The verification of secondary cable core is an important task in the construction and renovation of substations, which is related to the normal operation of various relay protection devices in substations. In view of the many drawbacks of traditional secondary cable core verification methods, such as cumbersome steps, low efficiency, low accuracy, and susceptibility to working environment, this paper proposes a secondary cable core verification device based on the principle of variable frequency resonance. This paper will introduce the overview and current status of secondary cable core verification technology, the design of the secondary cable core verification device based on frequency conversion resonance, and the core verification principle of this device.
