Prelocation of Cable Faults using Secondary Impulse Method

Introduction In our earlier blogs, we discussed the prelocation using the Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR) method, for faults like low resistance, short circuit, ingress of moisture, and open circuit faults. Insulation failure / High Resistance faults cannot be determined using a low voltage source of a TDR or Prelocator instrument. In Mid Voltage (MV) to …

FLISR Technology for Minimising Power Outages and Improving Network Reliability

Distribution Utilities are obligated to reliably provide round-the-clock electricity to their consumers. With increasingly complex electricity networks, a result of rising energy demand and bi-directional flow of electricity due to increasing use of low carbon energy resources (wind, solar, etc.), Utilities must enhance system reliability for consistent 24x7 power to end customers. While faults and …

Success Story : Protection Scheme Audit of 220kV GIS

One of the primary themes of our blogs has been on emphasizing the need for regular testing and maintenance of electrical assets. Some of these discussions are hyperlinked here for quick reference: a) testing and maintenance of electrical equipment at a steel manufacturing plant, b) earthing and lightning protection system audit and c) health assessment …
