Research and Design of Fault Indicator Using Comprehensive Detection and Identification Method

With the progress and development of society, the power supply quality of power system is required to be higher and higher. It is necessary to locate the fault and remove it quickly. Therefore, it is necessary to install fault indicator on distribution line to improve the efficiency of finding fault location. As an important part of distribution network, the 10kV overhead line has the characteristics of many branches, wide coverage area, time-consuming and labor-consuming in line inspection and maintenance. The fault indicators currently used have problems such as complex structure, high cost of installation and deployment, and inaccurate fault detection. In this paper, a new type of fault indicator is proposed, which uses the comprehensive fault detection method. DSP processor is used to collect, calculate and process the voltage and current information of power grid. Through the embedded programming language, the comprehensive fault detection and identification is realized. Finally, the acquisition accuracy and fault judgment accuracy of the fault indicator are tested by simulating the fault signal in the laboratory. The experimental results show that the proposed fault indicator has high accuracy and can meet the requirements of fault indication, location and alarm.
