The integrated wiring system of intelligent buildings, as the core carrier of information transmission, functions like a "nervous system." It connects signals such as voice, data, and images, enabling device interconnection and efficient information transmission. Cable detection is a key link to ensure system performance and information security, focusing on index detection, problem troubleshooting, and response measures.1. Core Cable Detection Indicators1.1 Appearance and Identification Verific

1 Error Analysis of Traditional Turn Ratio Testing MethodsThe QJ35 turn ratio bridge and other single-phase-phase-based testers all use the double-voltmeter principle. The QJ35, however, eliminates power supply fluctuation interference via bridge balance. For three-phase transformer ratio testing with a single power supply, corresponding terminals must be shorted and data converted, turning three-phase tests into independent single-phase measurements, with √3 Yd conversion based on con

1 Investigation of Insulation Defects in UHV Oil - immersed ReactorsKey challenges in high - voltage oil - filled reactors during operation include insulation faults, iron - core magnetic leakage heating, vibration/noise, and oil leakage.1.1 Insulation FaultsParallel - connected reactors, once connected to the main grid’s primary coil and put into use, operate at full power long - term. Sustained high voltage raises operating temperatures, accelerating aging of coil insulation material

1. IntroductionGrid electronic voltage transformers, as indispensable measuring components in power systems, have their measurement accuracy directly tied to the stable operation and efficient management of power systems. However, in practice, due to the inherent characteristics of electronic components, environmental factors, and limitations of measurement methods, the measurement results of voltage transformers often involve uncertainty. This uncertainty not only impacts the accuracy of power

1 Performance AdvantagesIn recent years, electronic current transformers (ECTs) have emerged as a key industry trend. National standards classify them into two types: Active Optical Current Transformers (AOCTs, active hybrid type) and Optical Current Transformers (OCTs, passive optical type). Active hybrid ECTs use low-power electromagnetic transformers and Rogowski coils as core sensing elements (Figure 1).Rogowski coils outperform traditional sensors with non-saturation and wide dynamic ranges

Hi everyone, I’m Oliver, and I’ve been working in the instrument transformer industry for almost eight years now. From a complete newbie to someone who can now handle things independently, I’ve participated in dozens of combined instrument transformer inspections over the years.Today, I’d like to share with you: What tests must a qualified combined instrument transformer go through before leaving the factory or being put into operation? After all, it's a v

To ensure safe operation of the power system, power equipment operation must be monitored/measured. General devices can’t connect to primary high - voltage equipment directly; instead, large primary currents are scaled down for current transformation, electrical isolation, and use by measurement/protection devices. For AC large - current measurement, conversion to a unified current eases secondary instrument use.Current transformers split into measurement - and protection - type, with

Hey everyone! I’m Oliver, an experienced electrician with over a decade in the power system industry. Today, we’re diving into a practical topic — what tests are required to ensure an Air Insulated Switchgear (AIS) voltage transformer is qualified? These tests are crucial not only for ensuring the device operates correctly but also for maintaining the safety and stability of the power grid. Let’s get started!1.

Hey everyone, I’m Oliver, a 10-year veteran in the power system industry. Today we’re going to talk about a very practical topic — how do you know if a current transformer (CT) used in Air Insulated Switchgear (AIS) is truly qualified? This isn’t just about meeting technical specs; it’s directly tied to equipment safety, grid stability, and accurate metering.Let’s dive in — based on my real-world experience.IntroductionIn subs
