However, this method cannot measure the power factor of the system during a short circuit.

[0030] In summary, it is of great significance to study an easy-to-implement method for measuring power factor.

[0031] This invention discloses a non-contact power factor measurement method to improve the problems of existing power factor measurement methods being complex and difficult to implement.

[0032] like Figure 1 As shown, the power factor measurement method provided in this embodiment of the invention includes the following steps: S100 senses the first coupling capacitance between itself and the wire under test through the first coupling device. The first coupling capacitance is coupled with the measuring capacitance to form an electrical circuit.

[0033] The purpose of this step is to electrically couple the wire under test to form an equivalent closed loop through the first coupling capacitor and the measuring capacitor.

[0034] In this embodiment of the invention, the first coupling device is attached to the wire under test, and it is not necessary to peel off the outer insulation layer of the wire under test, thus realizing non-contact or non-invasive acquisition of the voltage information of the wire under test.

[0035] It should be understood that when the conductor under test is the only voltage source of the electrical circuit, the frequency at which the voltage across the capacitor is measured is the voltage frequency of the conductor under test.

[0036] S200 acquires the first waveform information of the voltage across the measuring capacitor.

[0037] The purpose of this step is to further obtain the voltage frequency of the conductor under test through the first waveform information.

[0038] In this embodiment of the invention, the voltage on the measuring capacitor is amplified by a voltage signal processing unit, and the amplified voltage on the voltage divider capacitor is converted into a discrete digital signal. The discrete digital signal is then subjected to spectrum analysis by Fourier transform to obtain the first waveform information of the voltage on the measuring capacitor.

[0039] S300 outputs a first reference voltage signal with a different frequency than the voltage of the conductor under test to the electrical circuit based on the first waveform information, and acquires the second waveform information of the voltage on the measuring capacitor.

[0040] The purpose of this step is to output a reference voltage signal with a different frequency than the voltage of the conductor under test to the electrical circuit, and to obtain information on the voltage division ratio of the measuring capacitor and the voltage amplitude of the conductor under test through the second waveform information.

[0041] It should be understood that the reference voltage signal can be input into the electrical circuit through a reference signal source, and thus the conductor under test and the reference voltage signal serve as the common voltage source for the electrical circuit. In this case, the frequency of the voltage across the capacitor being measured includes the first voltage frequency of the conductor under test and the second voltage frequency of the reference voltage signal.

[0042] When the first voltage frequency of the conductor under test is different from the second voltage frequency of the reference voltage signal, the voltage division amplitude of the first voltage frequency in the waveform information of the voltage across the measuring capacitor is the voltage division amplitude of the conductor under test, and the voltage division amplitude of the second voltage frequency is the voltage division amplitude of the reference voltage signal. The ratio of the voltage division amplitude of the conductor under test to the voltage amplitude of the conductor under test and the ratio of the voltage division amplitude of the reference voltage signal to the voltage amplitude of the reference voltage signal are both voltage division ratios of the measuring capacitor.

[0043] It should be understood that in the electrical circuit of this embodiment of the invention, the ratio of the voltage division amplitude of the first reference voltage signal acting on the measuring capacitor to the voltage amplitude of the first reference voltage signal, and the ratio of the voltage division amplitude of the wire under test acting on the measuring capacitor to the voltage amplitude of the wire under test, are both the voltage division ratio K of the measuring capacitor. Given that the voltage division amplitude of the wire under test, the voltage division amplitude of the first reference voltage signal, and the voltage amplitude of the first reference voltage signal are all known, the voltage amplitude of the wire under test can be further obtained.

[0044] Specifically, step S300 includes steps S310 to S330.

[0045] S310 determines the voltage frequency of the conductor under test based on the first waveform information.

[0046] This step can obtain the voltage frequency and voltage phase information from the first waveform information through a phase-locked loop circuit.

[0047] S320 outputs a first reference voltage signal for the electrical circuit; the frequency difference between the first reference voltage signal and the voltage of the conductor under test is less than 20Hz.

[0048] It should be noted that the voltage frequency of the first reference voltage signal should be different from the voltage frequency of the conductor under test, and the difference is not limited to less than 20Hz. There is no specific limitation here.

[0049] It should be noted that this step can also simultaneously output a first reference voltage signal and a second reference voltage signal to the electrical circuit, and verify the accuracy of the test results using the second reference voltage signal. The second reference voltage signal has a different frequency from both the first reference voltage signal and the voltage of the conductor under test. The voltage division ratio of the measuring capacitor is determined when the ratio of the voltage division amplitude of the first reference voltage signal to the voltage amplitude of the first reference voltage signal and the ratio of the voltage division amplitude of the second reference voltage signal to the voltage amplitude of the second reference voltage signal are the same.

[0050] S330 acquires the second waveform information of the voltage across the measuring capacitor; the frequency of the second waveform information includes at least two waveforms of different frequencies.

[0051] The voltage across the measuring capacitor is amplified by an amplifier circuit. An analog-to-digital converter then converts the amplified voltage across the voltage divider capacitor into a discrete digital signal. A Fourier transform module performs spectral analysis on the discrete digital signal to obtain the second waveform information of the voltage across the measuring capacitor. This second waveform information includes waveforms at at least two frequencies: the voltage frequency of the first reference voltage signal and the voltage frequency of the conductor under test.

[0052] It should be noted that the voltage frequency included in the second waveform information is not limited to the voltage frequency of the first reference voltage signal and the voltage frequency of the conductor under test, but may also include the voltage frequency of the second reference voltage signal.

[0053] The S400 acquires the current waveform information of the conductor under test.

[0054] The purpose of this step is to obtain the current phase information of the conductor under test.

[0055] Specifically, the current waveform information of the conductor under test is obtained non-contactly through a magnetoresistive array sensor.

[0056] It should be noted that, in addition to magnetoresistive array sensors, other current sensors with magnetoresistive effects or other non-contact current sensors for acquiring current information can also be used; no specific limitations are made here.

[0057] Based on the second waveform information and the current waveform information, S500 outputs a third reference voltage signal to the electrical circuit that is in the same frequency but out of phase with the current of the conductor under test, and acquires the third waveform information of the voltage on the measuring capacitor.

[0058] The purpose of this step is to output a reference voltage signal that is out of phase with the current based on the current phase information of the conductor under test, and to output a reference voltage signal that has the same voltage frequency, voltage amplitude and a certain phase difference as the voltage of the conductor under test.

[0059] Assume the angular frequency of the conductor under test is ω, and the phase difference between the current and voltage of the conductor under test is... The voltage amplitude of the conductor under test is Let the voltage division ratio of the measuring capacitor be K, and let the real-time voltage of the wire under test be [value]. Under the premise that the voltage amplitude and frequency of the third reference voltage signal are the same as those of the voltage amplitude and frequency of the conductor under test, and the voltage phase of the third reference voltage signal is out of phase with the current phase of the conductor under test, the real-time voltage value of the third reference voltage signal is The measured real-time voltage value V of the capacitor conforms to: V Then measure the current voltage division amplitude of the capacitor. conform to: .

[0060] Specifically, step S500 includes steps S510 to S540.

[0061] S510 determines the voltage division ratio of the measuring capacitor and the voltage amplitude of the conductor under test based on the second waveform information.

[0062] This step uses a phase-locked loop circuit to obtain the voltage division amplitude of the first reference voltage signal corresponding to the frequency of the first reference voltage signal and the voltage division amplitude of the conductor under test corresponding to the frequency of the conductor under test in the second waveform information; the ratio of the voltage division amplitude of the first reference voltage signal to the voltage division amplitude of the first reference voltage signal is determined as the voltage division ratio of the measuring capacitor, and the ratio of the voltage division amplitude of the conductor under test to the voltage division ratio of the measuring capacitor is taken as the voltage amplitude of the conductor under test.

[0063] Specifically, step S510 includes steps S511 to S513.

[0064] S511 determines the correspondence between voltage frequency and voltage division amplitude based on the second waveform information.

[0065] S512 uses the voltage divider amplitude corresponding to the voltage frequency of the first reference voltage signal as the voltage divider amplitude of the first reference voltage signal, and uses the voltage divider amplitude corresponding to the voltage frequency of the conductor under test as the voltage divider amplitude of the conductor under test. S513 based on the voltage amplitude of the first reference voltage signal First reference voltage divider amplitude And the second formula: Determine the voltage division ratio of the measuring capacitor. ; S514 is based on the measured capacitor voltage division ratio Voltage amplitude of the conductor under test And the third formula: determines the voltage amplitude of the conductor under test. .

[0066] The S520 determines the current phase of the conductor under test based on the current waveform information.

[0067] This step obtains the current phase of the conductor under test. Given that the current phase is known, setting the voltage phase of the third reference voltage signal can obtain the phase shift of the conductor under test.

[0068] S530 outputs a third reference voltage signal for the electrical circuit; the voltage frequency of the third reference voltage signal is the voltage frequency of the conductor under test, its voltage amplitude is the voltage amplitude of the conductor under test, and its voltage phase is the opposite of the current phase.

[0069] The S540 acquires the third waveform information of the voltage across the measuring capacitor; the third waveform information includes only one frequency waveform.

[0070] The S600 determines the power factor of the conductor under test based on the second and third waveform information.

[0071] Because the second waveform information includes the voltage division ratio K of the measuring capacitor and the voltage amplitude of the conductor under test. The information in the third waveform includes the current voltage division amplitude of the measured capacitor. The information includes the voltage division ratio K of the capacitor being measured and the voltage amplitude of the conductor under test. and the current voltage drop across the measuring capacitor. Given the known facts, we can use the first formula: Determine the phase difference between the current and voltage of the conductor under test. .

[0072] Specifically, step S600 includes steps S610 to S630.

[0073] S610 determines the voltage amplitude Vm of the measured capacity based on the third waveform information; S620 is based on the voltage amplitude of the conductor under test. Measure the partial voltage ratio K, the current partial voltage amplitude Vm, and the first formula: Determine the phase difference between the current and voltage of the conductor under test. ; The S630 uses the cosine of the phase difference between current and voltage to determine the power factor of the conductor under test.

[0074] Specifically, the power factor PF conforms to the formula: PF = cos ,pass Determine the value of the power factor.

[0075] This invention also provides a power factor measuring device.

[0076] like Figure 2 As shown, the power factor measuring device includes a first coupling device 100, a measuring capacitor 200, a reference signal source 300, a current sensing component 400, and a processing unit.
