Abstract
WSN (Wireless Sensor Network) was first used for military reconnaissance and has gradually been applied in the civilian field in recent years. A network composed of randomly distributed small nodes is self-organized, and with the help of various built-in sensors, various physical parameters such as temperature, humidity, pressure, and gas composition can be measured in the surrounding environment, achieving monitoring of the environment. Therefore, this article applies WSN to the location of electrical fault points, which can better meet the needs of distribution network security work in extremely harsh environments. Electrical equipment parameters are collected through wireless sensor devices, and the collected electrical equipment parameters are integrated and fused with information. The method of multi-source parameter identification and tracking is adopted, Realize the analysis of fault parameter characteristics of electrical equipment. In practical work, electrical faults are often difficult to completely avoid complex environments. In such cases, the application of wireless sensing and its network can often provide accurate information support for electrical fault troubleshooting work.
