Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of current transformer testing, and in particular relates to a current transformer polarity tester based on wireless communication technology. Background Technology

[0002] In modern power systems, current transformers are indispensable key devices, and the accuracy of their polarity plays a decisive role in the core functions of accurate metering and reliable protection. Traditional manual current transformer polarity testing methods have many inherent drawbacks. For example, testers must carry a large number of complex test cables and perform tedious connection operations when working in the field. This not only consumes a lot of time and energy, but also makes the testing process susceptible to adverse factors such as electromagnetic interference, low signal-to-noise ratio, and human error in complex and variable field environments. This results in low efficiency and a high risk of misjudgment, making it difficult to meet the urgent needs of modern power systems for efficient and accurate testing.

[0003] Currently available current transformer testing instruments are generally geared towards distribution cabinet scenarios, lacking design and development for the practical application of outdoor high-voltage current transformer polarity testing. Considering the outdoor environment and large size of power transformers, which differ significantly from distribution cabinet scenarios, and the fact that actual construction sites typically involve large outdoor high-voltage transformers with the primary busbar and current transformer mounted on top, existing current transformer testing instruments have significant shortcomings in practicality. Furthermore, existing current transformer polarity testing equipment is a one-piece design, requiring three repeated operations (testing A, B, and C phases of AC separately), resulting in low efficiency. It also requires at least 6 meters of primary side signal transmission cable, which is heavy and inconvenient to carry, failing to adapt well to actual operating environments and exhibiting significant limitations in adaptability. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of the existing technology, the technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a current transformer polarity tester based on wireless communication technology that can break through the working mode of existing test equipment, has high scenario capability, and provides convenient, efficient and accurate testing.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0006] A current transformer polarity tester based on wireless communication technology includes a master unit and three slave units. The master unit and the three slave units transmit data based on wireless communication technology. The three slave units are electrically connected to the busbars of the three phase voltages on the primary side of the current transformer, respectively, and are used to generate test signals of specified frequency and amplitude, and output the test signals to the busbars of the three phase voltages on the primary side of the current transformer.

[0007] The host unit is used to sense the three phase voltages on the secondary side of the current transformer, generate corresponding sensing signals, and amplify and filter the three sensing signals before converting them into digital signals for processing, thereby determining whether the polarity of the current transformer is correct.

[0008] This invention utilizes wireless communication technology to achieve data transmission between the master and slave units, completely eliminating the constraints of traditional test cables. This makes the testing process more flexible and convenient, significantly improving testing efficiency, and is particularly suitable for rapid testing tasks in complex field environments. Furthermore, through optimized design of the slave and master units, this embodiment significantly enhances the accuracy and anti-interference capabilities of test signals, effectively ensuring the reliability and stability of test results and providing a solid guarantee for the safe operation of the power system. It also enables digital management and in-depth analysis of test data, providing crucial data support for power equipment condition monitoring and fault prediction, and contributing to improved power system operation and maintenance.

[0054] Please see Figure 13 The slave MCU module includes an MCU chip U11 and its peripheral circuitry. The MCU chip U11 can be an STC8H4K64TL-45I-LQFP48 chip. Furthermore, the circuit structure of the slave rechargeable lithium battery module can be the same as that of the host rechargeable lithium battery module; for details, please refer to [reference needed]. Figure 5 The circuit structure of the slave power management module can be the same as that of the master power management module; please refer to [reference needed]. Figure 3 and Figure 4 The slave wireless communication module uses the same type of communication module as the master wireless communication module. In this embodiment, the slave wireless communication module uses a Bluetooth self-organizing network module.

[0055] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows:

[0056] Please see Figures 1 to 13In use, slave unit 201 is connected to the A-phase bus on both the incoming and outgoing sides of the current transformer, slave unit 202 is connected to the B-phase bus on both the incoming and outgoing sides of the current transformer, and slave unit 203 is connected to the C-phase bus on both the incoming and outgoing sides of the current transformer, forming a three-phase signal transmission circuit. The three slave units are then powered on and their corresponding test phases are set (i.e., slave unit 201 is set to phase A, slave unit 202 to phase B, and slave unit 203 to phase C), awaiting pairing with the master unit 100. To save power, the slave units are designed to step down the power supply output voltage using a step-down module, providing four current outputs of 1A, 2A, 3A, and 5A. The reduced current is then fed into the slave MCU module, where the MCU chip U11 controls the power supply to the pulse current signal generation module.

[0057] Then, the three phase detection modules of the master unit 100 are connected to the A-phase voltage winding, B-phase voltage winding, and C-phase voltage winding on the secondary side of the current transformer, respectively, to form a signal receiving loop. The unit is then powered on, enabling the master unit 100 and the three slave units to pair and connect via Bluetooth self-organizing network technology, forming a one-to-many network. In this way, the MCU chip U4 of the master MCU module of the master unit 100 can send commands to the three slave units and receive information such as the operating status of the three slave units through this network.

[0058] According to the specifications of the current transformer under test, the user sets the specifications of the test signals sent by each slave unit on the master unit 100 side, including parameters such as signal frequency and amplitude. After the settings are completed, the MCU chip U4 of the master MCU module sends the test command to the three slave units through the wireless communication network, and then waits to receive the induced pulsating current signal.

[0059] After receiving the instruction sent by the master unit 100, the slave unit parses the instruction through the MCU chip U11 of the slave MCU module and controls the pulse current signal generation module to output the pulse current signal according to the current pulse parameters set in the test instruction.

[0060] After the host unit 100 receives the induced signal on the secondary winding of the current sensor, due to the small induced current, the operational amplifier module of the phase detection module first amplifies the signal. Then, the bandpass filter circuit of the phase detection module filters the received signal to remove noise signals with large frequency differences. The filtered signal is then sent to the MCU chip U4 of the host MCU module for further analysis and processing. The MCU chip U4 performs frequency and amplitude matching on the received current signal to determine whether the signal is received normally. If received normally, the MCU chip U4 determines the polarity of the secondary winding by checking the phase of the current signal and displays the test result on the LCD screen. When the host unit 100 completes the polarity determination of the secondary windings of phases A, B, and C, the test process ends. At this time, the MCU chip U4 of the host unit 100 sends a stop test command to each slave unit. Upon receiving the command, the MCU chip U11 of the slave unit stops sending test signals and enters a waiting state, thus completing one detection process.
