Abstract

Disclosed is a power supply for measuring the line impedance of an underground cable, which includes an input terminal section having a plurality of input terminals, a plurality of autotransformers, a transformer adjustment tap, a plurality of 3rd-harmonics cancellation transformers, and an output terminal section having a plurality of output terminals. The autotransformers are connected respectively to the input terminals. The transformer adjustment tap is connected to all of the autotransformers. The 3rd-harmonics cancellation transformers are connected respectively to the autotransformers. The output terminals are connected respectively to the 3rd-harmonics cancellation transformers. The autotransformers are simultaneously controlled by the transformer adjustment tap so as to uniformly boost the powers supplied respectively to the autotransformers, and 3rd-harmonics of the powers are cancelled in the 3rd-harmonics cancellation transformers to remove noise, so that the powers are stably applied respectively to the phases of the underground cable.

Claims (8)

1. A power supply for measuring line impedance of an underground cable, comprising:

a power source,

an input terminal section including a plurality of input terminals connected individually to the power source;

a plurality of autotransformers connected respectively to the input terminals of the input terminal section;

a transformer adjustment tap connected to all of the autotransformers;

a plurality of 3rd-harmonics cancellation transformers connected respectively to the autotransformers; and

an output terminal section including a plurality of output terminals connected respectively to the 3rd-harmonics cancellation transformers, wherein said power supply measures line impedance of an underground cable.

2. The power supply according to claim 1 , further comprising an overcurrent breaker of a specific capacity formed between the input terminal section and the 3rd-harmonics cancellation transformers.
