The invention discloses a
nanosecond square wave transient impedance
tower grounding defect on-line detection method and
system. The method comprises the steps that distributed potential sensors are arranged on the periphery of a
tower grounding body, and multi-channel synchronous acquisition is established; injecting a
rectangular pulse signal into the grounding down lead, and superposing a damping sine component subjected to
frequency response compensation; synchronously acquiring
voltage and current responses, calculating a transient impedance differential ratio, a
total harmonic distortion rate and a
wavelet packet energy entropy, and judging a defect type according to a preset threshold value and a weighted fusion criterion; constructing and solving a ground
potential field model, and positioning a defect position; the
system is composed of a
nanosecond square wave generator, a distributed potential sensor, a
data acquisition and synchronization module, a
signal analysis module and a ground potential
tomography module, and sensor signals are subjected to
differential transmission through a twisted-pair shielding cable to suppress interference. According to the invention, rapid and accurate identification and positioning of the grounding defect of the
tower under the non-power-off condition are realized, the
identification rate is high, and the positioning precision is excellent.
