    摘要: A method for reducing and/or managing energy-related stress in an electrical system includes processing electrical measurement data from or derived from energy-related signals captured by at least one intelligent electronic device (IED) in the electrical system to identify and track at least one energy-related transient in the electrical system. An impact of the at least one energy-related transient on equipment in the electrical system is quantified, and one or more transient-related alarms are generated in response to the impact of the at least one energy-related transient being near, within or above a predetermined range of the stress tolerance of the equipment. The transient-related alarms are prioritized based in part on at least one of the stress tolerance of the equipment, the stress associated with one or more transient events, and accumulated energy-related stress on the equipment. One or more actions are taken in the electrical system in response to the transient-related alarms to reduce energy-related stress on the equipment in the electrical system.

    摘要: Methods and systems for detecting partial discharge in a stator for an electric motor are provided. An exemplary method includes applying a high voltage AC sinewave input signal to the stator and energizing at least one winding therein. The method includes sensing a first resulting load signal occurring in the stator with a first device and filtering the first resulting load signal to form a first high frequency signal indicating any partial discharge (PD) voltage occurring in the stator. The method also includes sensing a second resulting load signal occurring in the stator with a second device and filtering the second resulting load signal to form a second high frequency signal indicating any partial discharge voltage occurring in the stator. Further, the method includes processing the first and second high frequency signals to form a processed signal indicating whether partial discharge occurred.

    摘要: A relay diagnosis apparatus includes a first voltage detection circuit to generate first and second diagnosis voltages between positive and negative electrode terminals of a battery assembly and a chassis, respectively; and a controller to determine first and second insulation resistances between the positive and negative electrode terminals and the chassis, respectively, based on the first and second diagnosis voltages at first and second time points while respective relays are controlled into an off-state. The controller determines third and fourth insulation resistances between the positive and negative electrode terminals and the chassis, respectively, based on the first and second diagnosis voltages at third and fourth time points while the first and second relays are controlled into an on-state. The controller detects relay faults based on the insulation resistances.

    摘要: The disclosure discloses a method and device for monitoring partial discharge. The monitoring method including: step a, connecting a monitoring circuit in parallel to both ends of a tested product, disposing a ground wire between the monitoring circuit and ground, disposing a first sensor in the monitoring circuit, and disposing a ground wire sensor on the ground wire; step b, applying an excitation signal to the tested product, acquiring a first signal through the first sensor and acquiring a ground wire signal through the ground wire sensor within a monitoring cycle; and step c, determining whether the tested product has partial discharge through the first signal and the ground wire signal. The disclosure can avoid the partial discharge monitoring device from wrongly determining an interference signal to be a partial discharge signal, enhance anti-interference capability of the partial discharge monitoring device, and improve monitoring accuracy.
