Description
The present invention relates to a technique for estimating a defect location of a cable, and more particularly, to an apparatus and method for estimating a location of a defect on a cable by measuring a partial discharge signal.
In general, the detection of defects in the ultra-high voltage cable is to inspect the inside of the cable insulator for the presence of foreign matter or interface, etc., and it can be performed during manufacturing, quality inspection, testing for defect detection, or during operation after installation on site. have. The inspection process determines whether there is a problem with the cable and if there is a problem with the cable, the intermediate quality inspection is performed in parallel, and according to the result, the work is progressed and the quality of the product is judged. The basic method to check the cable for defects is to find the defects with the naked eye, and to observe the defects found through the microscope to determine the actual size, shape and type of the defects to determine the abnormality. . However, if only visual inspection is performed, subjective deviation due to operator's experience difference is severe, and accurate quality inspection is difficult.
In order to improve this, a position estimation method through electrical pulse measurement has been introduced. In the position estimation method using electrical pulse measurement, as shown in FIG. 1, after the sensors capable of measuring the electrical pulses are installed at the same positions C110 and C120 on both sides of the cable, the sensor in case of partial discharge due to defect C130 is installed. This method estimates the location of a defect by using the difference of arrival times (t 1 , t 2 ) of electrical pulses measured through the signals.
Equation 1 below is to find the distance between the defect and the sensor.
Here, x 1 is the distance between the defect and the sensor installed on one side (C110), x is the distance between the sensors installed on both sides (C110, C120), ν is the transmission speed of the electrical pulse, Δt is the time difference of arrival of the signals (│ t 1 -t 2 |
However, in the conventional position estimation method using electrical pulse measurement, since the transmission speed of the electrical pulse is close to the speed of light, a large error occurs in the distance between the defect and the sensor even with a small error in the time difference of arrival. There was a problem that it is difficult to determine the exact location.
The present invention has been proposed to solve the problems of the prior art as described above, the object of which is to determine the exact position of the defect by minimizing the error to the estimated position of the defect and its apparatus In providing a method.

Meanwhile, the method for estimating a defect location of a cable according to the present invention measures a partial discharge signal in the form of an electrical pulse with respect to the cable through a metal foil sensor, and receives the partial discharge signals in the form of an ultrasonic pulse through ultrasonic sensors installed on the surface of the cable.

According to the present invention, it is possible to provide an apparatus and method for estimating a defect position of a cable so that the exact position of the defect can be known by minimizing an error with respect to the estimated position of the defect.
In addition, according to the present invention, the position of a defect can be known by a simple process of measuring a single discharge signal, and can be applied to various forms such as cylinders, spheres, cubes, etc., rather than the structure of a line having a very long length compared to the width.

According to the above-described embodiment, since only one partial discharge pulse is needed to locate the defect, only one test can determine the exact position of the defect. In addition, since the transmission speed of the ultrasonic signals is considerably slower than in the case of electromagnetic waves, the errors generated in the calculation of the distance between the ultrasonic signals and the defects due to the time difference between the ultrasonic signals are considerably smaller, thereby ensuring high accuracy in estimating the defect position.
