The invention discloses a cable impedance
spectroscopy defect positioning method and
system, and belongs to the technical field of cable defect localization, and the method comprises the steps: measuring a to-be-detected cable through an
impedance analyzer, obtaining a head end
input impedance spectrum of the to-be-detected cable, comparing the head end
input impedance spectrum with a head end
input impedance spectrum of a healthy cable, and judging whether the to-be-detected cable has a defect or not; if defects exist, a plurality of pieces of temperature data in the circumferential direction of the intermediate joint are collected, whether the to-be-detected cable is aged or not is judged through the
temperature difference between the
peak value temperature data and the valley value temperature data, if not, the obtained head end input
impedance spectrum of the to-be-detected cable is utilized, the
frequency domain reflection method is directly used for conducting defect positioning on the cable, and if aging occurs, the
frequency domain reflection method is used for determining the defect of the to-be-detected cable. And if not, compensating the obtained head end input
impedance spectrum of the cable to be detected according to the aging degree, and carrying out defect positioning on the cable by using a
frequency domain reflection method based on the compensated head end input
impedance spectrum. According to the invention, interference of non-uniform aging on defect positioning can be weakened, and accurate positioning of cable defects is realized.
