Background
With the development of social economy and the acceleration of modernized construction pace, the electricity consumption of industrial and agricultural production and people's life is increasing day by day, the demand for electric power is increasing, and the requirement for safe operation of a power grid is also increasing.
As power cables for connecting various electric devices, transmitting and distributing electric power, the positions of overhead wires have been gradually replaced. The transmission performance of cable power supply is more stable than that of an overhead line in cities and countryside, the reliability is high, the occupied area is small, the influence on the city appearance cannot be caused, and the restriction of natural environment is avoided, so that the safety of power supply is improved. The power transmission and distribution mode of largely adopting underground power cable lines to replace overhead power transmission lines has become a main trend of future development of domestic and foreign power transmission and distribution networks.
Power cables play a critical role in power systems as a carrier for transmitting and distributing electrical energy and for connecting various electrical devices, etc., and therefore, maintaining safe operation of the cables is a vital task.
Theoretically, the power cable is less influenced by external environmental factors and human factors, and the reliability of safe operation is high. However, long-term accumulated power cable operation experience and experimental research results prove that the power cable line is easy to have cable operation faults within the period of 1-5 years after the power cable line is put into operation.
The main reasons of the operation failure of the power cable are external force damage, the manufacturing quality defect of the cable accessory, the installation quality defect of the cable or the manufacturing quality defect of the cable body and the like.
The cable has a complex fault condition, and in order to shorten the time for searching and repairing the fault and not influence the normal power supply, a quick and effective measuring and searching method is required to be adopted to quickly and accurately find out the fault point and carry out emergency repair.
The power cable fault test is generally divided into two steps: firstly, "rough measurement" and secondly "fixed point". Firstly, selecting a correct test method according to a fault phenomenon, and measuring an approximate range of a fault point, namely 'rough measurement'; the device is then used to determine the specific location of the failure point, i.e., the "fix point".
The Chinese patent application with publication number CN1101984A, published as 26.4.1995, discloses a high-voltage discharge method for detecting the disconnection point of a cable, which is characterized in that the output end of a high-voltage small current generator is connected to one side of a disconnection pair, and the other side of the disconnection pair is short-circuited. The high voltage generates discharge at the disconnection point, and the discharge generates sound. The probe 3 is moved along the sheath of the cable by a radio with a probe, and when the radio is moved to a place with a discharging sound, the position is a broken line point.
However, the method can only be applied to short-distance and short-distance cabling small-range detection and fault finding (namely the fixed-point detection), has low detection speed, is easily interfered by surrounding electromagnetic fields, has higher requirements on detection environment and users, and is not applicable to long-distance cabling, cables laid in a direct-buried mode or occasions with large electromagnetic interference of the surrounding environment.
Chinese patent No. CN1013618B, entitled "system and apparatus for detecting ground fault of electric power equipment", published as 1992, month 4 and 8, discloses a system and apparatus for detecting ground fault of electric power equipment, in which two magneto-optical sensors are separately installed at both ends of a section of a cable, a signal from the magneto-optical sensors is transmitted to a photo-electric conversion circuit connected thereto through an optical fiber cable connected thereto, a discrimination circuit determines whether or not a ground fault has occurred and where the fault is located based on an output signal of the photo-electric conversion circuit, and the determination is made based on a difference in magnetic value or phase or a combination of both between output signals of the photo-electric conversion circuit. Although the detection problem of long-distance laid cables is solved, the whole detection device relates to a magneto-optical sensor and an optical fiber cable with the same length as the detected cable, the implementation cost is high, the optical fiber cable needs to be laid synchronously when the cable is laid, the detection device is not suitable for fault point detection of the laid cable, and a user has certain difficulty in implementation.
