The invention relates to a
lightning arrester leakage
ammeter self-calibration method and
system, and the method comprises the following steps: disconnecting a main leakage
ammeter from an external main measurement loop, and closing a calibration loop of a redundancy calibration sensor and a
reference current source after a preset time is delayed; controlling a
reference current source to output standard signals with different current magnitudes, collecting the standard signals by using a redundancy calibration sensor, extracting effective
signal components, and performing environment compensation; iteratively calculating a relative error between the effective
signal component and the standard
signal, if the relative error is less than or equal to a second threshold value, updating a
calibration coefficient according to a ratio of the standard signal to the effective signal component, and correcting a measurement result of the main leakage
ammeter based on the
calibration coefficient; if the relative error is greater than a third threshold value, locking output and uploading fault information; otherwise, recording as one exception, and carrying out maintenance early warning according to the number of exceptions. Compared with the prior art, the self-checking and real-time calibration of the leakage ammeter of the
lightning arrester can be completed on the premise of not influencing the operation of
power equipment.
