According to the on-line monitoring character of the cross-bonding XLPE cable
this paper presents a new on-line insulation diagnosis technique based on ART2A-E neural network for the cross-bonding XLPE cable.First
a simulation model of cross-bonding XLPE cable is established by analyzing the aging character and the experimental result of accelerated ageing of the XLPE cable insulation.Then through calculating the original and present current amplitudes and current phases of three XLPE cable grounding lines at initials and terminals
12 characteristic quantities are obtained to serve as the input sample of ART2A-E neural network for pattern recognition.The simulation results show that an insulation fault located at any section of the cross-bonding XLPE cable can be identified through ART2A-E neural network
and the present technique exhibits higher accuracy and efficiency than other methods for on-line insulation diagnosis of cross-bonding XLPE cable.
