Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to a transformer comprehensive loss measurement system and method based on SF6 gas insulation and multi-range integration. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the power equipment manufacturing and testing industry, accurate evaluation of transformer energy efficiency is crucial, which relies on high-precision measurement of no-load loss and load loss. The current mainstream measurement scheme has significant bottlenecks. The traditional method uses independent high-voltage capacitor voltage divider and current transformer, and transmits analog signals to the remote power analyzer through long cables. This system is easily disturbed by the complex electromagnetic environment on site, and the signal attenuation and phase angle error caused by long-distance analog transmission cannot be ignored. Especially when measuring low power factor parameters such as no-load loss, small phase angle errors can cause large power calculation deviations. Although existing technical solutions attempt to integrate sensing and digitizing units to improve anti-interference performance, it is still difficult to maintain optimal measurement accuracy throughout the extremely wide range from milliamperes of no-load current to kiloamperes of load current. Moreover, the system's intelligence and data management capabilities are often insufficient.

[0003] In summary, the existing technology mainly faces several key problems: First, a single current sensing technology cannot maintain the highest measurement accuracy in the extremely wide range from 0.5A to 4000A, resulting in a relatively large error when measuring small currents. Second, the system architecture relying on long-distance analog signal transmission has insufficient stability and anti-interference ability, and the measurement data is easily disturbed. Third, the system has low automation and intelligence, and the range switching often relies on manual intervention, the testing process is cumbersome, and the data management is isolated, which cannot meet the needs of modern intelligent factories for real-time uploading and online analysis of test data. Finally, the on-site calibration of integrated systems is often inconvenient, making it difficult to perform regular value traceability, affecting the long-term credibility of the measurement results.
