[0020] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of this application more clear, the following further describes this application in detail in conjunction with the embodiments and drawings. Here, the illustrative embodiments of this application and their descriptions are used to explain this application, but are not intended to limit this application.

[0021] This application provides a power supply cable ground fault detection and indication device, which is used to find the ground fault point of the power supply cable and can automatically determine the ground fault phase of the cable. Figures 1 to 2The device includes a housing 1; a detection circuit board disposed within the housing 1; and a liquid crystal display 2 and illuminated touch button 3 modules disposed on the housing 1. The detection circuit board is equipped with a DC battery, an inverter, a residual current transformer, a control module, and a relay module. The output of the DC battery is electrically connected to the input of the inverter. The output of the inverter is connected to a five-core cable comprising phases A, B, C, N, and PE. The coil of the residual current transformer is mounted on the phases A, B, C, and N. The relay module includes three sets of relays, each connected to the phases A, B, and C. The residual current transformer and relay module are both electrically connected to the control module. The LCD 2 and illuminated touch button 3 modules are both electrically connected to the control module. The housing 1 is provided with a wiring hole, through which the end of the five-core cable passes and connects to one end of the cable under test. The N and PE wires are connected together at the front end of the five-core cable. The end of the five-core cable is connected with different types of clips to accommodate cables of different wire diameters and wiring arrangements. The control module includes a controller chip and a memory chip, which is electrically connected to the controller chip.

[0022] The present application also includes a power switch, which is set on the power supply circuit of the device to control the on and off of the power supply. The lighted touch button 3 module includes an A-phase voltage control button, a B-phase voltage control button, a C-phase voltage control button, a confirmation button, and an automatic detection button.

[0023] like Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the ends of the five-core cable include A, B, C, N, and PE. When performing ground fault detection, they are respectively connected to the A, B, C, N, and PE lines of the line cable to be tested. The N and PE ends of the front end of the five-core cable are connected together. During detection, the fault is first confirmed, and then the A-phase voltage control button is pressed. The controller controls the corresponding relay to turn on, and applies a 36V AC safety voltage between the A-phase cable and the N-phase cable that have been disconnected from the power supply. The A-phase voltage value is displayed on the LCD 2. The PE end of the device is connected to the PE line of the outgoing cable and to the ground terminal of the distribution cabinet (if the cable does not have a PE line, it is directly connected to the ground terminal of the distribution cabinet). Figure 2As shown. The device incorporates a residual current transformer to detect residual current variations. Pressing the confirm button stores the measured data in memory and displays the residual current value on the display. Using the same method, a 36V AC voltage is applied between cables BN and CN (applying voltage between only one phase and the N phase at a time). The residual current in cables ABCN is measured. Based on the residual current values, the ground fault in the phase with the highest residual current value can be determined. If the residual current values ​​measured for all three phases are similar, the ground fault in phase N is determined. For example, if phase C is grounded, the residual current in cables ABCN measured with 36V AC applied to CN (PE) will be significantly higher than that measured with voltage applied to AN (PE) or BN (PE). The device displays the test results on the LCD screen. Since the device output is already connected to each cable phase via thin cables, pressing the illuminated touch button (auto) automatically completes the above operation and displays the test results, achieving automatic detection without the need to manually change the test phase.

[0024] After determining which phase of the cable has a ground fault, you can continuously apply a 36V voltage to the phase cable, use the dichotomy method or untie the cable joints before and after the suspected cable ground fault point, and measure the residual current values ​​of cables ABCN at the same time. Based on whether the residual current value changes suddenly when the fault phase cable head is untied, you can determine which section of the cable has a ground fault. Figure 2As shown in the figure, consider a ground fault in phase C of a streetlight cable. If a ground fault occurs in phase C, a 36V AC voltage is applied between phases C and N, while measuring the residual current in cables ABCN. When cable head 1 of phase C is untied, the measured residual current decreases significantly, indicating the ground fault has been resolved. Therefore, the cable ground fault is determined to be behind cable head 1. When cable head 3 of phase C is untied, the measured residual current does not change significantly, indicating the ground fault has not been resolved. Therefore, the cable ground fault is determined to be ahead of cable head 3. Continuing to untie cable head 2 toward cable head 1, the measured residual current does not change significantly, indicating the ground fault is ahead of cable head 2. Since there are no more cable heads to untie between cable heads 1 and 2, the ground fault in phase C is determined to be between segments 1 and 2. The above method can also be used to locate the ground fault points in phases A and B. Although phases A, B, and C are connected together through a load, the residual current values ​​of each phase will affect each other. Each phase in the line may have multiple points of poor insulation to ground. However, by removing the cable connectors and comparing the difference in residual current values ​​between ABCN before and after removal, we can identify the section with the largest change in residual current value, thereby confirming the location of the most severe ground fault in the cable. Absolute accuracy of residual current measurements at every point in the line cable is not required, as this avoids influencing factors. If multiple ground fault points exist, they can be eliminated one by one based on the points where the residual current value changes.

[0025] like Figure 3 As shown, if the residual current values ​​measured in the three phases are similar, it is determined that a ground fault has occurred in the N-phase cable. When detecting a ground fault in the N-phase cable, swap the output end of the 36V power supply with the previous connection method. For example, the C-phase of the cable (any live wire can be selected) is connected to the N-phase end of the device through a thin cable, the PE end of the device is still connected to the PE line of the cable, and the N-phase of the cable is connected to the C-phase end of the device through a thin cable. In this way, there is a higher voltage on the N-phase cable, and the residual current value of the measured cable will be relatively high, which helps to determine in which section the ground fault point of the N-phase cable is.

[0026] During testing, regardless of which two phases a 36V voltage is applied, the residual current values ​​of cables ABCN are measured each time. The phase with the largest value is identified as the faulty phase. The specific location of the fault point is determined by the sudden change in the residual current value when the faulty phase cable head is uncoupled. This device can be widely used to locate grounding faults in cables in various fields, such as street lighting circuits and power supply lines.

[0027] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that various modifications and variations of the present embodiment are possible. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present application shall be included within the scope of protection of the present application.
