Embodiment
Below in conjunction with accompanying drawing, the present invention is described in further detail, can implement according to this with reference to instructions word to make those skilled in the art.
As shown in Figure 1, Figure 2, shown in Fig. 3, Fig. 4 and Fig. 5, the invention provides a kind of low-voltage arc fault detection method, comprise: sampling to the voltage between the live wire of protected circuit and zero line and process obtains high-frequency pulse signal, and sampling to the electric current of protected circuit and process obtains current half wave signal; Pulse number G, pulse width and the H of statistics high-frequency pulse signal in each power frequency period and maximum pulse M; Statistics coefficient of variation S, zero of current half wave in each power frequency period stops rate of change L and V
max, wherein, V=di/dt, in arbitrary power frequency period zero to stop rate of change be that zero difference of stopping changing value that zero of the power frequency period be adjacent stops changing value and this power frequency period stops changing value divided by zero of this power frequency period again; A selected sampling time window, a sampling time window comprises several power frequency periods; One by one each power frequency period in described sampling time window is judged, as G30+H20+M50 > 50000, then judge to create a suspected malfunctions signal at a power frequency period; Continue the number N of the suspected malfunctions signal of statistics in described sampling time window, when N>=9, then judge doubtful arc fault occurs; One by one the power frequency period creating suspected malfunctions signal is judged again, as L40+S30+V30 > 50000, then judge arc fault occurs.
Predetermined time cycle (i.e. a power frequency period) catches high-frequency pulse signal, the pulse number G of real-time update high-frequency pulse signal, pulse width and H and maximum pulse M, the final high-frequency pulse signal that obtains is at the pulse number G of each power frequency period, pulse width and H and maximum pulse M.Changed zero of the current half wave obtaining each power frequency period by timing A/D and stop changing value, periodic current integrated value and maximum V value (i.e. V
max), V=di/dt, calculate the zero coefficient of variation S stopping rate of change L and periodic current, wherein, it is that zero difference of stopping changing value that zero of the power frequency period be adjacent stops changing value and this power frequency period stops changing value divided by zero of this power frequency period again that zero of this power frequency period stops rate of change.Preferably, adjacent power frequency period selects a rear power frequency period of current power frequency period.In addition, half wave cycles equals power frequency period.
Multiple high-frequency impulse is collected in a power frequency period, if pulse number, pulse width and, maximum pulse ratio and exceed threshold value then this is designated as a suspected malfunctions signal, concrete formula is: G30+H20+M50 > 50000.As suspected malfunctions signal t in sampling time window
1interior accumulative number N, more than eight, namely judges doubtful arc fault occurs.Now, for the power frequency period creating suspected malfunctions signal, if zero stop rate of change L, the coefficient of variation S of periodic current and the ratio of maximum di/dt value V and exceed setting threshold value time, then judge occur arc fault, concrete formula is: L40+S30+V30 > 50000.That is, as long as having a power frequency period to be determined is that arc fault occurs, just prove that whole protected circuit there occurs arc fault really.
When microprocessor judges arc fault occurs, microprocessor triggers trip circuit, electromechanical interface is threaded off, with timely disconnecting circuit.
In the present invention, the algorithm of the suspected malfunctions signal number N in statistic sampling time window is: define a variable Temp for storing the result of determination of current demand signal, when current demand signal is judged to be non-faulting signal, and Temp=0, when current demand signal is judged to be suspected malfunctions signal, Temp=1.Defining a length is that the integer array D [100] of 100 is for storing the result of determination of 100 half wave cycles, each half wave cycles is after judging, 0-99 element every in array is moved one to a high position, by current Temp value stored in the lowest order D [0] of array.To array D [100] summation, the accumulative doubtful arcing fault signal number N monitored in 100 half wave cycles can be drawn.
Similarly, the algorithm of arc fault in similar algorithm statistic sampling time window can be adopted.Its process is: define a variable True for storing the result of determination of current demand signal, when current demand signal is judged to be non-faulting signal, and True=0, when current demand signal is judged to be fault-signal (namely judging to there occurs arc fault), True=1; Defining a length is that the integer array R [100] of 100 is for storing the result of determination of 100 half wave cycles, after each half wave cycles judges, 0-99 element every in array is moved one to a high position, by current Temp value stored in the lowest order R [0] of array.To array R [100] summation, the accumulative arcing fault signal number N monitored in 100 half wave cycles can be drawn.Due to after determining a fault-signal, the circuit in downstream has just been disconnected, therefore actual monitoring to arcing fault signal be one.
Particularly, running the above-mentioned algorithm to adding up doubtful arcing fault signal and arcing fault signal on the microprocessor, judging to realize arc fault.Be stored into data in array D [100] and array R [100], the position of data in two arrays of same power frequency period is identical simultaneously.When the number of the doubtful arcing fault signal in array D [100] reaches threshold value, if the Temp numerical value in array D [100] is the Temp numerical value of the element of element in the same position of array R [100] of 1 is also 1, then judge to there occurs arc fault.
Wherein, the implication of " current demand signal " is one section of current half wave signal in a power frequency period, then accordingly, " non-faulting signal " and " suspected malfunctions signal " is all for one section of current half wave signal in a power frequency period.
" high-frequency pulse signal " and " current half wave signal " in " sample to the voltage between the live wire of protected circuit and zero line and process and obtain high-frequency pulse signal; sampling concerning the electric current of protected circuit and process obtains current half wave signal ", then relative to whole observation process, they have corresponding signal segment in each power frequency period.
