The invention discloses an automatic monitoring
power cable which comprises a wire, a first
coating layer is arranged outside the wire, a second
coating layer is arranged outside the first
coating layer, an insulating layer is arranged outside the second coating layer, and a plurality of warning positioning mechanisms are arranged between the second coating layer and the insulating layer. According to the invention, when
fog water or rainwater in the environment enters a damaged part of an insulating layer, a spherical
sponge absorbs water and expands, so that the spherical
sponge protrudes outwards, a worker can accurately position the insulating layer, and because the spherical
sponge, a filling sponge and a columnar sponge all have water absorbability,
heat transfer is carried out between water and a bottom
ring block, so that the damage of the insulating layer is avoided. Therefore, the temperature of the bottom
ring block at the position is lower than that of other bottom ring blocks at the positions where the insulating
layers are not aged or damaged, the temperature is found in time through detection of the temperature measuring cable, the position is overhauled in time, further damage to the insulating
layers is avoided, the service life of the
power cable is greatly prolonged, and the safety in the using process is greatly improved.
