Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of electronic detection, in particular to a method and a device for monitoring alternating current leakage current of a surge protector, and the surge protector comprising the device.
Background
Surge Protectors (SPDs) are widely used in fields such as lightning current Protection. During use, the SPD may be affected by lightning or overvoltage, and performance degradation occurs, resulting in a reduction or even failure of the protection function. Therefore, the SPD needs to be checked periodically to monitor the degradation state of the SPD.
Measuring leakage current of the SPD is commonly employed to determine the degradation state. When the performance of the SPD degrades, the leakage current through the SPD increases. If the measured leakage current value exceeds a certain reference value, it can be determined that the SPD performance degradation exceeds a normal level, which needs to be replaced.
However, currently, the leakage current of the SPD is usually measured by offline manual detection, i.e. the SPD is powered off or a piezoresistor module on the SPD is taken out, and an SPD parameter tester is used for measurement. The measuring method needs to be regularly detected on the using site, the using and maintaining cost is high, and the measured leakage current is direct current leakage current which is different from the alternating current working condition of the SPD in actual work.

Surge Protectors (SPDs) are widely used in fields such as lightning current Protection. During use, the SPD may be affected by lightning or overvoltage, and performance degradation occurs, resulting in a reduction or even failure of the protection function. Therefore, the SPD needs to be checked periodically to monitor the degradation state of the SPD.
The leakage current is a current formed between mutually insulated parts or between a charged part and a grounded part in an electric element through a surrounding medium or an insulating surface when a voltage is applied. Measuring the leakage current of the SPD to determine the degradation state is a common method in the industry. When the performance of the SPD deteriorates, the leakage current through the SPD increases. If the measured leakage current value exceeds a certain reference value, it can be determined that the SPD performance degradation exceeds a normal level, which needs to be replaced.
At present, the leakage current of the SPD is generally measured by off-line manual detection, namely, the SPD is powered off or a piezoresistor module on the SPD is taken out, and an SPD parameter tester is used for measuring. The measurement method needs to be regularly detected at a use site, and the use and maintenance cost is high. The SPD parameter tester used in the method is direct current detection equipment, and the detected leakage current is direct current leakage current which is different from the alternating current working condition of the SPD in actual work. When the direct current leakage current exceeds a certain direct current reference value, the SPD needs to be replaced.
An intelligent accessory device (Smart SPD) for an SPD provides an automatic online detection method, and leakage current of the SPD can be remotely monitored. The SPD is applied to an alternating current power frequency power system, so that the online measured leakage current value is the alternating current leakage current in the practical use of the SPD. When the leakage current exceeds a preset alarm threshold value, the Smart SPD sends an alarm to prompt a user to replace the SPD with the leakage current exceeding the standard.
Since the SPD is a non-linear varistor, its resistance is very sensitive to voltage. The inventors found during testing that the measured value of the ac leakage current changed significantly when different operating voltages were applied. In contrast, the range of variation of the dc leakage current is small at different operating voltages. Therefore, unlike the dc leakage current reference value, the ac leakage current alarm threshold is a completely new parameter, which needs to be defined by a new method.
In addition, the operating temperature is also a factor of the ac leakage current value. This sometimes needs to be taken into account when actually measuring.
In the present invention, the ac leakage current is an effective value and/or a maximum value of the ac leakage current. In the following description of the embodiments, the effective value of the ac leakage current is used to represent the ac leakage current value, but the present invention is not limited thereto, and the maximum value of the ac leakage current may be used depending on the measurement function of the current measurement module.
In addition, the working temperature of the present invention may refer to an ambient temperature of the surge protector, a housing temperature of the surge protector, or an internal temperature of the surge protector, but the present invention is not limited thereto. In the following description of the embodiments, the operating temperature of the surge protector is represented by the surge protector case temperature.
An embodiment of the present invention provides a method of monitoring an ac leakage current of a surge protector, the method comprising: measuring the alternating current leakage current of the surge protector; measuring the working voltage and/or working temperature of the surge protector; calculating an alarm threshold value under the working voltage and/or the working temperature based on the measured working voltage and/or the working temperature; and comparing the alternating current leakage current with the alarm threshold, and sending an alarm signal when the alternating current leakage current is larger than the alarm threshold, and/or comparing the average value of the alternating current leakage current with the average value of the alarm threshold, and sending an alarm signal when the average value of the alternating current leakage current is larger than the average value of the alarm threshold.
Fig. 1 shows a flow chart of a method of monitoring ac leakage current of a surge protector according to an embodiment of the invention. As shown in fig. 1, the steps of the method include:
measuring the alternating current leakage current of the surge protector;
measuring the working voltage of the surge protector;
calculating an alarm threshold;
comparing the alternating current leakage current with the alarm threshold, sending an alarm signal when the alternating current leakage current is larger than the alarm threshold, and repeatedly measuring the working voltage of the surge protector and subsequent steps when the alternating current leakage current is smaller than or equal to the alarm threshold.
According to an embodiment of the invention, an alarm threshold value at the operating voltage is calculated based on the measured operating voltage. Specifically, the calculation includes calculating by a calculation function, the calculation function representing a magnitude of the alarm threshold at a certain operating voltage.
The determination method of the calculation function will be described in detail below with reference to fig. 3 to 6 and tables 1 to 2. Fig. 3 shows leakage current scatter diagrams of the surge protectors with different degradation degrees, fig. 4 shows leakage current scatter diagrams of the surge protectors with different degradation degrees under different working voltages, fig. 5 shows a fitting curve of an alarm threshold value and a working voltage according to an embodiment of the present invention, and fig. 6 shows a comparison graph of the fitting curve of the alarm threshold value shown in fig. 5 and the leakage current curve of the surge protectors with different degradation degrees. Table 1 shows the leakage current values of the surge protector with different degrees of degradation in the dc voltage and the ac voltage, and table 2 shows the ac leakage current values of the surge protector with different degrees of degradation in the operating voltage.
Firstly, based on the existing reference value of the direct current leakage current, the appropriate alarm threshold value of the alternating current leakage current is determined through test data. A batch of SPDs with different degrees of degradation can be "manufactured" in a laboratory by means of transient overvoltage.
TABLE 1 leakage Current values of Surge protectors of different degradation degrees
As can be seen from table 1, when the SPD is severely degraded, the dc leakage current thereof is significantly increased, and thus the magnitude of the dc leakage current can be used as a reference for determining the degradation degree of the SPD. Thus, is composed of
Table 1 can determine that three SPDs numbered 37, 41, and 44 are severely deteriorated SPDs, seven SPDs numbered 36, 25, 8, 19, 29, 14, 42, and 5 are primarily deteriorated SPDs, and three SPDs numbered a1, a2, and A3 are completely new SPDs, which can be considered to be almost not deteriorated.
The inventors found that the alternating current leakage current also exhibits a variation law similar to that of the direct current leakage current, that is, as the degree of deterioration increases, the value of the alternating current leakage current also increases, in comparison with the variation law of the direct current leakage current. This means that the alarm threshold for the ac leakage current can be determined with reference to the reference value determined for the dc leakage current. As shown in fig. 3, the alarm threshold may be determined to be 57 μ a. It should be noted that the determination of the alarm threshold is based on experience and practical conditions, and is not limited to the specific value of the embodiment, for example, the alarm threshold may be selected from 55 to 60 μ a.
Table 2 shows the ac leakage current values of the surge protector for different degrees of degradation at three different ac operating voltages (176V, 220V and 264V). The inventor finds that the change rule of the alternating current leakage current is similar to that of the direct current leakage current, but the change range of the alternating current leakage current is obviously smaller than that of the direct current leakage current, and the resistance value of the SPD is sensitive to the voltage because the SPD is a nonlinear voltage dependent resistor. This results in different alarm thresholds being required for different ac operating voltages, namely an alarm threshold of 42 μ a for 176V operating voltage, 57 μ a for 220V operating voltage and 75 μ a for 264V operating voltage. In addition, the use of a single current reference value may also result in false detection or missed detection. For example, if the alarm threshold is selected to be 42 μ a, a new SPD at 264V operating voltage may also be considered as a severely degraded SPD causing false detection, or if the alarm threshold is selected to be 75 μ a, a severely degraded SPD at 176V operating voltage may also be considered as a normal SPD causing missed detection.
The single current reference value currently determined for the dc leakage current cannot be adapted to the ac leakage current. The respective alarm thresholds need to be determined for different ac operating voltages.
TABLE 2 leakage current values of surge protectors of different degradation degrees under different AC working voltages
In the present embodiment, the calculation function is calculated by using the principle of linear interpolation, and specifically, the calculation function expression is as follows (in the following description, as not explicitly stated, "operating voltage" refers specifically to ac operating voltage):
when U is turnedn≤U≤UmaxWhen the temperature of the water is higher than the set temperature,
when U is turnedmin≤U<UnWhen the temperature of the water is higher than the set temperature,
wherein, U is the measured working voltage of the surge protector;
Ialarm(U)represents an alarm threshold at the operating voltage U;
Unindicating the rated operating voltage, U, of the surge protectormaxIndicating the maximum operating voltage, U, of the surge protectorminIndicating minimum of surge protectorOperating voltage, and Un、UmaxAnd UminAre all known constants;
indicating an alarm threshold at the nominal operating voltage,indicating an alarm threshold at the maximum operating voltage,indicating an alarm threshold at a minimum operating voltage, andcalculated from experimental data and stored in the processing unit.
In this embodiment, Un=220V,Umax=264V,Umin=176V, Alternatively, the above parameters may be changed according to the actual working conditions. The alarm threshold-operating voltage fitting curve shown in fig. 5 can be obtained from the calculation function expression.
Fig. 6 shows a comparison graph of the alarm threshold fitting curve shown in fig. 5 and leakage current curves of surge protectors with different degradation degrees, and it can be seen from fig. 6 that the alarm threshold calculated according to the fitting curve can better distinguish a normal SPD (a new SPD or a preliminarily degraded SPD) from a severely degraded SPD, and does not cause missing detection and false detection, and has better accuracy and reliability.
Therefore, the measured working voltage of the surge protector is substituted into the calculation function, and the alarm threshold value under the working voltage can be obtained. This step may be performed by the processing unit. Illustratively, the processing Unit may be a Micro Controller Unit (MCU), a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA), a digital signal processor, or other processing units commonly used in the art.
And further, comparing the measured alternating current leakage current with an alarm threshold, and sending an alarm signal to prompt a user to replace the SPD when the alternating current leakage current is greater than the alarm threshold. For example, the alarm signal may be an alarm sound, an alarm image displayed on the interactive interface, or an alarm prompt directly transmitted to the user terminal, but the embodiment of the present invention is not limited thereto, as long as the alarm signal can play an alarm role. And conversely, when the average value of the alternating current leakage current is less than or equal to the average value of the alarm threshold value, the real-time working voltage of the surge protector and the subsequent steps are repeatedly measured, namely the cycle is repeated.
According to a variant embodiment of the invention, the steps of the method comprise:
measuring the alternating current leakage current of the surge protector;
measuring the working temperature of the surge protector;
calculating an alarm threshold;
comparing the alternating current leakage current with the alarm threshold, sending an alarm signal when the alternating current leakage current is larger than the alarm threshold, and repeatedly measuring the working voltage of the surge protector and subsequent steps when the alternating current leakage current is smaller than or equal to the alarm threshold.
In the case of measuring the operating temperature, the calculation comprises a calculation by means of a calculation function, which represents the magnitude of the alarm threshold at a certain operating temperature.
For example, the calculation function is:
when T isn≤T≤TmaxWhen the temperature of the water is higher than the set temperature,
when T ismin≤T<TnWhen the temperature of the water is higher than the set temperature,
wherein the content of the first and second substances,
t is the measured working temperature of the surge protector;
Ialarm(T)represents an alarm threshold at the operating voltage T;
Tnindicating the rated operating temperature, T, of the surge protectormaxIndicating the maximum operating temperature, T, of the surge protectorminIndicates the minimum operating temperature of the surge protector, and Tn、TmaxAnd TminAre all known constants;
indicating an alarm threshold at the nominal operating temperature,indicating an alarm threshold at the maximum operating temperature,indicating an alarm threshold at a minimum operating temperature, andcalculated from experimental data and stored in the processing unit.
Fig. 2 shows a flow chart of a method of monitoring ac leakage current of a surge protector according to another embodiment of the invention. In this embodiment, the method includes the steps of:
measuring the alternating current leakage current of the surge protector;
measuring the real-time working voltage of the surge protector;
calculating an alarm threshold value under the current working voltage;
taking an average value of alternating current leakage current and an average value of an alarm threshold value within a certain time;
and comparing the average value of the alternating current leakage current with the average value of the alarm threshold, sending an alarm signal when the average value of the alternating current leakage current is larger than the average value of the alarm threshold, and repeatedly measuring the real-time working voltage of the surge protector and subsequent steps when the average value of the alternating current leakage current is smaller than or equal to the average value of the alarm threshold.
The method described in this embodiment differs from the previous embodiment in that the average value of the ac leakage current over a certain time period and the average value of the alarm threshold are taken and used for comparison. Therefore, false detection or missing detection caused by single measurement error can be eliminated, and the accuracy and reliability are further improved. Alternatively, in a variant embodiment of the invention, the measurement of the real-time operating voltage of the surge protector may be changed to the measurement of the real-time operating temperature of the surge protector, with the remaining steps being modified accordingly.
Fig. 7 shows a flow chart of a method of monitoring ac leakage current of a surge protector according to a further embodiment of the invention. In this embodiment, the method includes the steps of:
measuring the alternating current leakage current of the surge protector;
measuring the real-time working voltage of the surge protector;
measuring the real-time working temperature of the surge protector;
calculating alarm threshold values under the current working voltage and the working temperature;
taking an average value of alternating current leakage current and an average value of an alarm threshold value within a certain time;
and comparing the average value of the alternating current leakage current with the average value of the alarm threshold, sending an alarm signal when the average value of the alternating current leakage current is larger than the average value of the alarm threshold, and repeatedly measuring the real-time working voltage of the surge protector and subsequent steps when the average value of the alternating current leakage current is smaller than or equal to the average value of the alarm threshold.
The method described in this embodiment is different from the previous embodiment in that two variables (operating voltage and operating temperature) are measured simultaneously, and a fitting matrix is required to calculate the linear fit of the alarm threshold. Specifically, the calculation function is:
when U is turnedn≤U≤UmaxAnd Tn≤T≤TmaxWhen the temperature of the water is higher than the set temperature,
when U is turnedn≤U≤UmaxAnd Tmin≤T<TnWhen the temperature of the water is higher than the set temperature,
when U is turnedmin≤U<UnAnd Tn≤T≤TmaxWhen the temperature of the water is higher than the set temperature,
when U is turnedmin≤U<UnAnd Tmin≤T<TnWhen the temperature of the water is higher than the set temperature,
wherein the content of the first and second substances,
u is the measured working voltage of the surge protector, and T is the measured working temperature of the surge protector;
Ialarm(U,T)represents the alarm threshold at the operating voltage U and the operating temperature T;
Unindicating the rated operating voltage, U, of the surge protectormaxIndicating the maximum operating voltage, U, of the surge protectorminRepresents the minimum operating voltage of the surge protector, and Un、UmaxAnd UminAre all known constants;
Tnindicating the rated operating temperature, T, of the surge protectormaxIndicating the maximum operating temperature, T, of the surge protectorminIndicates the minimum operating temperature of the surge protector, and Tn、TmaxAnd TminAre all known constants;
indicating the nominal operating voltage and the alarm threshold at the maximum operating temperature,indicating the alarm threshold at the nominal operating voltage and at the nominal operating temperature,indicating the nominal operating voltage and the alarm threshold at the minimum operating temperature,indicating the alarm threshold at the maximum operating voltage and maximum operating temperature,indicating the alarm threshold at the maximum operating voltage and the nominal operating temperature,indicating the alarm threshold at the maximum operating voltage and minimum operating temperature,indicating an alarm threshold at a minimum operating voltage and a maximum operating temperature,indicating a warning threshold at a minimum operating voltage and a nominal operating temperature,indicating a minimum operating voltage and an alarm threshold at a minimum operating temperature, andcalculated from experimental data and stored in the processing unit.
FIG. 8 illustrates an alarm threshold-operating voltage operating temperature relationship curve according to the embodiment shown in FIG. 7. U can be determined according to actual conditionsn、Umax、Umin、Tn、TmaxAnd Tmin. E.g. Un=220V,Umax=264V,Umin=176V,Tn=25℃,Tmax=70℃,Tmin-25 ℃ and calculated from experimental data Andthe value of (c). Therefore, the alarm threshold-working voltage working temperature relation curved surface shown in the figure 8 can be obtained according to the calculation function expression.
Therefore, the measured real-time working voltage and real-time working temperature of the surge protector are substituted into the calculation function, and the alarm threshold value under the working voltage and the working temperature can be obtained. And taking the average value of the alternating leakage current in a certain time and the average value of the alarm threshold value.
Further, the average value of the alternating current leakage current is compared with the average value of the alarm threshold value, and when the average value of the alternating current leakage current is larger than the average value of the alarm threshold value, an alarm signal is sent out.
