The invention relates to the field of cable fault identification, in particular to a high-
voltage cable fault identification method for on-line monitoring of
sheath current, which comprises the following steps of: firstly, monitoring in real time through a
sheath current sensor, a fault traveling wave collector and a cable temperature sensor at key positions along a line, collecting
cable line parameters, analyzing normal operation data, and determining the fault of a high-
voltage cable according to the normal operation data; establishing a
sheath current and temperature characteristic model, calculating the sheath current in real time and comparing the model, if the sheath current exceeds a threshold value, preliminarily judging a fault, and then calculating a fault area through traveling
waves; temperature change data are obtained in a fault area, and an average temperature highest point area is found through calculation to accurately calibrate a fault position. According to the method, cable operation conditions are comprehensively mastered by multiple means, faults can be found in time, fault areas and positions can be accurately determined, fault types can be accurately judged according to multi-aspect information, the accuracy and timeliness of high-
voltage cable
fault recognition are effectively improved, safe and stable operation of a power
system is powerfully guaranteed, and the working efficiency is improved. The operation and maintenance cost is reduced; and the
cable management level is improved.
