Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of transformer testing technology, and in particular to an automatic switching device for transformer safety testing. Background Technology

[0002] To ensure the safe and stable operation of transformers and prevent serious electrical accidents caused by insulation problems, withstand voltage testing is an essential inspection step. Through withstand voltage testing, it is possible to promptly determine whether the transformer's insulation meets the corresponding safety requirements, thereby ensuring the safe and reliable operation of the entire power system and related equipment.

[0003] Traditional testing methods involve a step-by-step process, requiring four independent withstand voltage tests. Furthermore, wiring must be changed before each test, making the entire testing procedure extremely complex and cumbersome. Secondly, the need for multiple manual wiring changes leads to excessively long testing times, severely impacting production efficiency. More importantly, this traditional testing method is prone to missed or incorrect tests. Such omissions or errors could result in products with poor insulation withstand voltage entering the market or subsequent use, posing significant safety hazards and economic losses to related equipment, systems, and even the entire power grid. Therefore, further improvements are needed. Utility Model Content

[0012] The power cord passes through the wiring hole on the left side of the casing and extends into the casing to connect with the control board for power supply.

[0013] High voltage access line one, which passes through the wiring hole on the left side of the housing and extends into the housing, is electrically connected to test line one and test line two, which pass through the wiring hole on the right side, respectively, via two switch switches on the upper side;

[0014] High-voltage access line 2 extends into the housing through the wiring hole on the left side and connects to test line 2, test line 3, test line 4, and test line 5, which pass through the wiring hole on the right side, respectively, via four switching switches on the lower side.

[0015] Test line 1, test line 2, test line 3, test line 4, and test line 5 are used to electrically connect to the two ends of the output winding of the transformer under test, the two ends of the input winding of the transformer, and the transformer casing, respectively. High voltage access line 1 and high voltage access line 2 are electrically connected to the two high voltage probes of the external safety tester, respectively.

[0016] Furthermore, an indicator light assembly is also provided on the side wall of the housing. The indicator light assembly is electrically connected to the control board via wires and is used to display test results.

High-voltage access lines 1 and 2 are electrically connected to the two high-voltage probes of the external safety testing instrument. The test signal is then transmitted to the control board via a communication line to control the switching switch to connect different test objects. This allows the four steps required for traditional testing (input to output, input to casing, output to casing, and single winding insulation test) to be completed with a single wiring operation. The operator only needs to complete the wiring operation once before starting the test, greatly reducing manual intervention and operational complexity, making the entire testing process simpler and more efficient.

[0030] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, an embodiment of this utility model is an automatic switching device for transformer safety testing. Importantly, it includes:

[0033] There are six toggle switches 30, which are mounted on the bottom of the housing 10 via mounting plate 40.

[0034] The control board 50 is located at the bottom of the housing 10. The control board 50 is electrically connected to six switch 30s via wires and is used to control the switch 30s.

[0035] The communication line 60 passes through the wiring hole 12 on the left side of the housing 10 and extends into the housing 10 to be electrically connected to the control board 50, which is used for the control board 50 to communicate with the external safety tester.

[0036] The power cord 70 passes through the wiring hole 12 on the left side of the housing 10 and extends into the housing 10 to be electrically connected to the control board 50 for power supply.

[0037] High voltage access line 80 passes through the wiring hole 12 on the left side of the housing 10 and extends into the housing 10. It is electrically connected to test line 90 and test line 100 passing through the wiring hole 12 on the right side through the two switching switches 30 on the upper side, respectively.

[0038] High voltage access line 2 110 passes through the wiring hole 12 on the left side of the housing 10 and extends into the housing 10. It is connected to test line 2 100, test line 3 120, test line 4 130 and test line 5 140 passing through the wiring hole 12 on the right side through the four switching switches 30 on the lower side.

[0039] Test leads 1 (90), 2 (100), 3 (120), 4 (130), and 5 (140) are used to electrically connect to the two ends of the output winding, the two ends of the input winding, and the transformer casing of the transformer under test, respectively. High-voltage access leads 1 (80) and 2 (110) are used to electrically connect to the two high-voltage probes of the external safety testing instrument. The typical wiring method is as follows: test leads 1 (90) and 3 (120) are electrically connected to the two ends of the input winding of the transformer; test leads 2 (100) and 4 (130) are used to electrically connect to the two ends of the output winding of the transformer, respectively; and test lead 5 (140) is used to electrically connect to the transformer casing.

[0040] The main feature of this invention is the addition of an automatic switching device to the traditional safety testing instrument. Test leads 1 (90), 2 (100), 3 (120), 4 (130), and 5 (140) are used to electrically connect to the two ends of the output winding, the two ends of the input winding, and the transformer casing of the transformer under test, respectively.

Operators only need to complete the wiring operation once before starting the test, greatly reducing manual intervention and operational complexity, making the entire testing process simpler and more efficient.

The display screen assembly 160 is electrically connected to the control board 50 through wires to display test information for easy viewing.

Of course, other types of adaptable, automatically controllable switching components can also be used.
