Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fault diagnosis of overhead power transmission networks, specifically to a non-contact power transmission network fault diagnosis device and system. Background Technology

[0002] The safety, reliability, and stability of high-voltage overhead transmission networks are becoming increasingly important for our economic development. However, high-voltage overhead transmission lines are long, complex, span wide areas, and are subject to variable weather conditions. When a fault occurs, it is difficult for maintenance personnel to quickly inspect and troubleshoot the line. Furthermore, failing to locate the fault point quickly can severely impact the operational reliability of the power grid. This necessitates a fault location device that can rapidly and accurately provide the fault location and type, enabling maintenance personnel to identify and quickly locate the fault in advance.

[0003] Currently used fault location devices are mostly contact-type devices. However, contact-type devices need to be installed on high-voltage conductors and rely on current transformers (CTs) for power. This means that the fault type identification and location accuracy of the fault location device are affected by the complex electromagnetic field of the conductor, high-voltage discharge corona, and conductor fatigue. Moreover, contact-type devices must be installed at height during power outages. Power outages affect the State Grid's power outage plans, and installation at heights poses personal safety risks. These factors greatly limit the scope of application of contact-type devices.

[0004] Therefore, designing a fault diagnosis device that does not require high-altitude installation and avoids the influence of conductor contact will greatly improve the accuracy of fault type identification and fault location accuracy, which is of great significance for improving the operation and maintenance efficiency of transmission lines and ensuring the reliable and stable operation of the lines.
