Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of insulation detection of high-voltage power equipment and relates to an electrochromic insulation basin for flashover positioning. Background Art
[0002] GIS / GIL are crucial power transmission equipment in hydropower stations, transmitting electricity from the GIS switch station within the mountain through dedicated shafts to the outgoing transmission yard, which is hundreds of meters high. Their reliable operation is crucial to the stability of the hydropower station's power supply. However, long-term operational experience has shown that GIL insulation failures frequently occur, seriously threatening the safe operation of the hydropower station.
[0003] Defects such as free metal particles, protrusions or burrs on contact electrodes, surface contamination on insulators, and air gaps in solid insulation, introduced during GIS / GIL production and installation, are the primary causes of reduced GIS / GIL insulation performance. During operation, these defects can distort the local electric field within the GIS / GIL, triggering partial discharge (PD). This PD can develop and eventually lead to GIS / GIL insulation failures and flashovers. When a flashover occurs, it is necessary to quickly locate and replace the affected insulation basin. However, visual inspection alone cannot identify the flashover basin, making it difficult to determine which section of the equipment should be disassembled and replaced. Currently, flashovers that occur during high-voltage testing can be located and identified by pre-installed flashover locators, but accurate location often requires multiple deployments. If a flashover occurs during operation, high voltage is applied to specific areas and flashover locators are deployed for further analysis. Sometimes, the risky method of increasing the generator voltage from zero to locate the flashover point is employed. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is to provide an electrochromic insulating basin for flashover positioning, wherein a concave surface is arranged in the center of one side of a flange, a conductor connector is arranged in the center of the concave surface, an epoxy insulating coating is coated on the concave surface, and an electrochromic coating is coated on the plane of the flange and the plane connection area. When the current reaches a set value, the electrochromic coating changes color, which is conducive to quickly locating the flashover position, and solves the problem that GIS / GIL equipment cannot be quickly visually positioned after a flashover occurs during operation or high-voltage testing.
[0005] In order to solve the above technical problems, the technical solution adopted by the utility model is: an electrochromic insulating basin for flashover positioning, which includes a flange, a concave surface, a conductor connector and a flange hole; the concave surface is located in the center of the flange, the conductor connector is arranged in the center of the concave surface, the flange holes are evenly distributed on the plane of the flange, and a sealing groove is provided between the concave surface and the plane; an electrochromic coating is coated on the plane and the plane connection area.
[0006] The concave area is coated with epoxy insulation coating.
[0007] The conductor connecting piece is made of silver-plated metal.
[0008] The electrochromic coating is irreversible color change.
[0009] The electrochromic coating changes color when the current reaches a set value.
[0010] The main beneficial effects of the utility model are:
[0011] The concave surface is coated with epoxy insulation coating, and the conductor connector is made of metal silver-plated material to ensure good conductivity and insulation.
[0012] The flat surface and the flat connection area are coated with an electrochromic coating. When the current reaches the set value, the electrochromic coating changes color, which is conducive to quickly locating the flashover position, solving the problem of being unable to quickly visually locate the flashover of GIS / GIL equipment during operation or high-voltage testing.
