[0046] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clear, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0047] like Figure 1 As shown in the figure, a cable fault detection method is provided in an embodiment of the present invention, and the method comprises the following steps:

[0048] Step S11, obtaining the incident wave waveform and the reflected wave waveform of the cable to be tested, so as to obtain the delay time, reflection amplitude and polarity of the reflected wave relative to the incident wave, and the energy proportion of the incident wave; wherein the delay time is the difference between the incident wave emission time and the first reception time of the reflected wave; the reflection amplitude is the ratio between the reflected wave amplitude and the incident wave amplitude; the polarity includes a positive polarity for characterizing that the reflected wave and the incident wave have the same phase and a negative polarity for characterizing that the reflected wave and the incident wave have different phases; the energy proportion is the proportion of the tail waveform energy of the incident wave to the overall waveform energy;

[0049] Step S12, the delay time of the reflected wave relative to the incident wave, the reflection amplitude and polarity, and the energy proportion of the incident wave are imported into the trained SVM model to obtain the fault type of the cable to be tested; wherein the fault type includes open circuit fault, short circuit fault, thermal aging fault and moisture fault.

[0050] The specific process is that in step S11, an incident signal is transmitted to the cable to be tested and a reflected signal is received by the TDR instrument, so that the incident wave waveform and its running time, and the reflected wave waveform and its running time recorded by the TDR instrument can be obtained in real time.

[0051] According to the waveform of the incident wave and the waveform of the reflected wave, the emission time of the incident wave and the first reception time of the reflected wave can be extracted, and the difference between the two can be calculated to determine the delay time of the reflected wave relative to the incident wave;

[0052] By formula That is, the reflected wave amplitude A refl With the incident wave amplitude A in The reflection amplitude A is obtained by the ratio between norm ;

[0053] The polarity is determined as positive polarity, which indicates that the reflected wave and the incident wave have the same phase, or negative polarity, which indicates that the reflected wave and the incident wave have different phases. Of course, the reflected wave amplitude A can also be used to determine the reflected wave amplitude. norm Greater than 0 means positive polarity, the reflected wave amplitude is A norm If it is less than 0, it is negative polarity and the polarity is determined;

[0054] By formula γ tail =E tail / E total , calculate the energy proportion of the tail waveform of the incident wave in the overall waveform γ tail ; Among them, E total is the overall waveform energy of the incident wave, and E tail is the waveform energy of the incident wave tail, and t end is the end time of the incident wave; t cutThe moment when the peak value of the main pulse drops to 10% of the peak value. Of course, the overall waveform energy E of the incident wave total and the incident wave tail waveform energy E tail It can also be calculated using a discrete formula, which will not be described here.

[0055] It should be noted that the thermal aging phenomenon is that the insulating material degrades due to high temperature, resulting in local cracks or air gaps, which leads to impedance discontinuity, causing the signal to be reflected multiple times at the defects, and discrete reflected pulses appearing at the tail of the waveform. The energy decays slowly and the tail energy ratio increases.

[0056] The phenomenon of moisture is that moisture increases the dielectric constant of insulation, resulting in an increase in distributed capacitance, and the high-frequency components of the signal are absorbed, causing the reflected signal to exhibit a "tailing" phenomenon of continuous attenuation (similar to the low-pass filtering effect), and the tail energy lasts longer.

[0057] In step S12, first, construct an SVM model with a multi-dimensional feature vector input, and construct a sample data set accordingly. Each sample corresponds to a known fault type (such as open circuit, short circuit, thermal aging, moisture, etc.). Use the labeled training data (features of different types of faults) to train the SVM model. Select a suitable kernel function (such as RBF kernel) and penalty parameter C, optimize the classification boundary of SVM, and thus obtain a trained SVM model; wherein the multi-dimensional feature vector includes delay time, reflection amplitude, polarity, and energy proportion, etc.

[0058] Secondly, the delay time, reflection amplitude and polarity of the reflected wave relative to the incident wave and the energy proportion of the incident wave obtained in step S11 are all imported into the trained SVM model, and the fault type of the cable to be tested can be obtained as one of open circuit fault, short circuit fault, thermal aging fault and moisture fault.

[0059] In an embodiment of the present invention, the method further comprises: calculating the fault point position of the cable to be tested according to the delay time of the reflected wave relative to the incident wave and in combination with a given wave propagation speed; wherein the wave propagation speed is determined by the material type and dielectric constant of the cable to be tested, for example Among them, ε r is the dielectric constant; c is the wave speed in vacuum.

[0060] That is, through the formula Get the fault point location L of the cable to be tested; where v is the given wave propagation speed, t d is the delay time.

[0061] like Figure 2 As shown in the figure, another cable fault detection method is provided in an embodiment of the present invention, and the method comprises the following steps:

[0062] Step S21, obtaining the incident wave waveform and the reflected wave waveform of the cable to be tested, so as to obtain the delay time, reflection amplitude and polarity of the reflected wave relative to the incident wave, and the energy proportion of the incident wave; wherein the delay time is the difference between the incident wave emission time and the first reception time of the reflected wave; the reflection amplitude is the ratio between the reflected wave amplitude and the incident wave amplitude; the polarity includes a positive polarity for characterizing that the reflected wave and the incident wave have the same phase and a negative polarity for characterizing that the reflected wave and the incident wave have different phases; the energy proportion is the proportion of the tail waveform energy of the incident wave to the overall waveform energy;

[0063] Step S22, the delay time, reflection amplitude and polarity of the reflected wave relative to the incident wave, and the energy proportion of the incident wave are introduced into a preset intelligent decision-making classification rule to obtain the fault type of the cable to be tested; wherein the fault type includes open circuit fault, short circuit fault, thermal aging fault and moisture fault.

[0064] The specific process is that in step S21, an incident signal is transmitted to the cable to be tested and a reflected signal is received by the TDR instrument, so that the incident wave waveform and its running time, and the reflected wave waveform and its running time recorded by the TDR instrument can be obtained in real time.

[0065] According to the waveform of the incident wave and the waveform of the reflected wave, the emission time of the incident wave and the first reception time of the reflected wave can be extracted, and the difference between the two can be calculated to determine the delay time of the reflected wave relative to the incident wave;

[0066] By formula That is, the reflected wave amplitude A refl With the incident wave amplitude A in The reflection amplitude A is obtained by the ratio between norm ;

[0067] The polarity is determined as positive polarity, which indicates that the reflected wave and the incident wave have the same phase, or negative polarity, which indicates that the reflected wave and the incident wave have different phases. Of course, the reflected wave amplitude A can also be used to determine the reflected wave amplitude. norm Greater than 0 means positive polarity, the reflected wave amplitude is A norm If it is less than 0, it is negative polarity and the polarity is determined;

[0068] By formula γ tail =E tail / E total , calculate the energy proportion of the tail waveform of the incident wave in the overall waveform γ tail ; Among them, E total is the overall waveform energy of the incident wave, and E tail is the incident wave tail waveform energy, and t end is the end time of the incident wave; tcut The moment when the peak value of the main pulse drops to 10% of the peak value. Of course, the overall waveform energy E of the incident wave total and the incident wave tail waveform energy E tail It can also be calculated using a discrete formula, which will not be described here.

[0069] It should be noted that the thermal aging phenomenon is that the insulating material degrades due to high temperature, resulting in local cracks or air gaps, which leads to impedance discontinuity, causing the signal to be reflected multiple times at the defects, and discrete reflected pulses appearing at the tail of the waveform. The energy decays slowly and the tail energy ratio increases.

[0070] The phenomenon of moisture is that moisture increases the dielectric constant of insulation, resulting in an increase in distributed capacitance, and the high-frequency components of the signal are absorbed, causing the reflected signal to exhibit a "tailing" phenomenon of continuous attenuation (similar to the low-pass filtering effect), and the tail energy lasts longer.

[0071] In step S22, first, multiple comparison thresholds, percentages and delays are set for subsequent formulation of intelligent decision-making classification rules, such as the first threshold 0.8> the second threshold 0.6> the fourth threshold 0.5> the third threshold 0.3> the fifth threshold 0.2> the sixth threshold -0.8; the second percentage 15%> the third percentage 5%> the first percentage 0%; the second delay 200s> the third delay 10s> the first delay 0.1s;

[0072] Secondly, in the intelligent decision-making classification rule, if the reflection amplitude A norm Greater than the first threshold 0.8, delay time t d Less than the first delay 0.1s, positive polarity, and energy proportion γ tail When it is less than the first percentage 0% (i.e., no tailing or multiple reflections), the fault type of the cable to be tested is an open circuit fault;

[0073] In the intelligent decision-making classification rule, if the reflection amplitude A norm Less than the second threshold 0.6 and greater than the third threshold 0.3, delay time t d Greater than the second delay 200s, and energy proportion γ tail When it is greater than the second percentage of 15%, the fault type of the tested cable is obtained as a moisture fault;

[0074] In the intelligent decision-making classification rule, if the reflection amplitude A norm Less than the fourth threshold 0.5 and greater than the fifth threshold 0.2, delay time t d Less than the second delay 200s and greater than the third delay 10s, and energy proportion γ tail When it is less than the second percentage of 15% and greater than the third percentage of 5%, the fault type of the tested cable is obtained as a thermal aging fault;

[0075] In the intelligent decision-making classification rule, if the reflection amplitude A norm Less than the sixth threshold -0.8, delay time t d Less than the first delay 0.1s, negative polarity, and energy proportion γ tail When it is less than the first percentage 0% (i.e., no tailing or multiple reflections), the fault type of the tested cable is obtained as a short circuit fault;

[0076] In one example, as shown in Table 1 below, intelligent decision classification rules for open circuit faults, short circuit faults, thermal aging faults, and moisture faults are shown.

[0077] Table 1

[0078]

[0079] In an embodiment of the present invention, the method further comprises: calculating the fault point position of the cable to be tested according to the delay time of the reflected wave relative to the incident wave and in combination with a given wave propagation speed; wherein the wave propagation speed is determined by the material type and dielectric constant of the cable to be tested, for example Among them, ε r is the dielectric constant; c is the wave speed in vacuum.

[0080] That is, through the formula Get the fault point location L of the cable to be tested; where v is the given wave propagation speed, t d is the delay time.

[0081] like Figure 3 As shown in the figure, another cable fault detection method is provided in an embodiment of the present invention, and the method comprises the following steps:

[0082] Step S31, obtaining the incident wave waveform and the reflected wave waveform of the cable to be tested, as well as the current signal and the voltage signal of the cable to be tested;

[0083] Step S32: Perform decision tree analysis based on the incident wave waveform, reflected wave waveform, current signal and voltage signal of the cable to be tested to obtain the fault type of the cable to be tested; wherein the fault type includes open circuit fault, short circuit fault and ground fault.

[0084] The specific process is as follows: in step S31, the TDR instrument transmits an incident signal to the cable to be tested and receives a reflected signal, so that the incident wave waveform and its running time, the reflected wave waveform and its running time recorded by the TDR instrument can be obtained in real time. In addition, the current signal and voltage signal of the cable to be tested are obtained respectively through the current and voltage sensors.

[0085] It is understandable that, based on the incident wave waveform and the reflected wave waveform, the incident wave emission time and the reflected wave first reception time can be extracted, and the difference between the two can be calculated to determine the delay time of the reflected wave relative to the incident wave.

[0086] In step S32, first, by formula That is, the reflected wave amplitude A refl With the incident wave amplitude A in The reflection amplitude A is obtained by the ratio between norm ; and, detecting whether a mutation occurs by observing the voltage change of the voltage signal.

[0088] Detecting the amplitude of the current signal of the cable to be tested;

[0089] When the amplitude of the current signal is detected to be greater than the preset current threshold (such as 10A), if the reflection amplitude A formed between the reflected wave and the incident wave is detected norm If the reflection amplitude A is greater than the first threshold value (such as 1), the fault type of the cable under test is an open circuit fault; or norm is less than a first threshold value (such as 1), then the fault type of the cable to be tested is a short circuit fault;

[0090] When it is detected that the amplitude of the current signal is less than or equal to the current threshold (such as 10A), if it is detected that the voltage signal of the cable to be tested has a sudden change and the mutation amplitude is greater than a preset second threshold (such as 5V), then the fault type of the cable to be tested is a ground fault; or, if it is detected that the voltage signal of the cable to be tested has a sudden change and the mutation amplitude is less than the second threshold (such as 5V), then the fault of the cable to be tested does not exist.

[0091] In an embodiment of the present invention, the method further comprises: obtaining a delay time of the reflected wave relative to the incident wave based on the incident wave waveform and the reflected wave waveform, and calculating the fault point position of the cable to be tested according to the delay time of the reflected wave relative to the incident wave and in combination with a given wave propagation speed; wherein the wave propagation speed is determined by the material type and dielectric constant of the cable to be tested, for example Among them, ε r is the dielectric constant; c is the wave speed in vacuum.

[0092] That is, through the formula Get the fault point location L of the cable to be tested; where v is the given wave propagation speed, t dis the delay time, which is the difference between the time when the incident wave is emitted and the time when the reflected wave is first received.

[0093] like Figure 5 As shown in the figure, a cable fault detection system is provided in an embodiment of the present invention, comprising:

[0094] The cable parameter calculation unit 110 is used to obtain the incident wave waveform and the reflected wave waveform of the cable to be tested, so as to obtain the delay time, reflection amplitude and polarity of the reflected wave relative to the incident wave, and the energy proportion of the incident wave; wherein the delay time is the difference between the incident wave emission time and the first reception time of the reflected wave; the reflection amplitude is the ratio between the reflected wave amplitude and the incident wave amplitude; the polarity includes a positive polarity for characterizing that the reflected wave and the incident wave have the same phase and a negative polarity for characterizing that the reflected wave and the incident wave have different phases; the energy proportion is the proportion of the tail waveform energy of the incident wave to the overall waveform energy;
