients.

[0012] Preferably, the process of the comprehensive risk decision-making unit executing tiered early warning includes: When the comprehensive risk index is lower than the first warning threshold, it is determined to be in a normal state; When the comprehensive risk index reaches the first warning threshold but is lower than the second warning threshold, a level of attention alert is triggered. When the comprehensive risk index is not lower than the second warning threshold, a warning level alarm is triggered.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: 1. This invention effectively eliminates the interference of capacitive leakage current generated by the system's ground capacitance by accurately decoupling the true insulation resistance, thus solving the problem of false alarms caused by the inability of traditional protection devices to distinguish between resistive and capacitive leakage currents, and significantly improving the accuracy of protection.

[0014] 2. This invention quantifies the insulation aging rate based on historical data of real insulation resistance, enabling forward-looking prediction of insulation performance degradation trends.

Specifically, it actively injects a preset composite voltage signal containing multiple discrete frequency points, such as 20 characteristic frequency points selected from the range of 50Hz to 5000Hz, between the three-phase conductors of the system and the protective ground. The amplitude of this signal is controlled within a safe range to avoid interfering with the normal operation of the system. Simultaneously, a high-precision synchronous acquisition module captures the signal at each discrete frequency point in real time and synchronously. Injected excitation voltage phasor And the total ground leakage current response phasor generated by the system as a result The collected data is for Together they constitute the original spectrum dataset; Based on the above dataset, this unit calculates the system's complex impedance spectrum to ground. This step aims to transform the original voltage and current data into impedance information that better reveals the system's intrinsic physical characteristics. Finally, this unit applies a parallel RC equivalent circuit model to decouple the actual insulation resistance from the frequency-dependent complex impedance spectrum. and system-to-ground capacitance The ground characteristics of an IT power supply system can be precisely equivalent to a real insulation resistance. With a system to ground capacitance A parallel model; in which, The resistance value does not change with frequency, representing the true insulation level; while The capacitive reactance is inversely proportional to the frequency, and becomes the main path for leakage current in the high-frequency range; the purpose of this step is to extract the true insulation level from the mixed total leakage current. Separate to exclude The resulting capacitive leakage current interference; The purpose of the dynamic evaluation unit is to conduct a standardized, multi-dimensional assessment of the current health status of the system from two dimensions: immediate insulation status and system structural stability. This unit is based on the actual insulation resistance decoupled from the impedance spectrum identification unit.

This unit will include the insulation health index. This represents immediate risk and factors affecting system structure changes. This represents structural stability and insulation aging rate. These represent future risks and are weighted and aggregated to calculate a comprehensive risk index. This fusion computing aims to avoid the limitations of any single indicator and provide a comprehensive and multi-dimensional assessment of the system's health. This unit is based on a comprehensive risk index. Implement tiered early warning systems; different early warning thresholds are set within each unit, based on... The range in which the system is located triggers different levels of response, thereby providing operations and maintenance personnel with clear operational guidelines that are in line with the current risk level. In addition, the system has a built-in set of highest-priority safety protection logic; each unit independently monitors the insulation health index. And in response to the insulation health index Exceeding a preset final protection limit When this occurs, a trip signal is directly output; among which, the final protection limit is... The critical risk coefficient is set based on engineering practice, and its value is usually between 1.5 and 2.0. This design ensures that in the critical moment when the system insulation deteriorates to an extreme degree and is about to break down, the power supply can be forcibly cut off as quickly as possible, bypassing the comprehensive assessment, so as to protect the safety of personnel and equipment.
