The invention discloses a digital gas density
relay with a self-diagnosis function and a self-diagnosis method of the
relay. The digital gas density
relay comprises a gas density detection sensor, anintelligent
control unit, an annunciator, a communication module, a normally open
electric control valve and a normally closed
electric control valve; one end of the normally open
electric control valve is provided with an interface communicated with
electrical equipment, the other end of the normally open electric control valve is communicated with one end of the normally closed electric controlvalve, the other end of the normally closed electric control valve is communicated with air, and the gas density detection sensor is arranged on a gas path between the normally open electric control valve and the normally closed electric control valve; the
intelligent control unit is connected with the gas density detection sensor, the annunciator, the communication module, the normally open electric control valve and the normally closed electric control valve to complete on-line monitoring of the gas density value of the
electrical equipment and control the annunciator to control switching ofthe on-off states of the normally-open electric control valve and the normally-closed electric control valve. The gas density of the gas-insulated or arc-extinguished
electrical equipment is monitored, meanwhile, online self-inspection or self-diagnosis is completed, maintenance is not needed, the operation and maintenance cost is reduced, and
safe operation of a
power grid is guaranteed.
