Technical Field

However, the traditional ratio bridge is cumbersome to operate, the readings are not intuitive, and necessary conversions are required. The test result is only the value of one phase ratio, which affects the efficiency of power transformer testing. Therefore, it is necessary to study and improve the circuit structure of the existing ratio tester. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0009] Compared with the prior art, one of the beneficial effects of the present invention is that: by designing a power amplifier circuit connected to a power supply and cooperating with a transformer inverter, a measurement signal can be provided by the power supply through a three-phase SPWM inverter circuit.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0010] Figure 1 It is a schematic structural diagram for illustrating an embodiment of the utility model. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0011] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0012] refer to Figure 1 As shown, one embodiment of the present invention is a power transformer ratio tester, including a power amplifier circuit for accessing a power supply, the power amplifier circuit is connected to a transformer inverter, the transformer inverter is used to access a signal output relay module, and the signal output relay module is used to access the high-voltage side of the power transformer; the ratio tester also includes a signal acquisition relay module, the signal acquisition relay module is used to access the low-voltage side of the power transformer, and the signal acquisition relay module is connected to a differential acquisition circuit, the differential acquisition circuit is connected to an analog-to-digital conversion circuit through an operational amplifier circuit, the analog-to-digital conversion circuit is connected to a single-chip microcomputer, and the single-chip microcomputer is also respectively connected to a signal acquisition relay module, a signal output relay module and a power amplifier circuit; the signal output relay module includes multiple parallel relays for combining output signals to the high-voltage side of the power transformer according to test requirements; the signal acquisition relay module also includes multiple parallel relays for receiving the output signal passing through the power transformer. In this embodiment, the aforementioned single-chip microcomputer is used to output an SPWM control signal to the power amplifier circuit, and control the on and off of the signal output relay module and the relay in the output relay module, and receive the transformation ratio test signal of the power transformer from the output relay module through the differential acquisition circuit and the operational amplifier circuit.

[0013] Furthermore, a high-voltage side output control circuit is connected between the signal output relay module and the test high-voltage side of the power transformer, and a low-voltage acquisition circuit is connected between the signal acquisition relay module and the low-voltage side of the power transformer. Figure 1 As shown, the single chip microcomputer is also connected to a display screen, a Bluetooth module and a USB communication module respectively.

[0014] In this embodiment, by designing a power amplifier circuit connected to the power supply and cooperating with the transformer inverter, the power supply can provide a measurement signal through the three-phase SPWM inverter circuit. After passing through the primary and secondary coils of the power transformer under test, the collected signal is transmitted to the single-chip microcomputer after analog-to-digital conversion, thereby completing the three-phase ratio test at one time, making the ratio test of the power transformer more convenient and quick.

[0015] As Figure 1 As described in the above embodiments, the power transformer ratio tester provided by the present invention is implemented as follows:

[0016] First, the power supply provides the measurement signal through a three-phase SPWM inverter circuit. Specifically, the microcontroller outputs the SPWM signal, which then passes through a subsequent power amplifier circuit and is then converted into a 50Hz AC signal by the instrument's internal transformer inverter. The signal is coupled by the processor and output with a controllable output range. The power amplifier circuit ensures a more stable output signal. The AO4264 is used in the inverter circuit, along with specially designed peripheral components, to achieve higher efficiency and output power than conventional inverter circuits.

[0017] The measurement signal is output through the high-voltage side signal relay control circuit and controlled by different combinations of 12 relays. For different wiring and different phase tests, the output signal needs to be combined to the corresponding interface of the transformer under test. The transformer ratio under test can be tested. The required wiring modifications are automatically completed by the instrument through the relay, and one-click testing can be performed when testing the parameters of the transformer under test.

[0018] The output signal from the high-voltage side output signal relay control circuit passes through the primary and secondary coils of the transformer under test, then through the low-voltage side signal acquisition relay circuit. Six relays control the signal reception, automatically switching the signal input port when the instrument requires individual group tests, allowing for automated completion of different group tests. The relay modules for output and acquisition signals are controlled by a single-chip microcomputer, enabling single-button control and complete testing of all transformer parameters. This is a more intelligent and automated approach compared to conventional ratio testers that require manual wiring modification to prevent test interference.

[0019] The collected signal is differentially collected by a high-precision operational amplifier circuit, and after passing through the analog-to-digital conversion circuit, the data is transmitted to the microcontroller for processing, calculation and display.

[0020] The meter has a built-in Bluetooth module that allows Bluetooth communication with mobile phone software and can also be connected to a Bluetooth printer to print test data in real time. The meter also has a built-in USB communication circuit that supports USB flash drive data export and can also be connected to a host computer software to read meter data.

Design of SPWM three-phase inverter system based on STM32 [J]. Journal of Shaoyang University (Natural Science Edition), 2019, 16(02): 15-21". The differential acquisition circuit and the operational amplifier circuit can be transplanted using existing circuits on the market; the inventor of the transformer inverter purchased a finished transformer inverter from Guangzhou Pinyou Electronics Co., Ltd. during the experiment. The model of the above-mentioned single-chip computer is STM32F103RCT6.
