The invention discloses an online insulating property repairing method and device during operation of crosslinked polyethylene power cables and belongs to the field of cable insulation repairing. According to the online repairing method, in the cable operation process, the cables are filled with a repairing solution, that is, an electric field is provided in the cable repairing process, a water tree channel is opened, the repairing effect is better, the cable power outage repairing time is shortened, meanwhile, the cable is in both working and repairing states, and the cable operation reliability is improved. The repairing manner is characterized in that the electric field is applied to the cables, the cable repairing effect is improved, the cable power-outage maintenance time is obviously shortened, the medium and long-term repairing effect of cables as well as the repairing effect of long-distance and small-section cables are good, and the method and the device have the advantages of being advanced in technology, safe, stable, low in cost and wide in application range.
