The invention provides an underground high-
voltage cable fault accurate positioning method which comprises the following steps: when an underground high-
voltage cable has a fault, measuring a three-phase
sheath current signal from a sheath grounding terminal in real time and linearly superposing the three-phase
sheath current signal into a
composite signal; determining the
arrival time of the coaxial wave as a base point, and carrying out time window sliding
cutting on the synthesized
signal to obtain a plurality of pieces of
time sequence data which contain the
arrival time of the coaxial wave and are fixed in length; after normalized
wavelet decomposition is carried out on the multiple pieces of
time sequence data, the multiple pieces of
time sequence data are imported into a trained coaxial wave arrival recognition model, and multiple pieces of
wavefront recognition time are obtained; and screening out two
wavefront identification times meeting a predetermined condition from the plurality of
wavefront identification times, and positioning the position from the fault point to the sheath grounding terminal in combination with the total length of the underground high-
voltage cable and a predetermined coaxial
wave propagation speed. According to the invention, the fault of the underground high-voltage cable can be quickly and accurately positioned on line based on the cable
monitoring data with transient characteristics, so that the positioning accuracy is improved.
