Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of insulation material testing and relates to a device for testing direct current leakage current of an insulating water pipe. Background Art
[0002] During high-voltage generator operation, leakage current flows between the high-voltage terminal and the ground. While small leakage currents do not affect generator performance, increased leakage currents indicate potential moisture, dirt, carbonization, or cracking on the insulation surface, as well as internal cracking. In severe cases, this can cause surface flashover or even insulation breakdown, threatening the generator's operational safety. The insulated water pipe, connected between the high-voltage generator and the ground, carries leakage current. Testing the pipe's ability to withstand high voltages—that is, measuring the leakage current—is crucial. The principle of DC leakage current measurement is essentially the same as that of insulation resistance, except that DC leakage current measurement operates at a higher DC voltage and is infinitely adjustable. Measuring DC leakage current at high voltage allows for more timely and accurate detection of insulation defects, offering greater sensitivity and effectiveness. The existing high-voltage DC leakage current test method consists of a DC high-voltage source, a voltage divider, an insulated water pipe, a connecting wire and a ground wire. The insulated water pipe is placed on an insulating bracket, one end is connected to the DC high voltage, and the other side is connected to the ground wire. This wiring method has the main problems of an unstable insulated water pipe, a loose connecting wire, and easy contamination of the bracket leakage current, resulting in inaccurate test results.

The grounding wire is fixed on the hanging insulator string and is in a suspended state. In the connected line, one side of the insulated water diversion pipe is fixed on the high-voltage end clamp, and the other side is fixed on the grounding end clamp.
