An Online Monitoring Method for Low-Frequency Dielectric Loss Angle of Mining Cables

Abstract

The dielectric loss angle can better reflect the overall insulation level of mining cables, so it is necessary to implement reliable and effective online monitoring of the dielectric loss angle of mining cables. In order to improve the monitoring accuracy of the dielectric loss angle tan δ of mining cables, a low-frequency dielectric loss angle online monitoring method combining signal injection method and double-end synchronous measurement method is proposed in this paper. Firstly, the superiority of the low-frequency signal in improving the detection accuracy of dielectric loss angle is explained, and the feasibility of the low-frequency signal injection method is analyzed. Secondly, the cable leakage is calculated using the double-terminal synchronous measurement method to measure the core current at the first and last ends of the cable, and the phase sum of the voltage at the first and last ends is selected as the reference phase quantity to realize the effective calculation of the dielectric loss angle tan δ of the cable. Then, the simulation model for online monitoring of dielectric loss angle of mining cable is built, and the feasibility of the online monitoring method proposed in this paper is verified by combining the simulation results. Finally, the theoretical and simulation analysis of the monitoring error of dielectric loss angle of mining cable is carried out.

“…As described in literature [40], the tangent of dielectric loss angle for the insulation medium can be calculated by the rate between the currents flowing through the equivalent insulation resistance of insulation medium and the equivalent distribution capacitance of insulation medium. Hence, the measurement Φ can be called the angle of dielectric loss of the measurement field, which is related to the effective dielectric loss tangent in the measurement field.…”
