Introduction

Standard Overview and Technical Evolution

DL/T 357-2019, as the core standard of the power industry, replaces the 2010 version and puts forward stricter technical requirements for traveling wave ranging devices. The main upgrades include: Network security protection function (newly added Section 4.3.12), Electromagnetic compatibility requirements (adding pulse magnetic field and damped oscillation magnetic field tests), Communication protocol (mandatory DL/T 860 protocol) and other 15 technical improvements.


Analysis of key technical requirements

4.1 Environmental adaptability

Parameters2010 Edition2019 Edition
Operating temperature-10℃~+55℃-25℃~+70℃ (extended)
Storage temperatureUnspecified-25℃~+55℃
Electromagnetic compatibility6 tests9 tests (newly added pulsed magnetic field, etc.)

4.4 Core Performance Indicators

  • Range measurement error: two-terminal method ≤500m or 0.5% (DC line transition resistance ≤300Ω)
  • Time synchronization: timing error <1μs, timing error <1μs/3min
  • Sampling frequency: ≥1MHz (supports 4ms traveling wave data recording)

Implementation points and cases

Typical application scenarios

In a 500kV line lightning fault, The traveling wave ranging device calculated the fault point to be 128.6 km from the M end through the double-end method (M end timestamp: 2023-05-12T14:23:45.123456, N end: 2023-05-12T14:23:45.123892), which is only 82 meters away from the actual fault tower location.

Inspection and implementation recommendations

  1. Type test: Focus on verifying the newly added pulse magnetic field immunity (GB/T 17626.9) and network security functions
  2. On-site installation: Ensure the impedance matching of the CT secondary side signal extraction line (4.11.b clause)
  3. Operation and maintenance management: It is recommended to establish a traveling wave ranging master station system to realize multi-device collaborative analysis
