Description

  The present invention provides a resistive current component included in the zero-phase current based on detection information of a zero-phase current detection sensor that detects a zero-phase current in a single-phase AC or three-phase AC circuit in which one wire is grounded. In order to perform an operation test of the insulation monitoring device that performs insulation monitoring of the electric circuit, and a test current generator for the insulation monitoring device that supplies a test current to a detection target location of the zero-phase current detection sensor, and The present invention relates to a test apparatus for an insulation monitoring apparatus.

Low voltage of transformer that converts voltage from high voltage line of 6.6kV to 200V 3-phase 3-wire, single-phase 3-wire, 100V single-phase 2-wire, etc. Insulation monitoring is performed by installing a zero-phase current transformer on the side ground wire (generally a B-type ground wire).
As a method for performing such insulation monitoring, the zero-phase current detected by the zero-phase current transformer roughly represents a state in which the current balance between the lines is broken due to the ground fault current. A simple monitoring method that only evaluates the magnitude of the zero-phase current is also conceivable.
However, the zero-phase current contains capacitive current components that flow through the noise filter installed in the ground capacitance of the circuit and equipment and the power supply of the information equipment, and simply evaluates the magnitude of the zero-phase current. In this method, it is difficult to accurately evaluate a pure ground fault current.
For this reason, since leakage is via a deteriorated insulation resistance, a method of detecting a resistive current component as a pure ground fault current has been considered, and a minute voltage with a frequency lower than the commercial frequency is applied to the ground line. And a ground fault current is obtained by detecting a current in phase with the injected voltage with a zero-phase current transformer, or a zero-phase current transformer as described in Patent Document 1 below is detected. A method of extracting a resistive current component, which is a current component in phase with a voltage, from a zero-phase current is vectorized.
Comparing the two methods, the former method is very expensive due to the necessity of a transformer for injecting a low-frequency voltage although the detection accuracy is high, whereas the latter method is A sufficiently good detection accuracy can be obtained with an inexpensive system configuration.

When insulation monitoring is performed by these methods, it is necessary to check that insulation monitoring is performed with sufficient accuracy, and the insulation monitoring apparatus is regularly tested.
In the insulation monitoring apparatus of the latter type that extracts a resistive current component from the zero-phase current in a vector manner, the insulation monitoring apparatus has conventionally been tested, for example, by passing a test winding of a zero-phase current transformer. In the state where the insulation monitoring device is monitoring the insulation, the test current is passed through the test winding to check whether the insulation monitoring device operates properly. Remove the zero-phase current transformer from the power line monitored by the monitoring device, and pass the test winding through the removed zero-phase current transformer. A way to check if it works is taken.

However, the power failure of the monitoring target circuit in order to perform the accuracy test of the insulation monitoring device means that the operation of the power consumer is stopped during that time, and it imposes a great burden on the power consumer. It was.
The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to make it possible to perform an accuracy test of an insulation monitoring device while keeping a live line state without causing a power failure in an electric circuit to be monitored.

1st invention of this application is contained in the said zero phase current based on the detection information of the zero phase current detection sensor which detects the zero phase current of the electric circuit of the single phase alternating current or three phase alternating current by which 1 wire was earth | grounded. Insulation monitoring device for supplying a test current to a detection target location of the zero-phase current detection sensor in order to perform an operation test of the insulation monitoring device that extracts a resistance current component and monitors insulation of the electric circuit in a live state Means for setting a target value of the resistive current component for detection by the insulation monitoring device by flowing the test current, and specifying a phase of the resistive current component Based on the means for presetting reference phase information as information for the detection, the detection information of the zero-phase current, the target value, and the reference phase information , a resistive current component included in the zero-phase current is obtained. The eyes when added together And control means are provided to generate the test current values are obtained, as the control unit, the difference between the detected information of the current component of the resistance included in the setting information and the zero-phase current corresponding to the target value Generated by the amplitude setting means for setting the amplitude of the test current, the basic sine wave generating means for generating a sine wave having a phase set based on the reference phase information, and the basic sine wave generating means. Amplitude adjusting means for adjusting the amplitude of the sine wave to the amplitude set by the amplitude setting means and generating the test current.

On the low-voltage side of the transformer provided in the power supply / distribution facility, one of the single-phase AC or three-phase AC circuits is grounded with a grounding wire. The device detects a zero-phase current with, for example, a zero-phase current transformer, and extracts a pure ground fault current from the detected information.
As shown in FIG. 8, the zero-phase current Io is obtained by a vector symbol method using a resistive current component Ir in phase with the voltage V, and a capacitive current component Ic that is 90 ° out of phase with the resistive current component. If the information for specifying the phase of the voltage V measured by various methods (that is, the phase of the resistive current component Ir) is given as the reference phase information, the zero-phase current A resistive current component Ir, that is, a pure ground fault current can be obtained from the amplitude and phase of Io and the reference phase information.

In this way, in the state where the insulation monitoring device detects the ground fault current, in order to perform an accuracy test of the insulation monitoring device, in the present invention, without interrupting the originally flowing zero-phase current, That is, the accuracy test is performed while the electric circuit is in a live line state.
In order to perform an accuracy test of the insulation monitoring device, it is necessary to control the current flowing through the detection target location of the zero-phase current detector or the zero-phase current detection sensor constituted by the current transformer. The zero-phase current that originally flows as a part of the current that flows through is used as it is.
Therefore, a test current is generated that, when added to the originally flowing zero-phase current, provides a target value of the resistive current component that is desired to flow to the detection target location of the zero-phase current detection sensor.

Whether or not the insulation monitoring device is operating properly can be tested based on whether or not the reaction is shown.
The phase set based on the reference phase information does not necessarily match the phase of the resistive current component of the voltage phase, that is, the zero-phase current, as long as the resistive current component is specified. The test current may be generated by intentionally adding a capacitive current component thereto. For example, the power supply phase of a commercial power source that supplies power to a device for performing an accuracy test of the insulation monitoring device may be used as it is.
Since the insulation monitoring device performs an operation to extract the resistive current component of the zero-phase current, the added capacitive current component should be ignored. Conversely, the added capacitive current component is appropriate. It is also possible to confirm whether or not it has been removed.

Also, the amplitude setting means identifies a resistive current component to be added to the resistive current component of the already flowing zero-phase current, and the basic sine wave generating means sets the phase of the resistive current component. A test current is generated in consideration.
When the phase of the sine wave generated by the basic sine wave generating means is intentionally shifted from the phase of the resistive current component, the amplitude setting means also considers the effect of the phase shift. Will be set.

Using the target sine wave generation means, the zero-phase current detection information at the detection target location, and the sine wave generated by the target sine wave generation means as inputs, the test current is generated so that the two inputs coincide. An operational amplifier circuit is provided.

That is, the test current generated by the output from the operational amplifier circuit flows to the detection target portion of the zero-phase current detection sensor, and the detection information that detects it is input to the operational amplifier circuit.

Yes.
The insulation monitoring device IO includes the test current generation device 5 and the test control device 6, and thus includes a test device for the insulation monitoring device IO.
The test current generated by the test current generator 5 is supplied to the detection target portion of the zero-phase current transformer 1 by the test winding 7 that is passed (wound) through the zero-phase current transformer 1. .

The ground fault current detection device 2 extracts a current component (resistive current component) in phase with the voltage to be monitored from the detected current of the zero-phase current transformer 1 by vector calculation.
As a specific method for extracting the resistive current component, the phase difference between the phase of the zero-phase current and the voltage phase is detected, and the resistance component of the zero-phase current is calculated from the phase difference (angle). However, as described in Patent Document 1, vector calculation may be performed using a phase determination signal generated from a line voltage. In any case, the voltage information of the electric circuit as described above is used. Based on this, it can be extracted appropriately.

As shown in the block diagram of FIG. 2, the test current generator 5 receives from the ground-fault current detector 2 the converted zero-phase current detected by the zero-phase current transformer 1 as a voltage signal, and receives a high-frequency component. A low-pass filter 21 that cuts the output, an A / D converter 22 that converts the output of the low-pass filter 21 into a digital signal, and a resistive current component (voltage) included in the zero-phase current based on the output signal of the A / D converter 22 Current component having the same phase as the analog voltage signal and extracting the effective value as an analog voltage signal, and by passing a test current through the test winding 7, the zero-phase current transformer 1 A differential amplifier circuit 24 that takes the difference between the target value It of the resistive current component for detection and the output signal of the resistive current detector 23, and a sine wave current supplied to the test winding 7 as a test current Generate A sine wave current generation circuit 25, a gain adjustment circuit 26 that adjusts the amplitude of the sine wave current generated by the sine wave current generation circuit 25 based on the output signal of the differential amplifier circuit 24, and a sine wave current generation circuit 25 A phase indicating circuit 27 for setting the phase of the sine wave current to be output, a shunt resistor 28 for monitoring the sine wave current output from the sine wave current generating circuit 25, and the test winding 7 for testing.

It is provided as means for detecting a resistive current component based on the information.

[Operation test of insulation monitoring device IO]
The operation test of the insulation monitoring device IO is performed by transmitting a test execution command from the monitoring center OC to the insulation monitoring device IO.
The monitoring center OC periodically transmits a test execution command to a number of insulation monitoring devices IO under management.
The test execution command is transmitted in a state where the test control device 6 provided in the insulation monitoring device IO is designated as a destination, and the test control device 6 receives the test execution command via the communication circuit 4.
The test control device 6 starts the process shown in FIG. 3 with the reception of the test execution command.

First, even if the command signal which instruct | indicates the output of a warning signal from the ground-fault current detection apparatus 2 is input with respect to the warning signal output device 3, it sets so that a warning signal may not be output (step # 1).
Next, an initial value of the target value It of the resistive current component applied to the detection of the zero-phase current transformer 1 is input to one input of the differential amplifier circuit 24 having a gain of “1” by a feedback resistor (not shown). Set the corresponding voltage value.
This initial value is set to a value sufficiently lower than the current value at which the insulation monitoring device IO issues an alarm.
When this target value It is set, a pure ground fault current Igr1 (resistance of the zero phase current) is detected for the detection signal of the zero phase current input from the ground fault current detection device 2 to the resistive current detector 23. (In step # 3).

Accordingly, a voltage value corresponding to It-Igr1 is output from the differential amplifier circuit 24, and the gain adjustment circuit 26 determines that the effective value of the sine wave current output from the sine wave current generating circuit 25 is It-Igr1. Then, the operation of adjusting the amplitude of the sine wave current waveform is started.
The frequency of the sine wave current generated by the sine wave current generation circuit 25 matches the frequency of the voltage to be monitored, and the phase is designated by the phase indication circuit 27.
The phase instruction circuit 27 sets and stores the phase to be instructed to the sine wave current generation circuit 25 when the insulation monitoring device IO is installed.
That is, when the insulation monitoring device IO is installed, the voltage of the electric circuit to be monitored is input to the zero-crossing phase detection circuit 30, and the voltage of the AC power supply used as the operation power supply of the insulation monitoring device IO (usually, commercial 100 V) is input to the zero-crossing phase detection circuit 31, and the phase difference between the two is obtained by the phase difference detection circuit 32.
Information on the phase difference obtained by the phase difference detection circuit 32 is stored in the phase instruction circuit 27 as reference phase information for specifying the phase of the resistive current component.
This phase difference (reference phase information) is an integral multiple of 30 ° depending on the transformer connection method from the monitoring target circuit to the power source for operation of the insulation monitoring device IO, but unless the wiring is changed. Is unchanged.
The phase indicating circuit 27 generates a sine wave current generation circuit that generates a sine wave current having a phase that matches the voltage phase of the monitored electric circuit from the voltage phase of its own power supply for operation and the stored phase difference. A phase instruction signal is output to 25. That is, all the test currents are resistive current components.
To summarize this test current generation process, the test current generator 5 detects the zero-phase current detection information and the target value of the resistance current component that is detected by the insulation monitoring device IO by flowing the test current. Based on It and the reference phase information, a test current that provides the target value It when the resistive current component included in the zero-phase current (zero-phase current of the ground line EB) is added is obtained. It will be generated.

From the above, the resistive current component detection unit 23 and the differential amplifier circuit 24 have the setting information (indicated value of the test control device 6) corresponding to the target value It and the resistive current component included in the zero-phase current. The sine wave current generation circuit 25 and the phase indication circuit 27 function as amplitude setting means AS that sets the amplitude of the test current by taking the difference from the detection information, and the sine wave having the phase set based on the reference phase information. The gain adjusting circuit 26 adjusts the sine wave generated by the basic sine wave generating means SG to the amplitude set by the amplitude setting means AS. Function as.
Further, the test current generator 5 includes a sine wave current generation circuit 25, a gain adjustment circuit 26, and a phase indication circuit 27, thereby generating a test current that generates a test current having a predetermined phase and a variable magnitude. It functions as a generating means.

The test control device 6 instructs the resistive current detector 23 to detect Igr1, and then switches the switch 29 to the ON state to supply the test current to the test winding 7 (step # 4).
The gain adjustment circuit 26 adjusts the amplitude of the sine wave current generated by the sine wave current generation circuit 25 so that the current value detected by the shunt resistor 28 is an effective value and maintains It-Igr1 after the start of supply of the test current. Control.

By causing the test current generated in this way to flow through the test winding 7, the zero-phase current transformer 1 has the zero-phase current that originally flows through the ground wire EB and the test current that flows through the test winding 7. As a resistive current component, the resistive current component Igr1 included in the original zero-phase current and the test current It-Igr1 are added to the added current. It (that is, the target value instructed by the test control device 6) is included.
Thereafter, the test control device 6 stops supplying the test current by turning off the switch 29 (step # 6), and increases the target value It by a set amount (for example, 1 mA) (step # 8). The resistive current component detection instruction (step # 3) and the test current supply restart (step # 4) by turning on the switch 29 are repeated. That is, the magnitude of the test current is made to gradually increase.

During this time, the ground fault current detection device 2 is configured such that the resistance current component included in the zero-phase current is set as a current value for executing an operation for issuing a warning as if a ground fault has occurred. When it is detected that the value (for example, 50 mA) or more is detected, the fact is output to the alarm signal output device 3 and the test control device 6 in parallel.
The alarm signal output device 3 is set so as not to output an alarm signal in response to a command from the test control device 6, and does not do anything and maintains the state as it is.
On the other hand, the test control device 6 that has received a signal from the ground fault current detection device 2 indicating that the resistive current component is equal to or greater than the alarm generation current value (step # 5), the test is performed with the switch 29 turned off. After the current supply is stopped (step # 9), it is determined that the target value It at that time is within the detection tolerance of the alarm generation current value. Then, the pass / fail judgment result and the detection error are transmitted to the monitoring center OC (step # 11 ).

  In the above description of the operation, the target set when the insulation monitoring device IO sends a signal indicating that the resistive current component is equal to or higher than the alarm generation current value to the test control device 6. Insulation is performed depending on whether the value It, that is, the target value It set when the insulation monitoring device IO to be tested detects the occurrence of a ground fault is within the detection allowable error of the report generation current value. Although it is determined whether or not the monitoring device IO is operating properly, it is difficult to detect the resistance of the zero-phase current detection sensor ZCT1 when the insulation monitoring device IO to be tested detects the occurrence of a ground fault. The magnitude of the current component is detected by, for example, the output signal of the resistive current detector 23 to obtain the operating value of the insulation monitoring device IO to be tested, and the operating value (the detected value of the resistive current detector 23). ) Is within the specified range By determining whether there may be determined whether the insulation monitoring device IO is operating properly.

  Furthermore, in the above description of the operation, the insulation monitoring device IO should execute an operation in which the resistive current component included in the zero-phase current issues a warning that a ground fault has occurred. As a condition for occurrence and detection operation, the above alarm generation current value is set, and whether or not the detection operation is necessary is determined based on whether or not the current value is exceeded. In the process of setting the detection range to detect and detect and gradually increasing the test current, the resistance current component is detected below the lower limit of the detection range that the insulation monitoring device IO detects as the occurrence of ground fault. It may be possible to test whether or not the insulation monitoring device IO is operating properly by detecting whether or not the detection operation is performed below the upper limit without being operated.

When a series of tests are completed in this way, a signal indicating that the resistance current component is equal to or higher than the alarm generation current value is received from the ground fault current detection device 2 to the alarm signal output device 3. In some cases, a signal for returning the alarm signal to the alarm signal output state is output to return the insulation monitoring device IO to the normal monitoring state (step # 12).
On the other hand, even if the target value It is increased to an upper limit value (set to a value that is somewhat higher than the alarm generation current value), the target current It becomes equal to or greater than the alarm generation current value from the ground fault current detection device 2. If no signal indicating that this is output (step # 7), the test result is determined to be unacceptable (step # 10), and the fact is transmitted (step # 11).
In the monitoring center OC that has received a test pass / fail judgment result or the like from the test control device 6 of the insulation monitoring device IO, if the test result is unsuccessful, a necessary remedial action is taken.

In addition, the above has illustrated the case where the test current generated by the test current generator 5 is configured as a sine wave current having only the resistive current component in the same phase as the voltage phase of the circuit to be monitored. However, the phase indicated by the phase indication circuit 27 may be shifted from the voltage phase to some extent. Even when the phase is shifted in this way, the gain adjustment circuit 26 generates a sinusoidal current in accordance with the phase shift to be generated so that the resistive current component included in the test current becomes It-Igr1. Set the amplitude higher.
Even if the phase-shifted test current is supplied in this way, the same result as the above test can be obtained if the function of extracting the resistive current component of the ground fault current detection device 2 is functioning properly. Thus, the function of the ground fault current detection device 2 can be checked in a wider range.
Furthermore, the test is performed by matching the phase of the test current with the voltage phase to be monitored and supplying only the resistive current component to the test winding 7, and the phase of the test current is shifted from the voltage phase to be monitored. Then, the test may be performed more strictly by performing both the test performed by supplying the test winding 7 and the test performed.

Second Embodiment
In the first embodiment, the test current supplied to the test winding 7 is a sine wave current, whereas in the second embodiment of the present invention, the test current generator 5 supplies the test current to the test winding. As a result of the supply to the line 7, the current applied to the detection of the zero-phase current transformer 1 (the current obtained by adding the test current and the original zero-phase current) is controlled to be a sine wave current. The internal configuration of the test current generator 5 is different from that in the first embodiment, and accordingly, the control mode of the test controller 6 is slightly different.
All other parts are the same as in the first embodiment.

As shown in FIG. 4, the test current generator 5 of the second embodiment receives from the ground fault current detector 2 the zero phase current detected by the zero phase current transformer 1 as it is converted into a voltage signal. Low-pass filter 21 that cuts off high-frequency components and the total current (current that flows through ground wire EB and current that flows through test winding 7) that flows through the detection target location of zero-phase current transformer 1 A sine wave generating circuit 41 for setting a control target, and an amplitude setting circuit 42 for setting the amplitude of the sine wave voltage generated by the sine wave generating circuit 41 according to the target value It sent from the test control device 6. An operational amplifier circuit 43 that receives the output of the low-pass filter 21 and the output of the sine wave generation circuit 41, a phase indication circuit 27 that sets the phase of the sine wave voltage generated by the sine wave generation circuit 41, and insulation monitoring Target of A zero-cross phase detection circuit 30 for detecting a voltage phase at a certain location, a zero-cross phase detection circuit 31 for detecting a voltage phase of an AC power source used as an operation power source for the insulation monitoring device IO, and zero-cross phase detection circuits 31 and 30 A phase difference detection circuit 32 that obtains the difference and obtains the phase difference between the two is provided.
In addition, about the component which is common in the said 1st Embodiment, the same code | symbol as the said 1st Embodiment is attached | subjected.

The signal received by the low-pass filter 21 from the ground fault current detection device 2 is the same as that in the first embodiment, and the operational amplifier circuit 43 includes the test winding 7, the zero-phase current transformer 1, and the ground fault current detection device 2. A feedback circuit using the low-pass filter 21 as a feedback loop path is formed.
Therefore, the operational amplifier circuit 43 controls the test current so that the input signal from the low-pass filter 21 and the input signal from the sine wave generation circuit 41 match.
The amplitude setting circuit 42 is a sine whose effective value is “It” based on the conversion characteristic of converting the zero-phase current into voltage in the ground fault current detection device 2 when the target value It is instructed from the test control device 6. A sine wave is generated so as to generate a sine wave voltage having an amplitude matching the zero phase current detection signal sent from the ground fault current detection device 2 to the low pass filter 21 when the zero phase current transformer 1 detects the wave current. Instruct the circuit 41.
The frequency of the sine wave voltage generated by the sine wave generation circuit 41 is matched with the frequency of the voltage to be monitored.
The phase of the sine wave voltage generated by the sine wave generation circuit 41 is set by the phase indication circuit 27, the zero cross phase detection circuit 30, the zero cross phase detection circuit 31, and the phase difference detection circuit 32 that operate in exactly the same manner as in the first embodiment. Is done.
That is, when the insulation monitoring device IO is installed, the phase indicating circuit 27 uses the phase difference between the voltage of the monitoring target circuit and the voltage of the AC power supply used as the operation power supply of the insulation monitoring device IO as the reference phase information. And a sine wave generation circuit 41 so as to generate a sine wave voltage having a phase that matches the voltage phase of the monitoring target electric circuit from the voltage phase of its own operation power supply and the stored phase difference. A phase indication signal is output to

By configuring the test current generator 5 in this way, the result of adding the original zero-phase current and the test current supplied to the test winding 7 to the detection target portion of the zero-phase current transformer 1. Since the sine wave current flows and the phase of the sine wave current matches the voltage phase of the monitored electric circuit, the sine wave current detected by the zero-phase current transformer 1 is a resistive current. It is composed only of components.
To summarize this test current generation process, the test current generator 5 detects the zero-phase current detection information and the target value of the resistance current component that is detected by the insulation monitoring device IO by flowing the test current. Based on It and the reference phase information, a test current that provides the target value It when the resistive current component included in the zero-phase current (zero-phase current of the ground line EB) is added is obtained. It will be generated.
From the above, the sine wave generation circuit 41, the amplitude setting circuit 42, and the phase instruction circuit 27 generate the target sine wave that generates a sine wave having the amplitude and phase set based on the target value It and the reference phase information. It functions as the generation means TS, and the operational amplifier circuit 43 receives the detection information of the zero phase current at the detection target portion and the sine wave generated by the target sine wave generation means TS as an input, and tests so that the two inputs coincide. Generate current.

The operation test of the insulation monitoring device IO including the test current generator 5 having the above configuration is performed under the control of the test control device 6 when a test execution command is received from the monitoring center OC, as in the first embodiment. Executed.
The control operation of the test control device 6 is shown in the flowchart of FIG. 5, and the basic skeleton is common to the flowchart of FIG. 3 in the first embodiment, but an instruction to perform the detection operation of the resistive current component. And the on / off command of the switch 29 before and after that is unnecessary.
The flow of the test operation is set so that the alarm signal output device 3 does not output the alarm signal (step # 21), then the target value It is initialized (step # 22), and the test current generator 5 is energized. By starting, supply of the test current to the test winding 7 is started (step # 23). Thereafter, while gradually increasing the target value It (step # 26), the ground fault current detection device 2 gives an alarm (strictly speaking, a signal indicating that the resistive current component has exceeded the set value). When the output is monitored (step # 24) and an alarm is output, the energization of the test current generator 5 is stopped and the supply of the test current is stopped (step # 27), and then the target value at that time Whether or not the operation value for detecting the ground fault is within the setting allowable range from It (here, the operation value for detecting the ground fault is detected by the insulation monitoring device IO to be tested). Thus, the quality of the operation value is judged (step # 28).
The determination result is transmitted to the monitoring center OC (step # 29). When the test is completed in this way, the alarm signal output device 3 returns to a state where an alarm signal can be output (step # 30).

In the above, the current that flows through the detection target location for the detection of the zero-phase current transformer 1 in the state where the test current generated by the test current generator 5 is passed through the test winding 7 (originally as the test current). In this example, the phase indicating circuit 27 is configured as a sinusoidal current having only a resistive current component in the same phase as the voltage phase of the current circuit to be monitored. The indicated phase may be shifted from the voltage phase to some extent. Even when the phase is shifted in this way, the amplitude setting circuit 42 responds to the generated phase shift so that the resistive current component of the current applied to the detection of the zero-phase current transformer 1 becomes It. Set the amplitude of the sine wave voltage higher.
Even if the test current is supplied so that the phase-shifted current is detected by the zero-phase current transformer 1, the function of extracting the resistive current component of the ground fault current detecting device 2 functions properly. If so, the same result as the above test should be obtained, and the function of the ground fault current detection device 2 can be checked in a wider range.
Furthermore, a test that is performed by supplying the resistive phase component only to the test winding 7 so that the phase of the current applied to the detection of the zero-phase current transformer 1 coincides with the voltage phase to be monitored, and the zero-phase current transformer The test may be performed more strictly by performing both the test performed by shifting the phase of the current for detecting 1 from the voltage phase to be monitored and supplying it to the test winding 7.

<Third Embodiment>
The third embodiment of the present invention is common to the second embodiment in that the current applied to the detection of the zero-phase current transformer 1 is a sine wave current. However, the specific configuration of the test current generator 5 for that purpose is the above. Different from the second embodiment.
In the third embodiment, as shown in FIG. 6, as a means for detecting a zero-phase current flowing in the ground line EB, a zero-phase current transformer 1 (zero) similar to that in the first embodiment and the second embodiment is used. In addition to the phase current detection sensor ZCT1), a zero-phase current transformer 10 is installed as a test zero-phase current detection sensor ZCT2.
As described above, the zero-phase current transformer 10 (test zero-phase current detection sensor ZCT2) detects the zero-phase current in the common circuit with the zero-phase current transformer 1 (zero-phase current detection sensor ZCT1). However, unlike the zero-phase current transformer 1, the test winding 7 is not passed and the test current is not supplied.
Therefore, even if a test current is passed through the test winding 7, the zero-phase current transformer 10 maintains a state in which only the original zero-phase current is detected.
The third embodiment is the same as the second embodiment except that the detection information of the zero-phase current transformer 10 is input to the test current generator 5 and the internal configuration of the test current generator 5 differs accordingly. Common with form.

As shown in FIG. 7, the test current generator 5 of the third embodiment includes an I / V conversion circuit 51 that converts the zero-phase current detected by the zero-phase current transformer 10 into a voltage signal, and an I / V The low-pass filter 21 that cuts the high-frequency component of the output signal of the conversion circuit 51, and the total current (current flowing through the ground line EB and current flowing through the test winding 7) flowing through the detection target location of the zero-phase current transformer 1 The sine wave generation circuit 41 for setting the control target of the sum of the currents) and the amplitude of the sine wave voltage generated by the sine wave generation circuit 41 according to the target value It sent from the test control device 6 An amplitude setting circuit 42 to be set, a differential amplifier circuit 24 that takes the difference between the output of the low-pass filter 21 and the output of the sine wave generation circuit 41, and a test current by converting the output voltage of the differential amplifier circuit 24 into a current V supplied to the test winding 7 as An I conversion circuit 52; a phase indicating circuit 27 for setting the phase of a sine wave voltage generated by the sine wave generation circuit 41; a zero-crossing phase detection circuit 30 for detecting a voltage phase at a target location for insulation monitoring; and an insulation monitoring device IO. A zero-cross phase detection circuit 31 for detecting the voltage phase of an AC power supply used as an operation power source, and a phase difference detection circuit 32 for obtaining a phase difference between the zero-cross phase detection circuits 31 and 30 It has been.
In addition, about the component which is common in the said 1st Embodiment or the said 2nd Embodiment, the same code | symbol as the said 1st Embodiment or the said 2nd Embodiment is attached | subjected.

The differential amplifier circuit 24 is common to that of the first embodiment, and the gain is set to “1” by a feedback resistor (not shown).
Further, the conversion characteristics of the I / V conversion circuit 51 and the V / I conversion circuit 52, and the amplitude level indicated by the amplitude setting circuit 42 are unified by a common conversion standard of voltage and current.
Therefore, the V / I conversion circuit 52 supplies the test winding 7 with the difference between the zero-phase current flowing through the ground line EB and the current corresponding to the sine wave voltage generated by the sine wave generation circuit 41 as the test current. As a result, the zero-phase current transformer 1 that detects the current of the ground wire EB (original zero-phase current) and the current of the test winding 7 together is detected by the sine wave generated by the sine wave generation circuit 41. A sine wave current having a waveform that matches the voltage waveform is detected.

The amplitude setting circuit 42 instructs the sine wave generation circuit 41 to generate a sine wave voltage having an amplitude corresponding to the sine wave current at which the target value It instructed from the test control device 6 is an effective value, and generates a sine wave. The frequency of the sine wave voltage generated by the circuit 41 is matched with the frequency of the voltage to be monitored.
The phase of the sine wave voltage generated by the sine wave generation circuit 41 is the same as that in the first embodiment and the second embodiment. The phase instruction circuit 27, the zero cross phase detection circuit 30, the zero cross phase detection circuit 31, and the level are the same. It is set by the phase difference detection circuit 32.
That is, when the insulation monitoring device IO is installed, the phase indicating circuit 27 uses the phase difference between the voltage of the monitoring target circuit and the voltage of the AC power supply used as the operation power supply of the insulation monitoring device IO as the reference phase information. And a sine wave generation circuit 41 so as to generate a sine wave voltage having a phase that matches the voltage phase of the monitoring target electric circuit from the voltage phase of its own operation power supply and the stored phase difference. A phase indication signal is output to

By configuring the test current generator 5 in this manner, the phase of the sine wave current flowing through the detection target portion of the zero-phase current transformer 1 is the same as the voltage phase of the monitoring target electric circuit, as in the second embodiment. Therefore, the sinusoidal current applied to the detection of the zero-phase current transformer 1 is constituted only by a resistive current component.
To summarize this test current generation process, the test current generator 5 detects the zero-phase current detection information and the target value of the resistance current component that is detected by the insulation monitoring device IO by flowing the test current. Based on It and the reference phase information, a test current that provides the target value It when the resistive current component included in the zero-phase current (zero-phase current of the ground line EB) is added is obtained. It will be generated.
From the above, the sine wave generation circuit 41, the amplitude setting circuit 42, and the phase instruction circuit 27 generate the target sine wave that generates a sine wave having the amplitude and phase set based on the target value It and the reference phase information. The differential amplifying circuit 24 functions as the generation unit TS, and the difference between the detection information of the zero-phase current transformer 10 (the test zero-phase current detection sensor ZCT2) and the sine wave generated by the target sine wave generation unit TS. A test current is generated.

Also in the third embodiment, the operation test of the insulation monitoring device IO is executed under the control of the test control device 6, but the control operation is exactly the same as the second embodiment (that is, the control of FIG. 5). Since the operation is executed), the description thereof is omitted.
Also in the third embodiment, the insulation monitoring device IO may be tested by intentionally shifting the phase of the sine wave voltage of the sine wave generation circuit 41 as in the second embodiment.
Summarizing the above, a reference sine wave having a predetermined phase and having a variable magnitude (an output sine wave of the sine wave generation circuit 41) is configured to include the phase instruction circuit 27, the sine wave generation circuit 41, and the amplitude setting circuit 42. ) And a zero-phase current detected by the zero-phase current detection device (test zero-phase current detection sensor ZCT2) installed in the electric circuit and the test current generated by the test current generator 5 Control means (differential amplifier circuit 24) for generating the test current so that the sum coincides with the reference sine wave is provided, and the insulation monitoring device IO to be tested detects that a ground fault has occurred. The operation value and quality of the insulation monitoring device IO are determined from the magnitude of the reference sine wave at the time.
