Abstract

Research and development for the technology, that is about maintenance and accidents prevention of underground power distribution line, are demanding. The precise detection of leakage point of underground power line is very important, because it is difficult to detect the exact location of a fault in underground power line and to repair faults. When earth electric potential is measured to detect underground electric leakage point after transmitting AC electric pulse wave to underground power line, it must be measured in a specific half period of AC pulse wave because the distribution of the electric earth potential varies with the polarity of the transmitted wave. In this paper we proposed the measurement of half period modulated earth potential as a method to detect a underground leakage point. And We compared the proposed method with other methods. Through experiments we verified that the proposed method can be implemented and operated properly.

증가 추세인 지중 전력설비의 사고 예방과 유지 보수를 위한 기술 연구 개발 요구가 증가하고 있다. 지중선로의 경우 누전 불량의 점유율이 높고 보수도 어려워 정확한 누전점 위치의 탐지가 중요하다. 교류 송신파를 누전점을 가지는 지중선로에 인가하여 발생시킨 교류 대지전위를 측정하여 누전점의 위치를 찾는 방법은 송신파 특정 극성반주기에 교류 대지전위를 동기화하여 비교 판단하여야 한다. 송신파의 특정 극성의 반주기와 동기화하는 기존 방법을 설명하고, 송신파 반주기 변조된 대지 전위 측정 방식을 제안하고 소개하였다. 실험을 통하여 제안한 방식이 구현 가능함을 확인하였다.
