With the advancement of urban construction, more and more distribution network lines are changed from overhead lines to cable lines. Currently, the distribution network cable connection generally adopts the European or American cable elbow. If the temperature changes inside the cable elbow can be monitored in time, it will help to find the hidden fault of the cable elbow in time and improve the safe operation level of the power grid. In this paper, the online temperature measurement device of distribution network cable is discussed and researched, and a contact-type inductive wireless temperature measurement sensor suitable for the elbow joint of distribution network cable is designed. The sensor not only can accurately measure temperature, but also has the characteristics of a convenient communication network, safe and reliable information, and strong insulation ability, which is suitable for large-scale promotion and application.

With the improvement of the automation level of the power system, the number of operation and maintenance personnel continues to decrease, but the use of switchgear is quite large. Since the switchgear is a metal armoured device with a closed shell, the hot spots inside the switchgear cannot be detected in time during operation. Effective temperature measurement and the safety of equipment cannot be effectively guaranteed. In order to avoid the aging caused by the excessive current load of the switch cabinet, poor contact of cable joints and contacts, or long-term operation, which will cause heat in the place, forming a vicious circle and eventually leading to insulation breakdown or fire accidents, Establish a wireless temperature measurement system for switch cabinets to monitor the temperature of the parts where the equipment is prone to overheat, and issue an alarm message when the temperature rises abnormally. At present, the manual inspection of switch cabinets in the power supply system cannot effectively and timely detect fire hazards, so the problem of online monitoring of switch cabinet temperature is particularly prominent. Using the Internet of Things sensing technology and communication technology, build an Internet of Things-based electrical connection point temperature online monitoring system, the all-weather real-time monitoring of the connection parts of high-voltage electrical equipment can effectively reduce the equipment failure rate, promote the condition maintenance of power equipment, and ensure the safe and economical operation of the power system.
