[0002] With the continuous advancement of smart grid construction, medium-voltage lines occupy an important position in modern power systems. To improve power supply service quality, China Southern Power Grid Company has made a service commitment requiring rapid fault location and swift power restoration after a medium-voltage line outage. Currently, medium-voltage lines are equipped with numerous intelligent switches, testing instruments, and relay protection devices. These devices are powered through a three-phase five-limb voltage transformer with a neutral point grounded connection to ensure their normal operation. However, when a line experiences a fault outage, the traditional method for fault location and diagnosis involves using specialized equipment to connect cables and output approximately 10kV DC. Because the voltage transformer's neutral point is grounded, manually removing the grounding conductor is necessary for fault location and diagnosis, significantly delaying power restoration and failing to meet the requirement for rapid power restoration.

The other end of the connecting wire extends outward. One end of the connecting plate is connected to the connecting component located at the lower end of the isolation cylinder, and the other end extends outward.
[0028] Next, the working principle of this embodiment will be described in detail so that those skilled in the art can better understand this utility model:
[0029] This utility model is connected in series with the neutral point grounding wire of a three-phase five-limb voltage transformer. The cover serves a sealing function; the isolation cylinder is made of insulating material and serves an insulating function; one end of the connecting plate extending outward is fixed to the base of the three-phase five-limb voltage transformer, and the other end of the connecting wire extending outward is connected to the neutral point grounding wire of the three-phase five-limb voltage transformer. When using dedicated equipment to output DC power, the isolation cylinder can isolate the DC power, allowing workers to locate the fault point without manually removing the grounding wire, thus achieving rapid fault location.
