Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of transformer temperature measurement, in particular to an RTD direct resistance measurement device for measuring temperature of a dry-type transformer. Background Art
[0002] In a hydropower station's power system, the excitation transformer and the auxiliary high-voltage transformer are two key components of the system. These transformers typically utilize a dry, air-cooled design, offering superior safety and environmental performance. Temperature monitoring is crucial to ensure reliable operation of these transformers. Currently, maintenance personnel primarily use digital multimeters for point-to-point measurements, placing the multimeter probes directly on the DB (D-sub) connector pins of the RTD leads. This presents the following challenges: 1. The DB connector pins are small, requiring steady, precise manual operation. 2. Unstable contact between the probes and the pins can cause fluctuations in measurement values, impacting data accuracy. 3. Each phase RTD is typically configured with two sets, one for primary and one for backup, each with two channels. Multiple measurements are required for each transformer, typically taking approximately an hour and significantly extending maintenance cycles. 4. The excitation transformer uses a DB15 connector, while the auxiliary high-voltage transformer uses a DB25 connector. These different pin configurations increase operational complexity and can easily lead to measurement errors. Utility Model Content

[0018] Specifically, the temperature measuring RTD is divided into a first temperature measuring RTD and a second temperature measuring RTD; wherein, the first temperature measuring RTD is fixedly set at the factory high-voltage transformer winding, and the second temperature measuring RTD is fixedly set at the excitation transformer winding. The access port of the first temperature measuring RTD lead-out line corresponds to the first female interface, and the access port of the second temperature measuring RTD lead-out line corresponds to the second female interface.
