Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of electric power testing, and in particular relates to a partial discharge testing system for an excitation transformer. Background Art
[0002] In the context of the rapid development of the modern power industry, excitation transformers play a vital role in thermal power generation units. As a core component of the power system, the insulation performance of the excitation transformer affects the reliability and stability of the power system. Partial discharge (PD) is a phenomenon that occurs during the insulation degradation process of equipment such as transformers. It typically occurs within or on the surface of the insulating material, causing localized breakdown of the dielectric due to excessive local electric field strength. Although this discharge phenomenon may not be easily detected at first, if not controlled and treated, it will gradually worsen and eventually lead to insulation failure, affecting the safe operation of the entire power system.
[0003] To ensure the long-term stability of the power system, it is particularly important to perform partial discharge detection on the excitation transformer. Partial discharge detection technology can promptly detect potential defects in the insulation system of the excitation transformer. By analyzing the characteristics and patterns of the discharge, the insulation condition can be evaluated, thereby preventing the occurrence of faults. However, traditional partial discharge test equipment for excitation transformers generally uses partial discharge test equipment for conventional large transformers, which has many problems in practical applications. First, these devices are usually large in size and heavy in weight, making transportation and handling inconvenient, especially in space-constrained field environments. In particular, in some remote or complex terrain power stations, the transportation and deployment of large equipment has become a major challenge. Second, the operation of traditional equipment is complex and requires professional personnel for operation and maintenance, which not only increases the cost of the test, but also prolongs the test time. In addition, the reliability of the test results when using large-capacity equipment as a substitute for testing remains to be investigated.
[0004] Therefore, traditional excitation transformer partial discharge test equipment has significant limitations in practical applications. These issues restrict the efficiency and effectiveness of partial discharge tests and pose a potential threat to the safe operation of power systems. There is an urgent need for an excitation transformer partial discharge test system to address these issues and improve test efficiency and accuracy. Utility Model Content

[0032] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0033] Example 1
[0034] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides an excitation transformer partial discharge test system, including a triple frequency transformer 1, an isolation transformer 2, a control circuit 10, a measurement circuit 11, a partial discharge measurement module 12 and an excitation transformer 5;
[0035] The triple frequency transformer 1 is composed of a single-phase transformer T1, a single-phase transformer T2, and a single-phase transformer T3. Their primary sides are connected in a star configuration and their secondary sides are connected in an open triangle configuration. The rated capacity of each single-phase transformer is 50 kVA and the rated voltage is 380 V / 20 kV.
[0036] The isolation transformer 2 uses a 50 kVA isolation transformer 2, which is used to isolate the alternating voltage output by the triple frequency transformer 1 and provide resistive load and inductive load to ensure that the alternating voltage has a standard sinusoidal waveform.
[0037] The measurement circuit 11 includes a high-precision voltage transformer 3 and a current transformer 4, which are used to monitor the alternating voltage and corresponding current of the triple frequency transformer in real time.
[0038] The control circuit 10 is a microprocessor-based control unit for receiving data from the measurement circuit 11 and adjusting the output of the triple frequency transformer 1 according to preset parameters to ensure the accuracy and safety of the test.
[0039] In addition, the control circuit 10 performs coordinated control based on communication data, interface data, etc., has a human-machine friendly operation interface, and is equipped with a screen display that can display key parameters such as output voltage, current, frequency, and fault information prompts in real time.
[0040] The excitation transformer 5 (tested product) is a three-phase oil-immersed excitation transformer with a rated capacity of 500 kVA. The high-voltage side winding of the excitation transformer is connected to the partial discharge measurement module 12 .
[0041] The partial discharge measurement module 12 includes a coupling capacitor 6, an impedance box 7, and a partial discharge tester 8. The coupling capacitor 6 has a rated voltage of 30 kV and a capacitance of 0.1 μF; the impedance of the impedance box 7 is 100 Ω; and the partial discharge tester 8 has a sensitivity of 0.1 pC. It is used to set the test parameters of the excitation transformer 5 and detect the partial discharge amount of the excitation transformer 5.
[0042] The test steps of the excitation transformer partial discharge test system are as follows:
[0043] Connect the primary side of the triple frequency transformer 1 to a three-phase power supply of 380V AC;
[0044] The output of the triple frequency transformer is adjusted by the control circuit 10 so that a 150 Hz alternating voltage is generated on its secondary side;
[0045] The output voltage of the triple frequency transformer 1 is adjusted to a voltage level suitable for testing the excitation transformer 5 using the isolation transformer 2 .
[0046] Connect the high-voltage side winding of the excitation transformer 5 to the partial discharge measurement module 12 through the coupling capacitor 6 and the impedance box 7;
[0047] Start the partial discharge tester 8 and set appropriate test parameters, such as test voltage, test frequency and test time;
[0048] The triple frequency transformer 1 is started by the control circuit 10, and the test voltage of the excitation transformer 5 is gradually increased, while the output of the partial discharge measurement module 12 is monitored;
[0049] The partial discharge activity detected by the partial discharge tester 8 is recorded, and the insulation state of the excitation transformer 5 is analyzed.
[0050] Analysis of test results:
[0051] If the partial discharge amount detected by the partial discharge tester 8 is lower than the set threshold, it indicates that the insulation performance of the excitation transformer 5 is good; if the partial discharge amount exceeds the threshold, it is necessary to further analyze the location and cause of the partial discharge and take corresponding maintenance or replacement measures.
[0052] In this embodiment, when conducting a partial discharge test on the excitation transformer 5, after ensuring that the input power is normal, the control circuit 10 activates the triple frequency transformer 1. At this point, the triple frequency transformer 1 is powered on and automatically enters standby mode. Subsequently, the measurement function is activated, and the measurement circuit 11 immediately begins real-time monitoring and recording the output voltage and current data of the triple frequency transformer 1, transmitting this data to the control circuit 10. The control circuit 10 analyzes this data in real time, compares it with preset test parameters, and adjusts the output of the triple frequency transformer 1 accordingly to ensure that the test is conducted accurately according to the established parameters. When the output of the triple frequency transformer 1 reaches a preset safety or performance threshold, the voltage is no longer increased. Throughout the test, the control circuit 10 also monitors the operating status of the power supply in real time. If any abnormality is detected, the output power is immediately cut off to protect the equipment and ensure the safety of the test personnel. Simultaneously, the control circuit 10 displays fault information on a display in real time, providing detailed information on the fault type and occurrence time, allowing the operator to quickly identify the problem and take appropriate measures. This process not only improves test efficiency but also ensures test safety and data accuracy.
[0053] This embodiment uses a triple-frequency transformer 1 as the power supply. This innovative design significantly improves the portability and practicality of the system. The triple-frequency transformer 1 generates a 150Hz frequency output through the combination of three single-phase transformers, which not only simplifies the equipment structure but also improves the flexibility and adaptability of the test. The system is particularly suitable for on-site use and can maintain good waveform quality even with low capacity, reducing the risk of resonance with the test object. The design of this system fully considers the ease of operation and safety of the test. The design of the control circuit 10 and the measurement circuit 11 enables precise control of the test process, including real-time adjustment of frequency, voltage, and current. The system is also equipped with a grounding device to ensure the safety of test personnel and equipment. In terms of structural design, this system adopts a modular design for easy transportation and on-site assembly. The system's user-friendly operating interface makes the test process more intuitive and convenient. The excitation transformer partial discharge test system proposed in this embodiment, through technological innovation, overcomes the limitations of traditional equipment in excitation transformer partial discharge testing, improves the efficiency and accuracy of the test, and provides a strong guarantee for the safe operation of the power system.
