The invention is suitable for the technical field of photovoltaic power stations, and provides a DC cable fault point positioning method and related equipment for a
photovoltaic power station, and the method comprises the steps: at the arc
discharge moment of a DC cable, based on the collected detection
voltage waveform and detection current waveform of a
branch cable where each combiner box is located and the cable parameter of each
branch cable, determining the fault point of the DC cable; determining the total
inductance from each combiner box to the fault point; and positioning a target combiner box corresponding to the fault point based on the total
inductance from each combiner box to the fault point. According to the method, analysis is carried out based on self
inductance and transient signals, dynamic variation at the moment of fault is processed, influence of fault point transition resistance is avoided, serious interference of the fault point transition resistance on a measurement result is fundamentally avoided, the anti-interference performance is higher, and a fault positioning result is more accurate and reliable; in addition, special expensive equipment is not needed, the cost is low, and integration is easier.
