Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of cable fixing technology, specifically to a cable fastener, fixing device, and method of use. Background Technology

[0002] Relay protection equipment plays a crucial role in the safe and stable operation of power systems such as power plants and substations. Regular calibration, debugging, and maintenance of relay protection devices are essential to ensure their reliable operation. During such operations, testing personnel need to use multiple test leads to connect the relay protection tester to the terminal blocks on the control panel to simulate faults, read data, and test logical functions.

[0003] Relay protection testing is a complex process that often requires frequent wiring changes depending on the test requirements. When multiple test leads (such as A, B, and C phase current and voltage, and digital input / output lines) are haphazardly mixed together, operators need to spend a significant amount of time sifting through the tangled mess to find the corresponding output interface on the relay protection device after each wiring change. This repetitive sorting and identification work greatly increases unnecessary work time, reduces overall work efficiency, and easily leads to operational errors due to misidentifying the correct wire. Summary of the Invention
