Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of electrical technology, and more specifically, relates to a multi-fluxgate joint demodulation method based on time-domain time-division orthogonality. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous increase in voltage levels, faults caused by insulation defects in high-voltage direct current (HVDC) equipment are becoming increasingly prominent, seriously affecting the safe and stable operation of HVDC transmission systems. Currently, the development of online monitoring technology for the insulation status of HVDC equipment is still relatively slow, with the main bottleneck being the extremely weak leakage current signal—under normal insulation conditions, the DC leakage current is only at the 10 μA level, placing extremely high demands on the sensitivity and accuracy of measuring instruments.

[0003] Among existing non-contact DC sensors, fluxgate sensors, with their high resolution, high sensitivity, and stable operation, demonstrate excellent applicability for measuring weak DC currents in the 10 μA range, and accurate measurement of this level of current has been achieved in a laboratory environment. This type of high-performance fluxgate measurement method typically relies on high-precision analog-to-digital converters to convert analog output signals into digital signals, and then combines this with advanced signal processing techniques such as Fourier analysis to improve the detection accuracy of weak DC signals.

[0004] However, high-precision analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) are expensive, while in actual DC transmission projects, there are numerous high-voltage DC devices to be monitored, and leakage current branches are widely distributed. If each magnetic modulator is equipped with a separate high-precision ADC, the overall monitoring system cost will increase dramatically, resulting in poor economic efficiency. This severely restricts the large-scale application of magnetic modulators in engineering projects and hinders the promotion of online monitoring technology for the insulation status of high-voltage DC equipment.
