The invention belongs to the technical field of high-
voltage tests and discloses a high-performance
epoxy insulator local overheating defect
simulation system and method. The
system comprises a heating module and a
temperature control module, wherein the temperature heating module is arranged in a reserved opening in the middle of an insulating support, a grounding
copper sheet is arranged at an upper end of the heating module, and an
epoxy insulating part to be tested is arranged at an upper end of the grounding
copper sheet; the
temperature control module comprises an adjustable direct-
current voltage source, a temperature sensor and a temperature digital display meter, the adjustable direct-
current voltage source and the temperature sensor are respectively connected with the heating module, and the temperature digital display meter is connected with the temperature sensor. The
system is advantaged in that the
temperature control device is installed on a lower surface of the grounding
copper sheet, the
electric field borne by the sample is not affected, meanwhile, the temperature control device is isolated from the high-
voltage part, and therefore the temperature control device can work safely and normally, the power is adjusted manually, the temperature of the point is controlled, and the temperature of other parts of the tested sample is not affected; and
simulation of the local overheating defect of the
epoxy insulating part is completed.
