Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of power testing equipment, and specifically relates to a DC test transmitter with self-calibration function. Background Technology

[0002] The DC power supply tester is a high-voltage testing instrument commonly used in 10kV and below distribution network lines and equipment. It has a significant effect in finding ground faults and overcomes the accident hazards caused by traditional power supply based on line insulation.

[0003] The working principle of a DC power transmitter is as follows: it inputs a high-voltage DC signal to the line under test and then detects the leakage current of the line to determine whether there is a grounding or phase-to-phase short circuit fault. When a grounding or phase-to-phase short circuit is found in the line, the DC power transmitter will trip and stop outputting high-voltage DC. Therefore, the accuracy of the voltage output of the DC power transmitter directly affects the accuracy of the test results. Typically, testers need to periodically inspect the DC power transmitter to verify its output voltage, output current, and control accuracy. However, due to various influencing factors such as the frequency of use, operating environment, and transportation process of the DC power transmitter at different times, the internal components of the DC power transmitter may age prematurely or fail, causing the DC power transmitter to malfunction. Existing DC power transmitters lack self-calibration functions, and relying solely on periodic inspections makes it difficult for testers to detect faults in a timely manner. When the DC voltage output by the DC power transmitter does not reach the set value or is unstable during use, the accuracy of the test results will be affected, and testers will be unable to identify potential insulation faults in the line based on the power transmitter's output.

[0004] In view of this, the present invention proposes a DC test transmitter with self-calibration function to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0032] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:

[0033] Before testing the circuit under test, the testers inserted the standard resistor module 4 into the housing 1, and connected the third standard resistor R3 to the voltage doubler rectifier module 1012 of the high-voltage generator module 101 as the load of the voltage doubler rectifier module 1012. The self-calibration program was started via the button module 3, causing the high-voltage generator module 101 to output voltage signals at five levels: 400V, 1KV, 4kV, 6kV, and 8kV, each lasting 10 seconds. The microcontroller 103 collected the current value of the third standard resistor R3 through the measurement module 102, and then calculated the actual output voltage of the high-voltage generator module 101 based on the resistance value of the third standard resistor R3. When the microcontroller 103 detected that the user-set voltage matched the voltage of the high-voltage generator module 101, the test was completed. When the actual output voltage difference of 01 is greater than the set threshold (5% of the set voltage), the microcontroller 103 controls the display and voice module 2 to output the text and voice alarm "output voltage low". When the microcontroller 103 detects through the measurement module 102 that the voltage fluctuation across the third standard resistor R3 exceeds 5% of the set voltage, the microcontroller 103 controls the display and voice module 2 to output the text and voice alarm "output voltage abnormal". When the microcontroller 103 detects through the measurement module 102 that the current value flowing through the third standard resistor R3 exceeds the user-set threshold, it indicates that there is a short circuit fault in the instrument. The microcontroller 103 controls the electronic boost module 1011 to stop outputting and controls the automatic discharge module 105 to discharge.

[0034] The microcontroller 103 acquires the current values ​​across the first standard resistor R1 and the second standard resistor R2 through the measurement module 102, and then calculates the voltage values ​​across the first standard resistor R1 and the second standard resistor R2 based on their resistance values, thereby monitoring the input pulse voltage of the high-frequency step-up transformer T1. On the one hand, this reduces the troubleshooting scope when the DC tester malfunctions and improves the troubleshooting efficiency of the DC tester. On the other hand, when the microcontroller 103 detects through the measurement module 102 that the currents across the first standard resistor R1 and the second standard resistor R2 are in phase, the microcontroller 103 controls the electronic step-up module 1011 to stop outputting and controls the display and voice module 2 to output a text and voice alarm for "electronic step-up module fault," preventing the IGBT transistors in the electronic step-up module 1011 from being directly connected, which could cause a short circuit at the input of the high-frequency step-up transformer T1.

[0035] Temperature sensor 104 is used to collect temperature data in the environment. Microcontroller 103 collects temperature data from temperature sensor 104 and calculates the actual resistance values ​​of the first standard resistor R1, the second standard resistor R2 and the third standard resistor R3 of standard resistor module 4, thereby improving the accuracy of voltage calculation for the first standard resistor R1, the second standard resistor R2 and the third standard resistor R3.

[0036] Timer 1061 is used to record the time when the microcontroller 103 detects a fault in the high voltage generating module 101, and memory 1062 is used to store the fault information of the high voltage generating module 101.

[0037] The testers connected the fault simulation module 5 to the high-voltage output terminal 6 and the grounding terminal 7 respectively, and then adjusted the distance between the conductive part 5021 and the electrode 5011. By operating the button module 3, the high-voltage generating module 101 outputs DC high voltage. Under the action of high voltage, a discharge phenomenon occurs between the conductive part 5021 and the electrode 5011. The output terminal of the voltage doubler rectifier module 1012 detects a leakage current higher than the rated current output by the DC test instrument. After the microcontroller 103 detects the leakage current at the voltage doubler rectifier module 1012 through the measurement module 102, the microcontroller 103 outputs a control signal to the high-voltage generating module 101 to stop its output, and controls the automatic discharge module 105 to discharge the high-voltage generating module 101, thus realizing the detection of the fault detection function of the DC test instrument.

These descriptions are not intended to limit the invention to the precise forms disclosed, and it will be apparent that many changes and variations can be made in accordance with the foregoing teachings.
