Possible problems in the field test
The loop resistance tester designed according to the conventional design principle found that there is a common problem in the field test: when the tester voltage wiring loop has poor contact or open circuit, the tester will also display a value, and the following will appear at this time Condition:
(1) The voltage loop is open and there is no strong electric field interference at the test site. In this case, since the differential mode voltage input by the amplifier is basically 0, the test value displayed by the instrument is close to 0. If the tester has sufficient field test experience, It can be judged that the test line of the voltage loop of the instrument is abnormal. After the abnormality of the test line of the voltage loop of the instrument is eliminated, the final correct test result can be obtained;
(2) The voltage circuit is in poor contact. In most cases, the wiring terminals of the circuit breaker will have an oxide film or oil film on the outer surface of the terminal block after long-term operation. It may be possible when the voltage test clamp of the loop resistance meter is connected to such a terminal block. In case of poor contact, both the voltage test wire clamp itself will also produce a certain contact resistance. When the contact resistance reaches the value equivalent to the internal resistance of the voltage sampling loop, it will have a serious impact on the test results.
(3) The voltage circuit is open or poorly connected (the contact resistance R1 is infinite when the circuit is open), and there is strong electromagnetic interference at the test site, such as the busbar is charged. At this time, the charged busbar passes through the capacitor with air as the medium, which interferes with the two parts of the tester. A voltage test line, due to interference, makes a differential mode voltage appear at both ends of the loop tester's voltage collection line.
