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 …

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 …

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 …
