Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of cable fault detection and location technology, and in particular to a power transmission cable fault diagnosis system that integrates TDR and passive transient analysis. Background Technology
[0002] With the rapid development of power systems, communication systems, and industrial automation systems, various types of power cables and communication cables are widely used in power transmission networks, rail transit, mining engineering, and large industrial facilities. Cables are usually laid underground, in tunnels, or inside complex structures, and operate under high voltage, high load, and complex environmental conditions for a long time. They are susceptible to aging, moisture, mechanical damage, and construction damage, which can lead to faults such as open circuits, short circuits, and impedance changes.
[0003] Currently, commonly used cable fault detection and location methods mainly include the DC bridge method, pulse reflection method, traveling wave method, and active time domain reflection ranging (TDR) method. Among them, the TDR method injects a high-speed pulse signal into the cable and analyzes the time characteristics of the pulse propagation and reflection in the cable. It can calculate the fault distance based on the time difference between the reflected signal and the incident signal. It has the advantages of being non-destructive, easy to operate, and having high positioning accuracy, and is widely used in the field of cable fault detection.
[0004] However, in practical engineering applications, traditional TDR cable fault detection methods still have certain limitations. When a cable experiences a short circuit fault, the amplitude of the reflected wave is relatively small and is easily superimposed with the oscillations caused by the line distribution parameters, making it difficult to accurately determine the arrival time of the reflected wave.
[0005] To address existing shortcomings, this invention proposes a power transmission cable fault diagnosis system that integrates TDR (Transient Dynamic Reflection) and passive transient analysis. By jointly analyzing the reflection characteristics generated by actively injected pulse signals and the transient signals of cable faults, and introducing signal processing techniques such as time-frequency analysis and energy operators, a comprehensive judgment of cable location and fault type can be achieved, thereby improving the accuracy of fault location.

The system consists of two parts: an active pulse generation and monitoring device, and a cable fault location method based on the device. The active pulse generation and monitoring device comprises an active pulse generation device and a monitoring pulse device. Based on the constructed active pulse generation and monitoring device, pulses of different frequencies can be rapidly emitted through voltage changes, and the reflected pulse wavefronts at fault points can be accurately monitored. Based on the cable fault location method constructed by the device, the instantaneous voltage and current signals of the three phases before and after the fault at the cable port are collected, a fault transient increment is constructed, and the incident traveling wave component and the reflected traveling wave component are obtained. Then, wavelet decomposition and energy operator methods are used... This system enhances wavefront characteristics, suppresses distributed parameter oscillations and background noise, and achieves stable identification of the arrival time of reflected wavefronts. It determines the cable fault type by collecting three-phase instantaneous voltage and current signals and adaptively selects the ranging method based on the fault's equivalent impedance: for low-resistance faults, passive ranging is performed using the obvious wavefront characteristics of the fault's natural transient traveling wave; for high-resistance faults, an active pulse generator is activated to inject pulses into the cable and collect echoes, calculating the fault distance using the echo time difference. This approach accommodates various fault conditions, including high and low resistance, expanding its applicability. Simultaneously, by setting wavefront criteria and time interval constraints, the system reduces the probability of false detections and missed detections, improving ranging accuracy and positioning reliability. Ultimately, it obtains the fault distance, reducing the scope of manual line inspections and power outage time, thereby improving the efficiency of power transmission cable fault handling and maintenance support.
