Online diagnosis methods for high-voltage (HV) cable faults have been extensively studied. Power cable fault monitoring is not accurate, and the degree of data fusion analysis of current methods is insufficient. To address these problems, an online monitoring method based on the locus-analysis for HV cable faults is developed. By simultaneously measuring two circulating currents in a coaxial cable, a two-dimensional locus diagram is drawn. The fault criteria and database are established to detect the fault by analyzing the changes of the locus characteristic parameters. A cross-connected groun...
