What is the telltale factor for ascertaining where faults in a cable lie?

Impedance.Depending on the cable type, it may also be possible to use a device called a "reflectometer", which sends a pulse down the wire and calculates the distance based on how long it takes for the signal to bounce back. This type of device works best for coaxial type cable.


What are the faults in the cable?

Cable faults are normally categorised as (a) conductor-to-earth (ground) faults, (b) conductor-to-conductor faults, and (c) conductor-to-conductor-to earth (ground) faults. In addition to that, we can categorise them by whether they are 'high-resistance' or 'low-resistance' faults.


What is TDR?

In the cable tv industry a Tdr is a peice of equipment used to find faults in a variety of sizes of coaxial cable. TDR stands for Time Domain Reflectometer


Velocity factor of a 14 awg cable?

Velocity factor depends to a large extent on the dielectric (insulation) used. You will have to specify the exact cable to answer this question.

Tone generators and tone locators are used to determine characteristics about a cable?

Tone generators produce a signal that can be detected by a tone locator when attached to a cable. This is useful for identifying cables in a bundle, tracing their routes, and determining cable faults or breaks. The tone locator helps pinpoint the location and characteristics of the cable such as continuity, length, and any interference.


Why are high voltage poles are kept above ground?

A couple of reasons I can think of include: High voltage overhead cable is much cheaper than underground cable Easier to reconductor (upgrade current carrying capacity) Easier to find faults

Why cables are earthed?

The cable sheathing is earthed as a protection method in case of single-line-to-ground, double line-to-ground or three phase faults. This prevents damage to plant and personnel.
