AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing technologies are insufficient to accurately measure the duration and ignition time of arcs in single-phase grounding faults in cables. Sensor monitoring methods suffer from response delays, and fire dynamics simulation methods ignore arc power fluctuations, resulting in large deviations in simulation results and failing to fully reflect arc characteristics.

Method used

A simulation model of arc in a single-phase grounding fault of a cable was constructed. The average energy and power of the arc were calculated by numerical integration. The electromagnetic-thermal-fluid coupling effect was combined with the simulation of the cable tunnel model, and the data of the monitoring equipment were recorded.

Benefits of technology

It enables precise measurement of arc duration and ignition time, reflects the characteristics of arc power fluctuation, improves the accuracy of fire simulation, and provides a scientific basis for fire assessment in cable trenches.
