Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the field of distribution network monitoring, and particularly relates to a grounding fault section positioning device. Background Art

[0002] The existing distribution overhead lines mainly use feeder terminal units (FTUs) for grounding fault judgment and isolation protection. The FTU judges the grounding fault according to the zero-sequence current and zero-sequence voltage signals collected by itself. However, in practical applications, due to the problems of the measurement accuracy and sampling rate of the existing FTUs, and only using the local single-point FTU measurement information, it is impossible to make correct judgments on grounding faults with very small fault characteristics and instantaneous grounding faults. Due to the low grounding fault judgment rate, currently the FTU only alarms and does not execute the tripping isolation of the fault.

[0003] At present, a centralized judgment method is proposed. At the moment of grounding fault, the zero-sequence voltage and zero-sequence current waveforms collected by each FTU are uniformly retrieved to the master station, and the master station locates the fault through the topological structure and the recorded waveforms of each FTU. This method using multi-point data greatly improves the success rate of grounding fault judgment, but the premise is that the waveform data collected by each FTU on the line can be accurately synchronized. Otherwise, the comparison between the data will be meaningless, and the currently installed FTUs do not have the function of wide-area synchronous sampling.

[0004] In view of the above problems, the designer actively conducts research and innovation in order to create a grounding fault section positioning device with industrial utilization value. Content of the Utility Model
