In recent years, ablation failure of high-voltage cable buffer layer occurs frequently. In order to solve the problem, this paper established a simulation model for XLPE cables and studied the electric field distribution characteristics of buffer layers under different resistivity. Based on the fault mechanism, a buffer layer repair scheme and a full set of on-site repair process were proposed. Repair tests were conducted on 220 kV high-voltage cross-linked polyethylene fault cables with a length of 1.2 m and 6 m, respectively. The repair effect was evaluated from the perspectives of contact resistance and capacitance current. The results show that with the increase of volume resistivity of the buffer layer, the electric field distortion between the buffer layer and the aluminum sheath is serious, which is easy to cause partial discharge and lead to cable failure. With the decrease of volume resistivity of the buffer layer, the electrical connection between the buffer layer and the aluminum sheath gradually recovers, and the electric field distribution tends to be uniform. After the injection of conductive repair medium, the resistance between the buffer layer and the aluminum sheath decreases by 41.67%, indicating that the electrical connection performance between the buffer layer and the aluminum sheath has been restored.
