Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of grounding material testing technology, and in particular to a test device for corrosion-resistant grounding materials in substation grounding grids to resist grounding loss. Background Technology

[0002] The substation grounding grid is a fundamental overvoltage protection device for high-voltage primary equipment in a power system. When the primary equipment in a substation is struck by lightning or experiences a short-circuit fault, the transient surge current is discharged into the substation soil medium through the grounding down conductor and the buried grounding grid. The surge current energy is released in the form of heat and a small amount of light energy, ensuring that the potential at the high-voltage end of the primary equipment is limited to a safe range. A low grounding resistance is crucial to preventing backflashover and breakdown faults at the high-voltage end of the primary equipment. In actual operation and maintenance, power departments strive to minimize the grounding resistance of the substation grounding grid to ensure the safe operation of high-voltage equipment in the substation.

[0003] A search revealed that Chinese Patent Publication No. CN118190778B relates to the field of grounding material testing technology, specifically a substation grounding grid corrosion-resistant grounding material anti-loss testing device. The device includes a test box and a corrosion-resistant graphite grounding cable. The test box contains soil for testing the anti-loss performance of the graphite grounding cable. The insertion mechanism includes a first motor fixedly connected to the upper end of the test box. A threaded rod is fixedly connected to the movable end of the first motor. A threaded post is threadedly connected to the side wall of the threaded rod. The lower end of the threaded post has an installation groove that mates with the graphite grounding cable. A first L-shaped plate and a second L-shaped plate are fixedly connected to the two opposite side walls of the threaded post, respectively. This invention, by setting up an insertion mechanism, allows the graphite grounding cable to easily enter the soil for anti-loss testing, avoiding the problem in existing technologies where workers need to manually bury the graphite grounding cable in the soil and then squeeze the soil, resulting in slow testing efficiency.

[0004] A search revealed Chinese Patent Publication No. CN106597114A, which discloses a simulated grounding test system and method for grounding materials. The system includes a simulated trench, a grounding grid, and a power supply. The grounding grid is placed in the simulated trench at a preset burial depth, and the trench is filled with sand. The power supply is connected to the grounding grid via a conductor. The simulated trench is obtained by excavating on flat ground. Based on electromagnetic field theory and similarity principles, this invention derives the proportional relationships between various relevant quantities during the simulated test, thus effectively transforming a large-scale test into a small-scale simulated test. Using this invention, a series of simulated tests can be directly conducted on a large grounding grid within a limited area, including grounding resistance measurement, new grounding material testing, resistance-reducing agent testing, and grounding characteristic research. This invention ensures that the test results are consistent with those of a real-world test; the test site is small, allowing for flexible changes in soil resistivity; and a wide variety of tests can be performed, including but not limited to power frequency grounding simulation tests, impulse grounding simulation tests, and long-term corrosion resistance tests of grounding bodies.

[0005] However, in existing technologies, the degree of corrosion of grounding materials cannot be monitored in real time during testing. The degree of corrosion of grounding materials can be analyzed by resistance, but the resistivity of grounding materials cannot be effectively tested. The corrosion resistance of grounding materials can only be checked by taking out the material for inspection, which is a rather cumbersome process.
