The invention discloses an infrared image automatic fault identifying method for high-voltage equipment. Firstly, electric equipment in need of detection is selected and a temperature image of the electric equipment is obtained; secondly, a heating point, heating a point temperature T1 and a normal phase temperature T2 of the electric equipment are obtained through processing of the temperature image; thirdly, a relative temperature is calculated in combination with an environment reference temperature T0 to judge a running condition and fault information of the electric equipment. In the infrared image automatic fault identifying method for the high-voltage equipment, the running condition and the fault information of the electric equipment on a high-voltage transmission wire are monitored on the basis of an infrared image processing technology, a temperature heating abnormal point is detected according to an infrared temperature image processing technology, a heating temperature, a normal temperature, an environment temperature and the relative temperature of an abnormal point are calculated and then the running condition and the fault information of the electric equipment are automatically judged according to a relative temperature difference judging method; in this case, quick on-line detection of the running condition of the electric equipment is realized.
