Describe methods of underground high voltage cable fault location?
The most common methods concerning cable fault location revolve around the use of Time Domain Reflectometers (see related link) which in summary work by sending a signal down the cable line and then examining the 'reflection' of that signal. A mathematical algorithm then is used to compare the original signal to the reflected signal to determine the location of the fault. For those looking for a highly technical, academic paper on the subject, you can also view the related link.
How do you find out under ground cable fault?
fault location can be provided by microprocessor based relays or targets (multiple INST overcurrents are sometimes used to determine rough location).
How do you locate underground cable fault?
Time Domain Reflectometers can be used to locate where an underground cable fault lies. Time Domain Reflectometry (See wikipedia) is a measurement technique to identify the location using reflected signals sent down the cable line.
What will happen when a single cable is at fault in any topology?
Mesh topology- a cable at fault not affect others. Ring topology- a cable at fault, only affect side by side, If main cable at fault ,whole system shut down. Star topology- a cable at fault, others are not affected. If Hub at fault, whole system shut down. Bus topology- main cable at fault, system will shut down. a cable at fault,will not affect others.
What is Fault location in transmission line?
Fault location in a transmission line refers to identifying the specific location where a fault has occurred, such as a short circuit or a ground fault. This process involves using various methods such as distance protection relays, traveling wave analysis, and fault passage indicators to pinpoint the fault location accurately. It is crucial to quickly isolate the faulted section and restore power to the rest of the transmission system to minimize downtime and maintain system reliability.
What is varley loop test?
A varley loop test is a test used to find the earth fault location in an underground cable. It uses the Wheatstone bridge to help determine the distance from the test point to a fault in a telephone or telegraph line or cable.
What principle does the time domain reflectometer use to test cables?
The basic principle is to send a signal down the cable and then study the reflected signal back. If the cable is sound without any intermittent faults or arc faults then the reflected signal will be exactly the same as the sent signal. If the cable is not sound, the reflected signal will be 'altered'. By studying the exact location of the alteration, a time domain reflectometer can help identify the exact location of the fault. A more technical, academically reviewed paper with diagrams on how the reflected signal is changed can be found at http://livewiretest.com/analysis-of-spread-spectrum-time-domain-reflectometry-for-wire-fault-location
