Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of safety protection technology for high voltage DC power distribution systems, specifically relating to a detection method for detecting series arc faults in high voltage DC circuits and an apparatus for implementing the method. Background Technology
[0002] With the widespread application of high-voltage direct current (HVDC) power distribution systems in new energy, data centers, rail transportation, and other fields, system voltage levels are constantly increasing, and the number of electrical devices is growing daily. DC series arcing faults, due to their high impedance, severe heat generation, and high concealment, have become one of the main causes of electrical fires. Arcing faults introduce unstable high impedance into the circuit, leading to localized overheating and potentially igniting surrounding combustibles.
[0003] Currently, most common DC series arc detection technologies are based on high-frequency sampling of current or voltage waveforms and the extraction of arc features using complex signal processing algorithms (such as wavelet transform, Fourier analysis, and artificial intelligence pattern recognition). While these methods can identify arcs to some extent, they also have significant shortcomings: First, the complex algorithms require high processing power, leading to expensive system hardware; second, the increased algorithm complexity may introduce processing delays, affecting the real-time performance of fault protection; and third, in actual operating environments, interference such as normal load switching and power fluctuations can easily be confused with the characteristics of fault arcs, leading to false alarms or missed alarms.
[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a DC series arc detection scheme that has a simple detection circuit structure, clear judgment logic, low cost, and can reliably distinguish between fault arcs and normal interference. Summary of the Invention
