In the preferred embodiment, the spacing between the tip of the metal needle 42 and the ground electrode 43 of the metal test element 4 is 50mm.
It will be appreciated that the spacing between the tip of the metal pin 42 and the ground electrode 43 of the metal test element 4 is the total creepage distance.
In the preferred embodiment, the high voltage electrode 41 and the ground electrode 43 of the metal test unit 4 are both made of aluminum, and the metal needle 42 is made of tungsten.
As an example, a metal needle 42 is placed on the high voltage electrode 41 of the metal test unit 4, preferably made of tungsten, because it has a high melting temperature (3422 ℃), degradation due to partial discharge before breakdown can be avoided.
In the preferred embodiment, the tip radius of the metal needle 42 is 250 μm.
A second embodiment provides a method for measuring propagation speed of insulator streamer based on photomultiplier tube, which is applied to the apparatus for measuring propagation speed of insulator streamer based on photomultiplier tube according to the first embodiment, and the method includes steps S1 to S4:
s1, positioning an insulator sample 7, acquiring a total creepage distance, and filling insulating gas in a metal tank;
s2, the standard lightning impulse voltages with positive polarity and negative polarity output by the high-voltage pulse generator 1 are gradually increased according to the preset voltage increment until flashover occurs, and the test is repeatedly carried out until the accumulated flashover times reach the preset flashover times;
s3, converting optical signals generated at the tip position of the metal needle 42 when flashover occurs each time into electric signals through the photomultiplier 5 to obtain all the electric signals, and generating photoelectric signal waveforms according to all the electric signals through the signal collector 6;
and S4, determining total flow time under the positive polarity and the negative polarity according to the waveform of the photoelectric signal, and respectively calculating average flow velocity under the positive polarity and the negative polarity according to the total creepage distance and the total flow time under the positive polarity and the negative polarity to obtain the flow propagation velocity.
Illustratively, in step S1, the insulator sample 7 is positioned in a photomultiplier-based insulator streamer propagation velocity measuring apparatus, a total creepage distance is acquired, and an insulating gas such as C is filled in the metal can 4 F 7 N/CO 2 /O 2 And (4) mixing the gases.
In step S2, under a preset test condition, the high-voltage pulse generator 1 is controlled to output the standard lightning impulse voltage, the standard lightning impulse voltage with the positive polarity and the standard lightning impulse voltage with the negative polarity output by the high-voltage pulse generator 1 are respectively and successively increased according to a preset voltage increment until flashover occurs, and the test is repeated until the accumulated flashover frequency reaches the preset flashover frequency.
For example, the first positive standard lightning impulse voltage applied by the high voltage pulse generator to the high voltage electrode 41 of the metal test unit 4 is 20kV (negative standard lightning impulse voltage is-20 kV). The standard lightning impulse voltage is successively increased to 25kV, 30kV, 35kV until flashover occurs according to a preset voltage increment, such as 5kV. A waiting time of one minute is maintained after each pulse application. After the first flashover, additional pulses are applied at the same voltage value to obtain a predetermined number of flashovers, such as at least three, on the insulator sample 7. This allows additional data to be collected under the same gas conditions even if the surface conditions of the insulator sample 7 were changed.
In the test process, in order to avoid the influence of flashover on surface traces of the insulator sample 7, the insulator sample 7 is replaced for each test condition. After the flashover, the erosion of the tip radius of the metal needle 42 is observed and the metal needle 42 is replaced if necessary.
In step S3, the photo-signal generated at the tip position of the metal needle 42 each time a flashover occurs is converted into an electrical signal by the photomultiplier 5, and all the electrical signals are obtained, so that a photo-signal waveform is generated from all the electrical signals by the signal collector 6.
It will be appreciated that the instant of the peak of the photomultiplier tube 5 matches the onset of the voltage drop. This event corresponds to a flashover, i.e. the establishment of a conductive path between the electrodes, resulting in a loss of electrical insulation in the gas and a voltage drop to zero. During a flashover, the photomultiplier 5 measurement signal can be broken down into four distinct phases:
(1) The signal remains around 0: there is no optical activity around the tip of the metal needle 42;
(2) The signal is not zero and starts to rise: measuring optical activity around the tip of the metal needle 42; the discharge of the color ribbon occurs and diffuses;
(3) A steep slope appears on the signal: establishing a conductive channel; the current is increased rapidly, the temperature of the gas in the metal tank is increased, and the luminous luminosity is increased;
(4) The luminosity starts to decrease: the circuit discharges through a short circuit caused by an arc channel, and the circulating energy slowly decreases until extinction.
The photomultiplier tube 5 measurement signal is used to compare the streamer propagation velocity at which flashover occurs under various test conditions. For this purpose, the delay between the first occurrence of the signal and the peak is measured, matching the continuous application of the phases (2) and (3) described above. It corresponds to the time between the start of the streaming activity around the tip of the metal pin 42 and the fully established conducting channel, i.e. the total streaming time, when the stream reaches the ground electrode 43 on the other side of the insulator sample 7. And finally, combining the total creepage distance to determine the propagation speed of the stream.
In step S4, total streaming time in the positive polarity and the negative polarity is determined according to the waveform of the photoelectric signal, and average streaming speed in the positive polarity and the negative polarity is calculated according to the total creepage distance and the total streaming time in the positive polarity and the negative polarity, respectively, to obtain the streaming propagation speed.
In the embodiment, by applying the insulator streamer propagation velocity measuring device based on the photomultiplier, a standard lightning impulse voltage output by the high-voltage pulse generator 1 is applied to the high-voltage electrode 41 of the metal testing unit 4 through the sleeve 3, the high-voltage electrode 41 of the metal testing unit 4 generates creeping discharge on the surface of the insulator sample 7 through the metal needle 42, and generates streamer and optical signals, the optical signals are collected, amplified and converted into electrical signals through the optical fiber by the photomultiplier 5, and the signal collector 6 analyzes the electrical signals to obtain the total streamer time, so that a user can determine the streamer propagation velocity according to the total creepage distance and the total streamer time fixed by the device, thereby being capable of accurately collecting the optical signals generated when creeping discharge occurs on the surface of the insulator sample 7 by applying the insulator streamer propagation velocity measuring device based on the photomultiplier 5, and realizing measurement of the streamer propagation velocity.
In a preferred embodiment, the positioning of the insulator sample 7 to obtain the total creepage distance specifically includes: the relative position of the tip of the metal needle 42 and the ground electrode 43 of the metal test unit 4 is determined, and the distance between the tip of the metal needle 42 and the ground electrode 43 of the metal test unit 4 is recorded as the total creepage distance.
As an example, in the insulator fluid propagation velocity measuring apparatus based on the photomultiplier 5, the insulator sample 7 is installed, the surface of the insulator sample 7 is brought into contact with the tip of the metal pin 42, the relative position of the tip of the metal pin 42 and the ground electrode 43 of the metal test unit 4 is determined, and the distance between the tip of the metal pin 42 and the ground electrode 43 of the metal test unit 4 is recorded as the total creepage distance.
In a preferred embodiment, the filling of the insulating gas in the metal can is specifically: in metal cansC filled at 0.75MPa 4 F 7 N/CO 2 /O 2 And (4) mixing the gases.
In this example, a metal can was filled with 0.75MPa of C 4 F 7 N/CO 2 /O 2 The mixed gas is used for discharge test, which is favorable for helping research C 4 F 7 N/CO 2 /O 2 Mixed gas carrier ionization and deionization processes facilitating understanding of C 4 F 7 N/CO 2 /O 2 Dielectric properties of the gas mixture supporting it as SF 6 Alternative to gas.
In a preferred embodiment, the successively increasing the standard lightning impulse voltage with positive polarity and the standard lightning impulse voltage with negative polarity output by the high-voltage pulse generator 1 according to the preset voltage increment respectively until flashover occurs, and repeatedly performing the test until the accumulated flashover frequency reaches the preset flashover frequency specifically includes: after the standard lightning impulse voltage with positive polarity or negative polarity output by the high-voltage pulse generator 1 is increased every time, waiting for the preset time and then performing the next action.
As an example, after each time the standard lightning surge voltage of positive polarity or negative polarity output from the high voltage pulse generator 1 is increased, a preset time, for example, one minute, is waited, and then the next action is performed.
This embodiment is favorable to improving the experimental accuracy of discharging through setting up latency.
In a preferred embodiment, the average streamer speed at positive polarity = total creepage distance/total streamer time at positive polarity, and the average streamer speed at negative polarity = total creepage distance/average streamer speed at negative polarity.
As an example, in order to more clearly illustrate the method for measuring the propagation velocity of insulator streamer based on the photomultiplier according to the second embodiment, the high voltage pulse generator 1, the metal test unit 4, the signal collector 6, and the like are connected according to the circuit connection manner shown in fig. 1, the distance between the tip of the fixed metal pin 42 and the ground electrode 43 of the metal test unit 4 is 50mm, and the metal can is filled with 0.75Mpa C 4 F 7 N/CO 2 /O 2 Mixing the gas.
Then, by gradually and slowly raising the output voltage of the high voltage pulse generator 1, the standard lightning impulse voltage of positive polarity and negative polarity is applied to the high voltage electrode 41 of the metal test unit 4 until finally the flashover occurs. After each pulse application, the operation is repeated for about 1 minute until more than three flashovers are accumulated, and the flashover voltage and the waveform of the photoelectric signal measured by the photomultiplier 5 and collected by the signal collector 6 are recorded.
Based on the measured waveform of the photoelectric signal, according to the rising and falling rule of the voltage waveform, respectively finding a time period with signal characteristics from the stage (1) to the stage (4), wherein the stage (2) and the stage (3) represent time corresponding to the development and flashover process of the streamer, the time and total time for completely establishing a conductive channel for streamer activity, namely total streamer time, the total creepage distance is the distance between the tip of the fixed metal needle 42 and the grounding electrode 43 of the metal test unit 4 and is 50mm, and the average streamer speed under the positive and negative polarities can be estimated by dividing the total streamer time under the positive and negative polarities respectively.
The experiment shows that the flashover voltage under positive polarity is 84KV, and the average streamer speed is 2.4 multiplied by 10 5 m/s, flashover voltage under negative polarity is-105 KV, and average streamer speed is 1.35 × 10 5 m/s。
From the experimental results, it is found that, in the positive polarity, the electrons are collected by the high voltage electrode 41, and the positive space charge of the head of the stream advances along the solid surface toward the ground electrode 43. In gas, electrons which have an effect on the propagation of the flow are mainly generated by photoionization of surrounding gas molecules, and for a gas-solid interface, a solid surface can be an additional photoelectron source, so that the development of the flow is promoted, and the propagation speed of the flow is accelerated.
On the other hand, when the tip of the metal pin 42 is a negative electrode, electrons useful for the propagation of discharge are directly emitted from the high voltage electrode 41, however, the trap on the surface of the insulator sample 7 captures part of the electrons during the development of discharge, slowing down the development of the electrons, and meanwhile, the accumulation of negative charges can also reduce the further enhancement of the electric field around the tip of the metal pin 42. The influence of the electric field on the development of the discharge is also reduced. The above structure can prove the negative electrodeThe velocity of flow propagation is lower in the sexual regime than in the positive regime. At the same time for study C 4 F 7 N/CO 2 /O 2 The mixed gas photoionization process and the deionization process provide theoretical support for explaining C 4 F 7 N/CO 2 /O 2 The dielectric properties of the mixed gas provide a reliable method.
In summary, the embodiment of the present invention has the following advantages:
by designing the insulator streamer propagation velocity measuring device based on the photomultiplier, when the device is applied, standard lightning impulse voltage output by the high-voltage pulse generator 1 is applied to the high-voltage electrode 41 of the metal testing unit 4 through the sleeve 3, the high-voltage electrode 41 of the metal testing unit 4 generates creeping discharge on the surface of the insulator sample 7 through the metal needle 42 and generates streamer and optical signals, the optical signals are collected, amplified and converted into electric signals through the optical fiber by the photomultiplier 5, and the signal collector 6 analyzes the electric signals to obtain total streamer time so that a user can determine the streamer propagation velocity according to the total creepage distance and the total streamer time fixed by the device, thereby being capable of applying the insulator streamer propagation velocity measuring device based on the photomultiplier to accurately collect the optical signals generated when the creeping discharge occurs on the surface of the insulator sample 7 and realizing the measurement of the streamer propagation velocity.
