Abstract
The insulation failure of the outdoor terminal of the high-voltage cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) cable has a significant impact on the operation stability of the power grid. Effective evaluation of its thermal state is of great significance to predicting its insulation failure. The paper uses infrared thermal imaging to analyse the thermal field distribution characteristics of the outdoor terminal surface under different ambient temperatures. Test results, theoretical calculations and simulation results all show that the thermal steady-state temperature of the inner and outer layers of the sheath shows a non-linear increase with the increase of the current carrying capacity of the cable, which verifies the correctness of the model, so this model can be used to predict And analyse the temperature distribution of the actual 10kV cable cold shrink terminal at the thermal steady state.
