Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of traveling wave measurement, specifically to a high and low traveling wave measurement system for rail transit power supply cables. Background Technology
[0002] The statements in this section are provided only as background information in connection with this disclosure and may not constitute prior art.
[0003] Existing traveling wave monitoring devices typically employ a threshold-triggered data acquisition mechanism for acquiring current signals from power supply cables in rail transit. When a fault occurs in the transmission line, the traveling wave current amplitude must reach a preset trigger threshold before the device will initiate high-speed sampling and store the fault data.
[0004] However, this triggering mechanism has inherent flaws:
[0005] In the initial stage of a fault, the amplitude of the traveling wave current increases exponentially from zero. When the trigger threshold is reached, the device can only record the current waveform above the threshold. The transient process information below the threshold in the initial stage of the fault is completely lost because it does not enter the sampling and storage stage. This data truncation phenomenon results in the missing key characteristic parameters of the initial traveling wave head in the recorded fault waveform, especially the inability to fully capture transient characteristics that reflect the fault type, such as the traveling wave front steepness and initial phase.
[0006] Therefore, under the requirement of high-precision fault location in rail transit power supply systems, the lack of waveform data generated by existing technologies will directly affect the accuracy of traveling wave velocity calculation, resulting in increased fault ranging error. Furthermore, it is difficult to reconstruct the complete fault transient process waveform through existing sampling mechanisms, which has become the main bottleneck restricting the improvement of traveling wave ranging technology.

[0009] A system for measuring the high and low traveling waves of rail transit power supply cables includes:
[0010] The signal sampling module includes a first Rogowski coil electronic current transformer and a second Rogowski coil electronic current transformer. The measurement accuracy of the first Rogowski coil electronic current transformer is higher than that of the second Rogowski coil electronic current transformer, and the anti-saturation capability of the second Rogowski coil electronic current transformer is stronger than that of the first Rogowski coil electronic current transformer.
[0011] The multiplexer module connects to the output terminals of the first and second Rogowski coil electronic current transformers and receives the channel selection signal from the DSP control module to achieve channel switching.
[0012] The integrating circuit module performs integration and conversion on the voltage signal output by the multiplexer module;
[0013] The A / D conversion module converts the integrated analog signal into a digital signal, and its output is connected to the FIFO storage module and the current comparison module, respectively.

[0015] The DSP control module can set preset thresholds, send corresponding channel selection signals based on the comparison results of the current comparison module, and read, store, and splice data in the FIFO storage module to restore complete fault current information.
[0016] Furthermore, the first Rogowski coil electronic current transformer is used to acquire the current signal for measurement.
[0017] Furthermore, a second Rogowski coil electronic current transformer is used to acquire fault current signals.
[0018] Furthermore, the multiplexer module uses a multiplexer analog switch CD4067 to determine which current transformer output is activated based on the channel selection signal from the DSP control module.
[0019] Furthermore, the A / D conversion module is clocked by the DSP control module to control the sampling frequency.
[0020] Furthermore, once the FIFO storage module is fully loaded, it sends an interrupt signal to the DSP control module.
[0021] Furthermore, the current comparison module is a 16-bit comparator composed of five 74HC85 four-bit numerical comparators connected in parallel. It receives the data converted by the A / D conversion module and compares it with the threshold set by the DSP control module.
[0022] Furthermore, the workflow of the DSP control module includes:
[0023] Step S1: Initialize the measurement channel to the first Rogowski coil electronic current transformer;
[0024] Step S2: Real-time monitoring of the current comparison module output;
[0025] Step S3: When the detected current value exceeds the threshold, a channel switching command is issued;
[0026] Step S4: Control the multiplexer to switch to the second Rogowski coil electronic current transformer;
[0027] Step S5: Read the measurement data stored before the switch from the FIFO storage module;
[0028] Step S6: Combine the measurement data before and after the switch.
[0029] Furthermore, the splicing in step S6 is based on timestamps.
[0030] Furthermore, the splicing includes:
[0031] An interpolation algorithm is used to fit the data at the switching time point to form complete fault current data.
[0032] Compared with existing technologies, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0033] This invention achieves precise acquisition of measurement current signals and fault current signals. Utilizing dual current transformer switching and a FIFO storage module, it improves measurement accuracy and anti-saturation capability, enabling complete acquisition of fault current information and providing more comprehensive and accurate data support for subsequent traveling wave analysis. Testing showed that the errors in all indicators for measuring 8 / 20μs impulse current and 30 / 60μs operating impulse current were less than 5%. Attached Figure Description
