AI Technical Summary
Existing methods for locating faults in transmission lines are insufficient to meet high-precision requirements. Impedance location methods are easily affected by line parameters, traveling wave location methods have stringent time synchronization requirements and are limited by existing systems, and distributed diagnostic systems have insufficient location accuracy.
A high-precision time-to-digital converter (TDC) is integrated on each node to directly measure the time difference between the 1PPS signal and the local OCXO clock. The phase difference is obtained through the MCU main control unit, and combined with the dual-channel time difference hardware comparison, a high-precision time reference is achieved. The fault timestamp is transmitted through the CAT1 4G communication unit.
It achieves high-precision fault location with a positioning error of less than 10ns, meeting the needs of refined operation and maintenance, and maintains stable timing in areas with weak BeiDou timing signals, thus improving positioning accuracy and system stability.
