[0019] In order to make the person skilled in the art better understand the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below in combination with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by the person skilled in the art without creative labor should belong to the protection scope of the present application.

[0020] It should be noted that the terms “include” and “have” and any variations thereof in the specification and claims of the present application and the above-mentioned drawings are intended to cover the non-exclusive inclusion, for example, a process, method, region, product or device including a series of steps or units does not have to be limited to only those steps or units clearly listed, but can include other steps or units not clearly listed or inherent to these processes, methods, products or devices.

[0021] The following will be described in combination with Figure 1 and Figure 2 to further illustrate the present application.

[0022] As Figure 1 shown, an electrical demonstration device comprises a cabinet body, a demonstration space is arranged in the cabinet body, a first cabinet door 8 is arranged on one side of the demonstration space, and a transparent observation window 9 is arranged on the first cabinet door 8; A demonstration platform is arranged below the demonstration space, and a flashover demonstration assembly is arranged on the demonstration platform 1; the flashover demonstration assembly comprises two pole columns 2, a tungsten needle 3 and a driving member, the two pole columns 2 are arranged horizontally and spaced apart on the demonstration platform, the tungsten needle 3 is arranged on one side of the two pole columns 2, and the driving member is used to drive the tungsten needle 3 to approach or move away from one of the pole columns 2. The two pole columns 2 are connected with the positive and negative poles of a power supply respectively.

[0023] Based on the above structure, during demonstration, the first cabinet door 8 is closed, the driving member drives the tungsten needle 3 to hit the pole column 2, arc light is generated, the electric arc rises to the top of the copper column, and thus the flashover (short circuit) demonstration is completed, which brings an intuitive feeling to the training personnel, leaves a deeper impact, has a better learning effect, makes the employees easier to learn and understand the knowledge of safe production of electric power, and has a higher efficiency of receiving knowledge.

[0024] As Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the driving member includes a linear motor 4 (or an electric cylinder or a pneumatic cylinder, etc.) and a clamping tool 5, the linear motor 4 is arranged on the demonstration platform 1, the clamping tool 5 is arranged at the driving end of the linear motor 4, the tungsten needle 3 is arranged on the clamping tool 5, and the tungsten needle 3 is horizontally arranged on the clamping tool 5, and the linear motor 4 is used to drive the tungsten needle 3 to move axially, one of the pole columns 2 is arranged on the movement path of the tungsten needle 3, the tungsten needle 3 is driven to move by the linear motor 4, so as to achieve the purpose of the tungsten needle 3 impacting one of the pole columns 2, and the flashover demonstration is realized.

[0025] Further optimization is that the distance between the two pole columns 2 gradually increases from bottom to top, and the pole columns 2 are made of copper to present a better demonstration effect.

[0026] As shown in Figure 1 , the demonstration platform 1 is also provided with an overload demonstration assembly, the overload demonstration assembly includes a wire 6 and two load conductive terminals 7, the two load conductive terminals 7 are arranged at intervals on the demonstration platform 1, and the two ends of the wire 6 are connected with the two load conductive terminals 7 respectively; the two load conductive terminals 7 are connected with the positive and negative poles of the power supply respectively, the load adjusting potentiometer is slowly rotated clockwise, the current passes through the wire 6, and the rotation can be stopped when the ammeter display is about 15A; the circuit breaker trips after about 10-30 seconds (or after observing for about several seconds, the wire starts to smoke, and the insulating layer starts to melt), so as to complete the overload demonstration.

[0027] And due to the demonstration requirement, the wire 6 needs to be replaced, so that the two ends of the wire 6 are connected with the two load conductive terminals 7 through quick release structures respectively, so as to achieve the purpose of quick replacement.

[0028] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 3 , the cabinet body is provided with a mounting space below the demonstration platform, the cabinet body is provided with a second cabinet door 9 on one side of the mounting space, and the second cabinet door 9 is provided with a plurality of operation switches and a plurality of indicator lights (such as an isolation switch, a power switch, a power indicator light, a total leakage protection circuit breaker, a first selection switch (selecting short circuit experiment or load experiment), a second selection switch (selecting protection or no protection), a flashover starting switch, an overload circuit breaker, and a load adjusting potentiometer, etc.).

[0029] Further optimization is that the first cabinet door 8 is provided with an electromagnetic lock, and the electromagnetic lock and the device power supply system realize safe interlocking control: only when the device main disconnecting switch is in the "OFF" (off) position, the electromagnetic lock is powered off and released, allowing the cabinet door to be opened for maintenance or setting. When the door is closed, when the operator closes the main disconnecting switch, the device control circuit is powered on, and the electromagnetic lock is powered on at the same time. The front cabinet door is firmly locked and cannot be opened. This prevents accidental opening of the cabinet door to contact the live parts when the device is running; when the door is open, maintenance or replacement of internal components is required. First, the main disconnecting switch must be rotated to the "OFF" position. This action cuts off all power supplies to the device, including the power supply to the electromagnetic lock, and the lock is released instantly. At this time, the cabinet door can be opened using a key or manually; this design meets the safety specifications of "lock and sign", realizes double isolation of mechanical and electrical, and is an important guarantee for preventing arc flash injury and operator misoperation. It forcibly binds the access permission of the high-risk area with the power state, ensuring the safety of the operator.
