The present embodiment relates to a leakage current monitoring system, and more particularly, based on a remote meter reading network using a remote metering network to monitor leakage current of a low voltage power line section from a transformer secondary side to a low voltage power supply premises including a home. The present invention relates to a power line leakage current monitoring system and a method of operating the same.

Electricity supplied to each household (consumer) through Jeonju (telephone) is supplied to the main breaker, earth leakage breaker and section breaker in the premises. Accordingly, when a certain leakage current is generated in each home, the ground fault breaker operates to stop the power supply. At this time, if the abnormal fault of each home is eliminated and the earth leakage breaker is operated, the normal power supply is resumed.

On the other hand, the electric power meter from the secondary side of the transformer of the pole is usually composed of a lead wire composed of a DV cable or a low voltage power cable. In addition, fuses used as lead wire protection devices in electric poles are protected only when over current of 38 ~ 100A.

Conventionally, current leakage of lead wires is not detected unless it is in an accident level such as lead wire shortage, and dangerous situations such as occurrence of live parts due to friction of lead wires and conductive objects due to deterioration of insulation of the lead wires, wind and rain cannot be predicted. .

That is, conventionally, a method of detecting current leakage by using a difference between a meter reading amount of electric power provided from a pole and a usage amount of each household is used, but such a current leakage detection method does not consider current leakage of a lead wire itself. It could not be used as a tool to judge and manage the health of electrical installations.

The problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a power line leakage current monitoring system that can monitor the leakage current of the power supply line (lead wire) for providing power to each home.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a method of operating a power line leakage current monitoring system.

Include a remote monitoring server.

The leakage current sensor outputs the leakage current value from the difference between the voltage signal supplied in the customer direction and the voltage signal returned from the customer.

The data concentrator generates the leakage current data by analog-to-digital converting the leakage current value.

The data concentrator sends the leakage current data to the remote monitoring server using power line communication.

The transformer converts the high voltage signal provided from the high voltage line of the pole into a low voltage signal and outputs the low voltage signal. The power line is a low voltage power line for supplying the low voltage signal output from the transformer to the at least one customer.

The remote monitoring server may include: a storage unit storing a leakage current average value, a rating determination unit comparing the transmitted leakage current data and the leakage current average value, and determining a quality of the power line according to a comparison result, and the rating determination unit. And an event processor for generating an event according to the determination result.

The rating determiner generates a plurality of sections by applying a predetermined deviation value to the average leakage current value, and extracts one section corresponding to the leakage current data from the plurality of sections to determine the quality of the power line. .

According to another aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method of operating a power line leakage current monitoring system, the method including sensing a leakage current value from a power line, and converting the sensed leakage current value into leakage current data. And comparing the stored leakage current average value with the leakage current data to determine the quality of the power line and generating an event according to the determination result.

The sensing of the leakage current value may include sensing a difference between a supply current supplied from the power line in a customer direction and a return current returned from the customer.
