Discuss the working principle and importance of the small current grounding selection device, and understand its application in power systems.

The small current grounding line selection device, abbreviated as the line selection device, is one of the key devices to ensure the safety of the power grid. It helps quickly locate fault points by monitoring and selecting currents, avoiding losses caused by prolonged power outages.

So, how exactly does this small current grounding line selection device work? First, it utilizes the basic characteristics of current. Under normal conditions, the grounding current in the power system is very small. When a grounding fault occurs, the current rapidly increases, and the line selection device judges the fault line based on the change in current.

The core technology of the small current line selection device lies in its highly sensitive current detection system. When a grounding fault occurs, the device can capture current changes in real time and analyze them through internal algorithms to quickly lock onto the fault line. The speed of this process can be described as "lightning fast," making fault handling much quicker.

The structure of the small current grounding line selection is relatively complex, but its core components include: current sensors, microprocessors, and display modules. The current sensor is responsible for capturing current information; the microprocessor performs data analysis and processing; the display module presents fault information to the operator in an intuitive way.

The small current grounding line selection device is widely used in various power facilities, including substations, distribution networks, and industrial power systems. Whether in urban power supply or rural power grids, they silently guard our electricity safety.

The main factors of insufficient selection principle for small current grounding.

The automatic line selection technology for small current grounding is a challenging problem. Its difficulty mainly lies in the fact that during a single-phase grounding fault, the fault signal is small, unlike other fault types such as two-phase short circuit or two-phase grounding short circuit, which have much larger fault signals. The types of single-phase grounding faults are complex and uncertain, including full grounding faults, intermittent arc grounding, grounding with unstable resistance, and grounding through branches (high-resistance grounding), among others.
