  Conventionally, as the prior art of the non-contact voltage measuring device, there are the following.

Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 08-036005 Japanese Patent No. 3158063 JP 2001-255342 A Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2001-210347

  The technique described in Patent Document 1 detects a current flowing between an electric wire and the ground in a live line state, detects a dielectric loss tangent, and applies a voltage applied to the electric wire based on the value of the detected dielectric loss tangent. Is to measure.

  Moreover, the technique described in Patent Document 2 measures a coupling capacitance formed between a core wire and an electrode as a non-contact voltage measuring device that measures an alternating voltage applied to a conductor in an insulated coated electric wire. To do. However, in such a technique, the configuration becomes complicated because a transmitter, a filter, and the like are used.

Further, the technique described in Patent Document 3 divides the electric potential of the electric wire by the coupling capacitance formed between the core wire and the electrode and the electrostatic capacitance of the reference capacitor, and switches the capacitance of the capacitor. The coupling capacitance is obtained from the value of the divided voltage at that time, and the voltage applied to the conductor is obtained using the value of the coupling capacitance. In the case of the non-grounding type, the stray capacitance between the device and the ground is obtained in the same manner.
In such a non-contact voltage measuring apparatus, the above-described oscillator or the like is not necessary, and the voltage can be easily measured in a non-contact manner.

  In the technique described in Patent Document 4, a capacitor is connected between the detection probe and the common potential point, and the voltage applied to the conductor is divided by the capacitor and the coupling capacitance. The coupling capacitance is obtained from the divided voltage value at the time when the capacitor value is changed, and the voltage applied to the conductor is obtained from the coupling capacitance value. .

The technique described in Patent Document 4 will be briefly described with reference to FIG.
In FIG. 4, 110 is an input unit, and 120 is a bootstrap circuit to which the output of the input unit 110 is input. The output of the bootstrap circuit is converted into a digital signal by the A / D converter 130 and calculated by the calculation means 140 to obtain the voltage value applied to the core wire 10.

  The input unit 110 includes capacitors 13 and 14 and a switch 15. Reference numeral 7 denotes an electrode (detection probe). Reference numeral 12 represents a coupling capacity formed between the electrode 7, the insulated wire 9 and the insulator 11, and Cx1 represents the capacitance value.

  Reference numerals 13 and 14 denote capacitors having capacitance values C1 and C2, respectively, and one end thereof is connected to the electrode 7 and the other end is connected to the contacts A and B of the switch 15, respectively. The common contact C of the switch 15 is connected to a common potential point.

  The bootstrap circuit 120 includes resistors 121 and 122, a capacitor 123, and an amplifier 124. The resistors 121 and 122 are connected in series. The output of the input unit 110 is applied to one end of the resistors connected in series, and the other end is connected to a common potential point.

  The output of the input unit 110 is applied to the non-inverting input terminal of the amplifier 124. That is, the resistor 121 and 122 are connected to the side of the series circuit that is not on the common potential point side. The output terminal and the inverting input terminal of the amplifier 124 are connected in common, and a capacitor 123 is connected between the common connection point and the connection point between the resistors 121 and 122.

  With such a configuration, the input impedance of the bootstrap circuit 120 becomes a very high value due to the feedback action. That is, the operation of the input unit 110 is not affected by the connection of the bootstrap circuit 120.

However, in the conventional dielectric loss tangent measuring device described in Patent Document 1, since the voltage signal of the electric wire is taken out from the live line portion, there is a risk of electric shock, and the measurement place is also limited.
Further, the technique described in Patent Document 2 uses a transmitter, a filter, and the like, so that the configuration is complicated.

  Further, in the conventional non-contact voltage measuring device described in Patent Document 3, an insulation such as a coating between the core of the electric wire and the electrode of the device has a dielectric loss tangent, and this dielectric loss tangent causes an error in measurement of the coupling capacitance. As a result, a large error occurs in the voltage measurement of the electric wire.

  Further, in the conventional non-contact voltage measuring method and apparatus described in Patent Document 4, during measurement of the voltages V1 and V2, the coupling capacitance Cx is calculated under the condition that the unknown voltage Ex is a constant voltage and there is no voltage fluctuation. Thus, the unknown voltage E is obtained.

  However, in actuality, the line voltage to be measured constantly fluctuates, so that the unknown voltage Ex cannot be obtained accurately only by measuring the voltages V1 and V2 once. In order to reduce the influence of line fluctuation, it is necessary to calculate the average voltage of V1 and V2 by switching the known capacitors C1 and C2 several times to obtain the unknown voltage Ex. For this reason, line voltage measurement with voltage fluctuation has a drawback that it cannot be measured accurately in a short time.

  Therefore, the problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a non-contact voltage measuring apparatus capable of measuring the unknown voltage Ex accurately in a short time without affecting the measurement accuracy even if there is a voltage fluctuation.

In order to achieve such a problem, the invention according to claim 1 of the present invention is:

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a configuration diagram showing an embodiment of a non-contact voltage measuring apparatus.
In FIG. 1, 1 is a first divided voltage detection circuit, 2 is a second divided voltage detection circuit, and the first divided voltage detection circuit 1 is connected to an electric wire 9 by a coupling capacitor via an electrode 7a. Yes. Similarly, the second divided voltage detection circuit 2 is connected to the electric wire 9 by a coupling capacitance via the electrode 7b. An alternating current signal is input from the core wire 10 to the first and second divided voltage detection circuits 1 and 2 with a coupling capacity of the conductor core wire 10, the insulator 11, and the electrodes 7a and 7b.

  Cx1 is the capacitance of the insulator between the core wire 10 and the electrode 7a. Similarly, Cx2 is a capacitance of an insulator between the core wire 10 and the electrode 7b. C1, C2, and C3 are capacitors. One end of the capacitor C1 is connected to the electrode 7a and the non-inverting input terminal of the amplifier 12a, and the other end is connected to the ground potential via the switch SW1. Similarly, one end of the capacitor C2 is also connected to the electrode 7a, the other end is connected to the non-inverting input terminal of the amplifier 12a, and the other end is connected to the ground potential via the switch SW1. One end of the capacitor C3 is connected to the electrode 7b and the non-inverting input terminal of the amplifier 12b, and the other end is connected to the ground potential.

  The resistor R1 is equivalent to the internal resistance of the amplifier 12a, and can be equivalently expressed as being connected in parallel to the capacitors C1 and C2. Similarly, the resistor R2 is equivalent to the internal resistance of the amplifier 13b and can be equivalently expressed as being connected in parallel to the capacitor C3. These resistors R1 and R2 are the input resistances of the amplifier 12a or 12b. It becomes.

  The inverting input terminals of the amplifiers 12a and 12b are connected to the respective output terminals and function as a buffer amplifier with a gain of 1. Then, the divided voltage V1 or V2 and the voltage V3 which are switched and output by the switch SW1 are output.

  That is, the voltage input to the amplifier 12a is divided by the combined impedance of the capacitor Cx1, the capacitor C1 or C2, and the resistor R1, and becomes the output voltage V1 or V2 of the amplifier 12a.

FIG. 2 shows another configuration example, in which the outputs of the amplifiers 12a and 12b are switched by the switch SW2 and input to the voltage measuring means 13c, and the switching speed of the switch SW2 is set to 1 mS, for example.
When the switch SW1 is connected to the C1 side, the voltages V1 and V3 are measured by the voltage measuring means 13c, and when the switch SW1 is connected to the C2 side, the voltages V2 and V3 are measured almost simultaneously.

By these measurements, V1 and V3, and V2 and V3 can be measured accurately even when the voltage E of the core wire fluctuates in a short time.
The correcting means 14 corrects the output voltage of V1 or V2 according to the voltage change of V3 when measuring V1 and the voltage of V3 when measuring V2.
The computing means 15 obtains the coupling capacitance Cx1 using the corrected V2 or V1 measured by the voltage measuring means and the known C1 and C2, and obtains the voltage E applied to the core wire 10 of the electric wire.

In the first voltage dividing detection circuit 1 of FIG. 1, when the input resistance of the amplifier 1 is sufficiently larger than the impedance of the capacitor C1 or C2, the voltage is divided by the voltage V1 and the capacitor C2 divided by the capacitor Cx1 and the capacitor C1. The relationship between the voltage V2 and the voltage E is expressed by the following equation.
V1 = E × Cx1 / (C1 + Cx1) (1)
V2 = E × Cx1 / (C2 + Cx1) (2)

In the second voltage dividing detection circuit 2, when the input resistance R2 of the amplifier 2 is sufficiently larger than the impedance of the capacitor C3, the relationship between the voltage V3 divided by the capacitor Cx2 and the capacitor C3 and the voltage E is expressed by the following equation. .
V3 = E × Cx2 / (C3 + Cx2) (3)
The voltages V1, V2, and V3 detected by the first and second voltage dividing detection circuits 1 and 2 are measured as effective value voltages by the first and second voltage measuring means 13a and 13b.

In this voltage measurement, the switch SW1 of the first voltage division detection circuit 1 is switched to the C1 side, and the voltage V3 is measured simultaneously with the voltage V1. Similarly, the switch SW1 is switched to the C2 side, and the voltage V3 is measured simultaneously with the voltage V2.
The correction means 14 obtains the voltage fluctuation with the voltage V3 measured simultaneously with the voltage V1 or the voltage V2, and corrects the voltage V1 or the voltage V2.

The calculation means 15 obtains the capacitance Cx1 between the core wire 10 and the electrode 7a by the following formula using the voltage V1 or voltage V2 corrected by the correction means and the known capacitors C1 and C2, and obtains the voltage E of the electric wire.
Cx1 = (V2 * C2-V1 * C1) / (V1-V2) (4)
E = V1 × (C1 + Cx1) / Cx1 (5)

The voltage V2 is corrected by the following formula.
When the voltage E during the measurement of the voltage V1 fluctuates with Ea during the measurement of the voltage V2, if the simultaneously measured voltages are V3 and V3a,
Voltage V3 during measurement of voltage V1
V3 = E × Cx2 / (C3 + Cx2)
Voltage V3a during measurement of voltage V2
V3a = Ea × Cx2 / (C3 + Cx2)
The fluctuation ratio from voltage V3 to V3a is the fluctuation ratio = V3a / V3
The correction ratio for correcting the voltage V2 using this fluctuation ratio is: correction ratio = 1 / voltage V2a before correction of the fluctuation ratio voltage V2, and V2o after correction is V2o = V2a × correction ratio = V2a × ( V3 / V3a)

The voltage V2 is corrected by simultaneous measurement of the voltage V3 by the above method, the coupling capacitance Cx1 is obtained by the equation (4), and the voltage E of the electric wire is obtained by the equation (5).
By measuring V3 at the same time as the voltages V1 and V2, the influence of the fluctuation of the voltage E of the electric wire is eliminated, and the coupling capacitance Cx1 is accurately obtained by the equation (4). Finally, the voltage of the electric wire is obtained by the equation (5). E is obtained.

By the way, the above equation (4) is an equation for obtaining Cx1 described in Patent Document 4 described above. In this equation, the voltages E and Ea during the measurement of V1 and V2 must be the same voltage.
However, in the present invention, the voltage V3 that divides the voltage E is measured to correct the voltage V2. (When Cx1 is obtained, if the voltage E is the same, the correction may be either the voltage V1 or V2. The voltage E is measured from V1 to V2 in the order of measurement of V1 and V2, so the voltage Ea at V2 is close in time. To measure.)

FIG. 3 shows the true value of the voltage E applied to the core of the electric wire and the voltages V1, V2 and V3 of the voltage dividing circuit measured by the voltage measuring means, and the calculated value is the coupling capacitance Cx1 calculated by the correcting means and the calculating means. The voltage Ea.

Measurement conditions are Cx1: 1 pF (unknown binding capacity)
Cx2: 1 pF (unknown binding capacity)
C1: 99pF (known capacity)
C2: 999 pF (known capacity)

  Next, under condition 3, the true value of the core wire voltage E is changed to 101.0 V in the measurement mode V2 (C2). In that case, in the conventional method, the voltage V2 of the voltage dividing circuit is 0.1010 V, the calculated value is 2.11 pF of the coupling capacitance Cx1, and the calculated value of the voltage Ea is 47.87 V, which is about 50% compared with the true value. A strong error occurs.

On the other hand, in the condition 3 in the present invention, the voltage V3 is 0.2000 V in the measurement mode V1 (C1) and the voltage V3 is changed to 0.2020 V in the measurement mode V2 (C2). coupling capacitance Cx1 the calculated value of the latter 1.00PF, voltage V2 ₀ is 0.1000V, voltage Ea is 101.0V, the error between the true value 101.0V measurement modes V2 is not.

  Next, in condition 4, the true value of the voltage E of the core wire is changed to 105.0 V in the measurement mode V2 (C2). In that case, in the conventional method, the voltage V2 of the voltage dividing circuit is 0.1050 V, the calculated value is 6.59 pF of the coupling capacitance Cx1, and the calculated value of the voltage Ea is 16.03 V, which is about 85% compared with the true value. The error is occurring.

On the other hand, in condition 4 in the present invention, the voltage V3 is 0.2000 V in the measurement mode V1 (C1), and the voltage V3 is changed to 0.2100 V in the measurement mode V2 (C2). coupling capacitance Cx1 the calculated value of the latter 1.00PF, voltage V2 ₀ is 0.1000V, voltage Ea is 105.0V, the error between the true value 105.0V measurement modes V2 is not.
As described above, according to the present invention, the corrected calculated value Ea matches the true value under any of the conditions 2 to 4 and can be measured accurately.
