Simulation, Design, and Test of a Dual-Differential D-Dot Overvoltage Sensor Based on the Field-Circuit Coupling Method.

Accurate measurement of overvoltage in power grids is of great significance to study the characteristics of overvoltage and design of insulation coordination. Based on the research of D-dot voltage sensor, we designed a Dual-Differential D-dot overvoltage sensor. In order to quantify the structural parameters of the sensor, improve the performance and measurement accuracy of the sensor. The Field-Circuit Coupling method was proposed to be used in the parameter design of D-dot overvoltage sensor. The joint simulation of space electromagnetic field model and equivalent circuit model of the Dual-Differential D-dot overvoltage sensor was established with the finite element simulation software Ansoft Maxwell and circuit simulation software Simplorer. Finally, the actual sensor was manufactured. A test platform was built to verify the steady-state and transient performance of the sensor. The results show that the Dual-Differential D-dot sensor has excellent steady-state and transient performance, the error of phase and amplitude are small, and the sensor can achieve the non-contact measurement of power transmission line. Simultaneously, the rationality of the Field-Circuit Coupling method was further verified.
