Prelocation of Cable Faults using Time Domain Reflectometer Method

In a three-part series on underground cable fault location, we discussed various aspects of cable fault location – from types and causes of cable faults, methodology for identifying cable faults and finally, we illustrated the step-wise process for detecting faults in underground cables.  We also introduced the Time Domain Reflectometer (TDR) method for identifying underground …

Introduction to Underground Cable Fault Location

Energy is a critical facet for human development. Studies evaluating the linkage of electricity and GDP growth estimate that 1% increase in per capital energy consumption results in an increase of per-capita GDP by 0.23%. Given this centrality, development of electricity infrastructure has been a key focus area for governments and policy makers. Power transmission …
