Research on Fault Location of SF6 Circuit Breaker Relay Coil Based on Traveling-Wave Reflection Method

Abstract

Abstract —The traveling wave-reflection method is proposed to locate the short circuit fault of the opening/closing coil of the circuit breaker, the capacitance and inductance matrix of the opening/closing coil are calculated by finite element simulation, and the wave impedance model of the coil is established based on ATP-EMTP. A low-voltage square wave pulse signal is injected into the head end of the winding to detect the characteristic curve of the reflected wave when an inter-turn short-circuit fault occurs. The generalized fractal dimension of reflection wave characteristic curve was calculated and its variation as the position of short circuit change was analysed. Compared with box dimension, the variation of information dimension and correlation dimension are more obvious, thus information dimension and correlation dimension are selected as inpus, and the evaluation model of inter-turn short circuit position is established based on probabilistic neural network.
