Measuring Principle for Ior Leakage Current |
It is observed that the load connected to the low voltage side of the transformer generates the harmonics in the current flow in the power line. And it is observed that5th and 7th harmonics current causes the phenomenon of voltage drop at the high voltage side of the transformer.
This voltage drop at high voltage side added the drops of other related power line generates the terminal voltage with harmonics at low voltage side. Thus, 5th and 7th harmonics is generated at the low voltage side by the influence of high voltage side, and it is considered the ratio of 5th and 7th harmonics current is always constant. Consequently, the ratio of 5th and 7th harmonics flowing into earth line is changed proportionally according to the ratio of capacitive component and resistive component in the circuit.
On the other hand, when the long line is used, it is observed that the fundamental current component into earth line is increased proportionally and the ratio of 5th and 7th harmonics is also changed due to the increase of capacitance and inductance of the circuit. By above fact, the calculation factor can be obtained by the measured ratio of 5th and 7th harmonics current and fundamental current component into earth line. Thus,the resistive leakage current Iorcan be obtained by the computation of the culculation factor and compensation factor of the circuit.
And it is reported that the satisfactory test result was observed from our many practical field tests in Japan.
