Electromagnetic Disturbed Mechanism of Electronic Current Transformer Acquisition Card under High Frequency Electromagnetic Interference

The electronic current transformer (ECT) acquisition card is widely used in smart grids with many advantages. However, with the continuous improvement of the power grid and localized intelligent electronic devices, the electromagnetic environment under the operating conditions of gas insulated switchgear (GIS) substations is becoming more complicated. The reliability and safety of the ECT acquisition card will be endangered due to the complicated electromagnetic environment. In order to solve these problems, this paper investigates the electromagnetic disturbed mechanism of the ECT acquisition card. The effects of different grounding methods on the electromagnetic interference of the ECT acquisition card were studied. A platform based on IEC 61000-4-4 was built, and the electromagnetic interference (EMI) of the ECT acquisition card with different grounding methods was measured. The results show that the lower grounding impedance of the ECT acquisition system increased the internal EMI. Further, the high frequency electrical fast transient/burst coupling mechanism was analyzed. The parasitic parameters of the acquisition card were extracted based on the critical circuit by using the finite element method. Then, the high-frequency EMI coupling model of the ECT acquisition card was established.
