Infrared accurate temperature measurement-based composite insulator insulation defect detection method

The invention discloses an infrared accurate temperature measurement-based composite insulator insulation defect detection method. The method comprises the following steps: whether a heating abnormity position exists on a composite insulator or not is determined according to different temperatures represented by different colors in a thermogram, an apparatus is normal if the heating abnormity position does not exist, a difference between the highest temperature of the heating abnormity position and ambient temperature is compared if the heating abnormity position exists, the composite insulation has an insulation defect if the difference is greater than a preset temperature threshold C (C is greater than 1), same kind comparison is carried out if the difference is smaller than the preset temperature threshold C (C is greater than 1), a temperature difference between positions corresponding to a three-phase or same-phase double-string composite insulator in a same tower is compared and analyzed and is a difference between the highest temperature points of corresponding positions in the thermogram of the three-phase or same-phase double-string composite insulator, the apparatus is normal if the temperature difference is smaller than 1K, and on-tower repeated measurement is carried out if the temperature difference is greater than 1K. The method improves the detection efficiency of the composite insulator, and improves the composite insulator insulation defect determination accuracy.
