In recent years, operational failures in high voltage cables due to the ablation of cable buffer layers have significantly compromised power system safety. The ablation process generates characteristic gases from the buffer layer materials, which can serve as an early warning and diagnostic tool for ablation defects through gas detection methods. This study investigated the collection and analysis of gases emitted from buffer layers in decommissioned cables and those undergoing maintenance during power outages. The results show that the gas products during the buffer layer ablation process include CO2, H2, CO, and low molecular weight hydrocarbon gases. The characteristic gas detection method shows promise for identifying latent defects in areas with low electric field strength, such as those found in high-voltage cable buffer layers.

摘要

In recent years, operational failures in high voltage cables due to the ablation of cable buffer layers have significantly compromised power system safety. The ablation process generates characteristic gases from the buffer layer materials, which can serve as an early warning and diagnostic tool for ablation defects through gas detection methods. This study investigated the collection and analysis of gases emitted from buffer layers in decommissioned cables and those undergoing maintenance during power outages. The results show that the gas products during the buffer layer ablation process include CO2, H2, CO, and low molecular weight hydrocarbon gases. The characteristic gas detection method shows promise for identifying latent defects in areas with low electric field strength, such as those found in high-voltage cable buffer layers.
