Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of power equipment testing technology, specifically relating to a live detection device and method for the resistance of a high-voltage cable grounding circuit. Background Technology
[0002] High-voltage cables, with their safety, reliability, and aesthetic appeal, have become an essential component of power transmission networks. Their safe and stable operation is crucial for improving the reliability of power system operation. However, high-voltage cables are mostly buried underground and often operate in high-temperature and high-humidity environments. Their grounding systems are prone to problems such as lead corrosion, metal rust, and partial circuit breaks, leading to a significant increase in loop resistance, affecting grounding reliability, causing local potential rise, damaging cable insulation, and inducing breakdown faults. Therefore, conducting high-voltage cable grounding system inspections and effectively assessing the grounding system connection status is a prerequisite for ensuring the safe and stable operation of high-voltage cables.
[0003] The loop resistance value is directly related to the health status of the high-voltage cable grounding system. Defects such as lead corrosion, metal rust, and partial open circuits can all lead to a significant increase in the loop resistance value of the grounding system. Currently, commonly used methods for detecting loop resistance value require a current source and a detection unit connected in series in the high-voltage cable grounding loop for injection and measurement of a power frequency-like signal. However, the grounding system state cannot be changed while the high-voltage cable is in operation, and the power frequency-like signal is easily affected by the cable's operating voltage and current, so it is generally only used for offline detection. In recent years, some scholars and companies have proposed using an inductive method to inject high-frequency signals and use the ratio of the injected signal voltage to the response signal current to obtain the loop resistance value of the high-voltage cable grounding system. This method can achieve live detection without disconnecting the cable while eliminating the cable's operating voltage and current signals. However, high-frequency signals are extremely sensitive to stray inductance and capacitance in the cable grounding system, affecting the detection accuracy. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a live detection device and method for the resistance of high-voltage cable grounding loops, thereby achieving efficient and high-precision live detection of the resistance of high-voltage cable grounding loops.
[0005] The technical solution of the present invention is: a method for detecting the resistance of a high-voltage cable grounding loop under live conditions, wherein a head-end detection unit and a tail-end detection unit are installed on the grounding wires at the head and tail ends of the high-voltage cable under test, respectively; the equivalent network of the high-voltage cable grounding system is formed by the parallel connection of the conductor axial impedance and the conductor radial admittance, the axial impedance is formed by the series connection of the conductor resistance and the conductor mutual inductance, and the radial admittance is formed by the parallel connection of the leakage conductance and the equivalent capacitance; the head-end detection unit measures the injected signal waveform e(t), and the tail-end detection unit measures the received signal waveform x(t), the relationship between the received signal waveform x(t) and the injected signal waveform e(t) satisfies the formula (1), and the received signal waveform parameter matrix A and the injected signal waveform parameter matrix B can be calculated by using a vector fitting algorithm based on the formula (1); (1); The sum of all resistances in the received signal waveform parameter matrix A is the loop resistance of the high-voltage cable grounding system.
[0006] Further preferably, in the equivalent network of the high-voltage cable grounding system, the resistance R0 of the 0th conductor segment is connected in series with the inductance L0 of the 0th conductor segment; the resistance R1 of the 1st conductor segment is connected in parallel with the inductance L1 of the 1st conductor segment; the resistance R2 of the 2nd conductor segment is connected in parallel with the inductance L2 of the 2nd conductor segment, and so on, with the resistance R of the Mth conductor segment... M With the inductance L of the Mth segment of the conductor M The segments are connected in parallel, and each segment is connected in series. The equivalent capacitance C0 of segment 0 is connected in parallel with the leakage conductance G0 of segment 0; the equivalent capacitance C1 of segment 1 is connected in series with the leakage conductance G1 of segment 1; the equivalent capacitance C2 of segment 2 is connected in series with the leakage conductance G2 of segment 2, and so on. The equivalent capacitance C0 of segment N is connected in parallel with the leakage conductance G0 of segment 0. N With the leakage conductance G of the Nth segment N The segments are connected in series, and the segments are connected in parallel.

[0008] In a further preferred embodiment, the signal injection unit mainly consists of a signal generation circuit and a signal injection antenna. The output terminal of the signal generation circuit is connected to the input terminal of the signal injection antenna. The signal generation circuit mainly consists of a sinusoidal signal generation circuit, a push-pull power amplifier circuit, a transformer rectifier circuit, and an LC oscillation circuit connected in series.
[0009] Further optimization reveals that the signal injection antenna adopts a dipole antenna structure, with each antenna being teardrop-shaped and consisting of 6 antennas, and the signal is a double exponential wave.
[0010] The beneficial effects of this invention are: 1) This method only requires injecting or detecting a signal on the grounding wire of the high-voltage cable, without changing the connection method of the cable and its grounding system, and the cable does not need to be shut down during the detection process, resulting in high detection efficiency; 2) The injected detection signal is a double exponential wave, which avoids interference from the cable's operating voltage during the detection process and significantly improves the detection accuracy; 3) Compared with existing detection technologies, it does not require a high-power adjustable frequency sinusoidal voltage generator, but only needs to generate a pulse signal with a single waveform, which significantly reduces the equipment manufacturing cost.

[0021] The circuit grid parameter fitting algorithm, based on the equivalent network of the high-voltage cable grounding system, shows that during signal transmission, the first-end detection unit measures the injected signal waveform e(t), and the last-end detection unit measures the received signal waveform x(t). The relationship between the received signal waveform x(t) and the injected signal waveform e(t) satisfies formula (1). By using the vector fitting algorithm based on formula (1), the received signal waveform parameter matrix A and the injected signal waveform parameter matrix B can be calculated. The sum of all resistances in the received signal waveform parameter matrix A is the loop resistance of the high-voltage cable grounding system, which can directly represent the connection state of the grounding system.
