This invention relates to the field of power
system insulation monitoring technology and discloses a method for identifying and monitoring resistive and capacitive residual current in
electrical equipment. The method includes: synchronously acquiring a
bus voltage reference
signal and a total residual current
signal; extracting the zero-crossing moment of the lockout
voltage using the fundamental component; dividing the time-series orthogonal intervals and calculating the piecewise charge integral; comparing the integral differences between the positive and negative half-wave mirror symmetrical positions to determine the phase shift angle caused by the nonlinearity of the measurement link; shifting the integral boundary accordingly to maintain the physical phase orthogonality; and, based on the intrinsic independence of resistive and capacitive components, using a
covariance optimization mechanism to remove projection interference and output resistive residual current data. This invention utilizes waveform symmetry to self-calibrate the sensor's dynamic phase shift, eliminating the projection penetration of capacitive components onto the resistive observation axis, ensuring that the identified data corresponds to the true physical loss properties of the insulation medium, and improving the accuracy of insulation degradation trend assessment.
