[0002] During the operation of large oil-immersed transformers, the effectiveness of the cooling system is directly related to the transformer's stable operation and lifespan. Forced oil circulation and water cooling systems have become an efficient and widely used cooling method, particularly in hot regions. This system circulates the transformer oil through a water cooler, effectively reducing the transformer's operating temperature and improving its efficiency and safety. However, over time, cooling water pipes may develop leaks for various reasons. Leaks not only reduce cooling effectiveness but can also cause serious consequences such as electrical failures, equipment damage, and even fire. Therefore, leak monitoring of cooling water pipes is particularly important.

These systems typically only detect leaks, sending an alarm signal to the monitoring system when a leak is detected. However, these systems have significant limitations: they can only detect the occurrence of a leak but cannot accurately determine its severity, let alone automatically implement appropriate countermeasures based on the severity of the leak.
