The invention discloses an AR system for substation inspection, including an AR helmet, on which a processor and a power supply connected to the processor, a camera, a wireless transmission module, a voice input module, a memory and gesture recognition are arranged. module, a display screen is arranged on the lens of the AR helmet, and the display screen is connected to the processor. The present invention solves the problem of low accuracy of substation inspection in the prior art, and provides an AR system for substation inspection. When it is applied, the AR helmet cooperates with the substation inspection, and setting reminders can avoid real-time monitoring and inspection. It is easy to miss the wrong detection during the inspection, and at the same time transmit the inspection results to the inspection data center in real time, so as to achieve real-time on-site, which helps to maintain the stability and accuracy of the data.
