Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of nuclear power technology, and in particular to a device for verifying the insulation alarm setting value of a DC panel in a nuclear power plant. Background Technology
[0002] In nuclear power plants, DC switchboards are indispensable, as they supply power to important instrumentation and control equipment, electrical control circuits, DC motors, DCS and other equipment.
[0003] DC insulation monitoring devices installed in DC switchboards play a crucial role in DC systems. Operational experience has shown that grounding in DC systems not only causes relay protection devices to malfunction or fail to operate, but can also lead to malfunctions or failures to operate primary equipment controlled by DC, seriously jeopardizing the safe and stable operation of the power system. Therefore, it is essential to monitor the DC system's insulation to ground in real time and promptly eliminate faults when grounding occurs.
[0004] The DC insulation monitoring device, acting as the main unit, can collect and display the insulation information of two busbar sections (positive busbar / negative busbar) in real time, and can immediately issue an alarm if an abnormality occurs. The alarm settings for the two insulation sections can be set according to site requirements, such as 30KΩ for section I and 10KΩ for section II. During the operation of the DC distribution panel, it is often necessary to verify the insulation alarm settings to ensure proper alarm function. Therefore, the annual inspection of DC distribution panels places high demands on the verification of DC insulation monitoring devices. Typically, a test cable and a sliding rheostat are connected in series between the positive and negative terminals and the grounding busbar on the outgoing terminal side of a spare switch to verify the circuit positioning and alarm functions of the insulation monitoring device. This test method carries the risk of accidental contact and electric shock when verifying the insulation monitoring device in operation. Utility Model Content

[0042] 2. Connect the nuclear power plant DC panel insulation alarm setting value verification device to the DC bus system, that is, connect the plug 20 to the positive and negative poles of the DC bus, and operate the first switch 30 to conduct the positive and negative poles of the DC bus.
[0043] 3. Switch the second switch 40 from the middle position to the left position, and ground the positive terminal of the DC bus through the resistor adjustment device.
[0044] 4. Slowly adjust the resistance until the DC insulation alarm is triggered. Record the resistance value at this point to see if it is within the acceptable range. If it is not acceptable, adjust the insulation tester and repeat the verification.
[0045] 5. Adjust the resistance value to the maximum and confirm that the DC insulation alarm disappears.
[0046] 6. Turn the second switch 40 to the right side and verify the negative pole insulation alarm setting value in the same way.
[0047] 7. After the experiment is completed, disconnect the first switch 30 and pull out the housing 10 so that the plug 20 is separated from the positive and negative poles of the DC bus. The nuclear power plant DC panel insulation alarm setting value verification device can be pulled out of the space of the spare drawer of the DC distribution panel, so that the nuclear power plant DC panel insulation alarm setting value verification device is isolated from the DC bus.
