The application relates to the technical field of
electrical testing, and discloses a cable connection reliability testing method for a locomotive
braking system, which comprises the following steps: S1,
reference modeling: performing diagnostic grouping on a connection point, collecting an initial electrical
fingerprint of the connection point, and establishing a health
reference database; S2, excitation and monitoring: applying dynamic excitation to a cable to be tested, synchronously collecting a transient resistance
signal in real time, and calculating a resistance fluctuation spectrum; S3, fault diagnosis: performing
correlation analysis on the resistance fluctuation spectrum and dynamic excitation characteristics, combining the
reference database, and diagnosing potential connection defects; and S4, evaluation and reporting: performing quantitative evaluation on the health state of the connection point according to the diagnosis result, and finally generating a comprehensive diagnosis report. The application adopts electrical response monitoring and
health index evaluation technology under dynamic excitation, accurately identifies intermittent defects, and realizes quantitative evaluation and prediction of the cable connection reliability.
