Description

Technical Field

[0002] According to the operation requirements, various low-voltage auxiliary facilities and electrical equipment such as ventilation, lighting, drainage, and on-line monitoring devices are installed in the current power cable tunnel, and are powered through external low-voltage power supply lines and distribution boxes. The circuit breakers and their accessories (such as low-voltage contacts, breaking mechanisms, over- and under-voltage protectors, residual current operated protectors) in the low-voltage distribution box are used to trip and protect against faults such as short circuit, grounding, overload, and under-voltage in the low-voltage circuit, but lack the ability of low-voltage fault diagnosis and on-line monitoring. Once a fault occurs, it will be very difficult to timely obtain the low-voltage power outage warning information and fault type in the tunnel. When a single-phase grounding or short-circuit fault occurs at the end of some low-voltage circuits, since the fault current does not reach the action threshold of the circuit breaker, the circuit breaker cannot be normally opened, resulting in continuous arc and spark generation at the fault point, causing cable fires in the tunnel and triggering large-scale power outage accidents. Since the state of the low-voltage circuit in the tunnel cannot be monitored in real time, it is not until after the low-voltage fault continuously causes tunnel fires and power outages that it can be discovered, which greatly affects the operation safety and reliability of the power cable and the power grid.
