摘要:
A method and apparatus for identifying an open phase of a circuit breaker on the basis of voltage. The method comprises: a protection apparatus measures three-phase voltages (Ua, Ub, Uc, UA, UB, UC) at two sides (M, N) of a circuit breaker (B); respectively calculates a vector difference and an effective value of the voltages at two sides of the circuit breaker; when the phase voltages at two sides are both greater than 80% to 90% of a rated voltage, and the voltage vector difference at two sides of the one-phase or two-phase circuit breaker is greater than a set voltage, it is determined that the circuit breaker has an open phase; and actuates an alarming or tripping operation after a short time delay t. The method and the corresponding apparatus can solve the problem of the failure in recognizing an open phase by a traditional negative-sequence current criterion when a circuit breaker has an open phase in the case of light load; and moreover, three-phase inconsistent contact is not needed, and the method and apparatus are also suitable for a three-phase linked circuit breaker.
摘要:
The present invention discloses a method for detecting open phase of a startup/standby transformer based on optical CT. A startup/standby transformer in a power plant is in a no-load condition for a long time as a standby power supply. Once a single-phase open phase fault occurs, there is no significant change in the voltage phasor and voltage sequence component of each side. If not found in time, the defect may pose a great threat to the safe operation of the power plant. In the present invention, the optical CT is used to detect a three-phase current of the high-voltage side of the startup/standby transformer. If the current satisfies an open phase criterion, it is determined that an open phase fault occurs, and then, an alarm signal is given after a delay and an operator is informed to handle the fault in time. Therefore, the operation reliability of the startup/standby transformer system in the power plant is enhanced.
