  DESCRIPTION OF EXEMPLARY EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of an operation test system for a protective relay device according to the invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In each figure, the same numerals indicate the same or corresponding parts.

Embodiment 1 FIG.
1 is a block diagram illustrating an operation test system for a protective relay device according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention.
In FIG. 1, reference numeral 100 indicates a protective relay device. The protective relay device 100 is input from a transformer (which will be described here as a transformer) 1 such as a transformer or a current transformer for converting an input signal from a system (not shown), and from the transformer 1 via a changeover switch 2. Analog measurement circuit 3 that amplifies the received signal and removes noise by the filter circuit, A / D converter 4 that converts the analog signal from the analog measurement circuit 3 into a digital signal, computation and protection, or switching processing of the changeover switch 2 And a test signal generation circuit 6 that generates a test waveform in response to a command from the CPU 5. The changeover switch 2 is configured to switch a signal input to the analog measurement circuit 3 between a signal input from the transformer 1 and a signal input from the test signal generation circuit 6 in accordance with an instruction from the CPU 5. ing. The test signal generation circuit 6 is composed of a D / A converter or a circuit that generates a signal of an arbitrary magnitude.

  Furthermore, the protective relay device 100 includes an output circuit 8 that generates a signal for operating the mechanical relay 7, a communication circuit 10 that performs communication with the central monitoring device 9 that collects information from the protective relay device 100, And display means 11 such as a lamp or a display screen for displaying the status of the system and the test signal of the test signal generation circuit 6.

The operation test system for the protective relay device according to the first embodiment is configured as described above, and the operation thereof will be described next.
At the time of sampling of the input from the system, the CPU 5 switches the connection of the changeover switch 2 to the transformer 1 or the test signal generating circuit 6 every sampling, and as shown in FIGS. Sampling is alternately performed on the signal from the tester 1 and the signal from the test signal generation circuit 6. The number of times of sampling is an arbitrary value of 1 or more per cycle of the current or voltage waveform. The sampled data is data obtained by synthesizing both signals, but is divided into the data of the test signal generation circuit 6 and the data of the transformer 1 according to the timing of the sampling data in the software processing inside the CPU 5. Then, the CPU 5 performs protection / monitoring processing on each divided data by the protection / monitoring processing unit 5a. In the present embodiment, the protection / monitoring processing unit 5a is illustrated as a functional unit inside the CPU 5, but may be configured as a functional unit outside the CPU 5.

  When the CPU 5 detects a system abnormality by a signal from the transformer 1, the circuit breaker (not shown) is opened by operating the mechanical relay 7 via the output circuit 8. On the other hand, in the case of the protection operation by the signal from the test signal generation circuit 6, the protection operation result is transmitted to the central monitoring device 9 by the communication circuit 10 without operating the mechanical relay 7. Thereby, the soundness of the protection function can be confirmed.

  As described above, the soundness of the protection function can be confirmed by the test signal generated by the test signal generation circuit 6 while monitoring the signal from the transformer 1, that is, the input from the system. Although the case where the transformer 1 is used has been described above, the same applies to the case where a current transformer is used.

Next, specific examples of protection / monitoring processing by the CPU 5 will be described.
Example 1
In response to a command from the CPU 5, the test signal generation circuit 6 generates a DC signal. The CPU 5 monitors that this DC signal is input as a test signal. Note that the DC signal mentioned here does not define the width (time) and magnitude of the signal, and, for example, a pulse waveform once per cycle is acceptable.

  For example, the DC signal generated by the test signal generation circuit 6 is a pulse signal as shown in the upper part of FIG. 3A, and the signal generation interval t1, the signal width t2, and the signal magnitude d are defined. . Then, the output signal of the A / D converter 4 shown in FIG. 3B is converted into the data of the test signal generation circuit 6 as shown in FIG. And transformer 1 data. In addition, the lower stage of Fig.3 (a) has shown the input signal from a system | strain. In FIG. 3C, the upper part shows data of the test signal generation circuit 6, and the lower part shows a signal from the transformer 1.

  As described above, by monitoring these values in the test signal monitoring process of the test signal generation circuit 6, for example, when the input terminal of the changeover switch 2 or the A / D converter 4 is in a failure state, Circuit component failures can be found.

(Example 2)
As shown in FIG. 4, the accuracy of the measurable range can be confirmed by increasing the test signal of the test signal generation circuit 6 stepwise from 0 to the measurable range. Furthermore, as shown in FIGS. 5A and 5B, by increasing the test signal of the test signal generation circuit 6 every sampling, even if a circuit abnormality occurs during one cycle, it is detected immediately. Is possible. 4 and 5, the upper stage shows the test signal of the test signal generation circuit 6, and the lower stage shows the signal from the transformer 1.

(Example 3)
In the above description, the case where the test signal generation circuit 6 generates a DC signal has been described. However, the test signal generation circuit 6 may generate a sine wave signal. Next, confirmation of the protection function using a sine wave will be described.

  The test signal of the test signal generation circuit 6 is a sine wave signal as shown in the upper part of FIG. 6A, and the magnitude and frequency of this signal are values in a range defined by the product specifications of the protective relay device 100. That is, the protection function is operated as a specified value. Then, the output signal of the A / D converter 4 shown in FIG. 6B is converted into the data of the test signal generation circuit 6 as shown in FIG. And transformer 1 data. The lower part of FIG. 6A shows an input signal from the system. Further, the upper part of FIG. 6C shows data of the test signal generation circuit 6, and the lower part shows a signal from the transformer 1.

  Thereby, it can substitute for the relay test currently implemented at the time of the periodic inspection of the protective relay apparatus 100. FIG. By periodically collecting the data of the operation results by the central monitoring device 9 using the communication circuit 10 mounted on the protective relay device 100, the central monitoring device 9 can confirm the operation change of the protection function. .

Example 4
In the third embodiment, the test signal is a sine wave, and the protection function of the protective relay device 100 is operated on the test waveform. However, in the fourth embodiment, the test signal is used for monitoring the analog measuring circuit 3 of the protective relay device 100. Explain the case.

  The test signal generation circuit 6 outputs a test signal having a predetermined value (for example, the maximum value in the measurable range) as a sine wave. The CPU 5 performs common protection and monitoring processing on the captured test signal with the monitoring data, and compares it with a predetermined value. FIG. 7 illustrates a specific embodiment thereof.

  In this method, since the test signal of the test signal generation circuit 6 is equivalent to the system, that is, the current and voltage input from the transformer 1, in addition to the soundness of the analog measurement circuit 3 and the A / D converter 4, The internal protection and monitoring processing of the CPU 5 can be diagnosed in real time, and a highly reliable protective relay device 100 can be realized.

(Example 5)
Further, when the CPU 5 has the measurement display processing unit 12 as shown in FIG. 8, the conversion result by the test signal is displayed on the display screen of the display means 11, so that the user of the protective relay device 100 can change the system, It becomes possible to compare and confirm the measured value by the input from the device 1 and the measured value by the test signal on the screen.

  By making it possible to specify the magnitude of the test signal by the operation function of the protective relay device 100, the user specifies an arbitrary value in the measurable range of the analog measurement circuit 3, and the soundness with respect to that value is specified. Can be visually confirmed, and the communication circuit 10 can also check the soundness of the central monitoring device 9.
