Research Progress of the Temperature Monitoring Technology of the Electric Joints in the Ring Main Unit

Abstract This article summarizes several existing temperature monitoring methods for cable joints inside the ring main unit, mainly introducing infrared temperature measurement, fluorescent optical fiber detection, passive wireless surface acoustic wave temperature measurement, and wireless temperature sensor measurement. Then, the above methods were compared, and the advantages and disadvantages of each method were clarified. Finally, the research on the temperature monitoring method of the cable joints in the ring main unit is summarized. And the follow-up development direction of the passive wireless surface acoustic wave temperature measurement method in the temperature measurement of the cable joints of the ring main unit is prospected. It provides some reference for the research on the temperature monitoring method of the cable joints inside the ring main unit in the future.
