Abstract

To address the limitations of low detection efficiency and poor spatial resolution of traditional cable insulation diagnosis methods, a novel cable insulation diagnosis method based on impedance spectroscopy has been proposed. An impedance spectroscopy analysis model of the frequency response of high-voltage single-core cables under different aging conditions has been established. The initial classification of insulation condition is achieved based on the impedance phase deviation between the test cable and the reference cable. Under localized aging conditions, the impedance phase spectroscopy is more than twice as sensitive to dielectric changes as the amplitude spectroscopy. Leveraging this advantage, a multi-parameter diagnostic framework is developed that integrates key spectral features such as the first phase angle zero-crossing frequency, initial phase, and resonance peak amplitude. The proposed method enables quantitative estimation of aging severity, spatial extent, and location. This technique offers a non-invasive, high-resolution solution for advanced cable health diagnostics and provides a foundation for practical deployment of power system asset management.
