Abstract

An improved internturn short circuit detection device of transformer via differential voltage comprises a single-phase transformer (TM). The single-phase transformer (TM) comprises a high-voltage coil (K) and a low-voltage coil (N). A voltage transformer (PT) is positioned at the high voltage side of the single-phase transformer (TM). Two branches of a tap (K 1 ) of the high-voltage coil (K) are connected with the input of a first converter (Q′), and a first voltage (U 1 ′) is obtained. The secondary side of the voltage transformer (PT) is connected with the input of a second converter (Q), and a second voltage (U 1 ) is obtained, and the first voltage (U 1′ ) and the second voltage (U 1 ) are compared, and when the voltage difference is above a predetermined primary threshold value, an interturn short circuit failure of the primary side is determined. A tap (N 1 ) of the low-voltage coil (N) and one terminal of the low-voltage coil (N) are connected with the input of a third converter (M′), and a third voltage (U 2′ ) is obtained, and two terminals of the low-voltage (N) are connected with the input of a fourth converter (M), and a fourth voltage (U 2 ) is obtained, and the third voltage (U 2′ ) and the fourth voltage (U 2 ) are compared, and when the voltage difference is above a predetermine secondary threshold value, an interturn short circuit failure of the secondary side is determined.
