Description

Technical Field

[0002] On-vehicle cable terminals are important components of the high-voltage system of high-speed trains. They are located at the head and end of on-vehicle high-voltage cables and are responsible for transmitting electrical energy from the power grid to the on-vehicle traction transformer. They are important "bridges" connecting on-vehicle high-voltage cables and electrical equipment. Their good service performance is a necessary condition for ensuring the safe and stable operation of high-speed trains.

[0003] However, the internal insulation structure of on-vehicle cable terminals is complex, adopting a multi-layer coating structure, with relatively serious internal electric field distortion. It is easily interfered by external factors such as construction technology, vehicle body vibration, and sudden changes in environmental temperature, resulting in insulation faults. It is a relatively weak link in the train high-voltage system. In recent years, with the development of society and the national economy, the running speed and traction power of trains have increased significantly, and the impact voltage on on-vehicle cable terminals has intensified, leading to the expansion and heating of internal insulation defects, thereby triggering cable terminal explosions and causing train accidents. Therefore, timely and accurately detecting the internal fault heat sources of on-vehicle cable terminals is the key to effectively preventing cable terminal faults and is of great significance for ensuring the safe and reliable operation of high-speed trains.
