The invention provides a
transformer residual
magnetism detection method for improving
direct current demagnetization, and belongs to the technical field of
power equipment detection. The method comprises the following steps: demagnetizing a
transformer iron core to eliminate an interference
magnetic field, applying
direct current excitation through a special winding to generate controllable preset residual
magnetism, establishing a detection circuit in which a primary side winding is connected with an
external resistor in series and a
secondary side winding is open-circuited, and sequentially applying
direct current small
signal excitation with the same size and opposite directions, the method comprises the following steps: collecting forward and reverse
transient current and
voltage waveforms, comparing current change rate after filtering to judge the residual
magnetism direction, solving the equivalent resistance of an iron core based on the waveform consistent with the residual magnetism direction, obtaining a detection result by combining the monotone fitting relationship between the resistance and residual magnetism, and finally assisting
verification and calculating a relative error through an
energy method. And if the error does not exceed 5%, it is determined that detection is effective, accurate and lossless detection of the magnitude and direction of the residual magnetism can be achieved, and detection reliability and
engineering applicability are effectively improved.
