The invention relates to a
weak current cable fault positioning method and
system, and the method comprises the steps: preliminarily locking a fault region through monitoring the axial
stress change in real time, injecting a low-frequency pulse
signal in a target section, analyzing the reflection waveform characteristics, and extracting the
waveform distortion characteristics in a reflection
signal; dynamically adjusting the
output impedance based on the amplitude attenuation and time
delay relationship, and if the dynamically adjusted
output impedance cannot enable the
output impedance of the injected low-frequency pulse
signal to be synchronous with the impedance change trend of the cable, marking as an impedance mismatch point; after an impedance mismatch point is identified, other interferences are eliminated through multi-band signal attenuation
difference analysis, and the position of a fault point is determined; the
system is used for implementing the method. According to the method and
system,
stress monitoring and
electric signal detection are combined, the detection range is remarkably shortened, the positioning precision and the detection accuracy are improved, and the method and system are suitable for
weak current cable fault diagnosis in a complex environment.
