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.

Is the telltale factor for ascertaining where faults in a cable lie?
Impedance.
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
Are the three types of faults normal faults backward faults and slip faults?
No. Your terminology is close but not quite right. The three main types of faults are normal faults, reverse faults, and strike-slip faults. Strike-slip faults may also be called transform faults.
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.
What kind fault lines are there?
There are 6 types of fault lines. Strike-slip faults, dip-slip faults, oblique- slip faults, listric faults, ring faults, and synthetic and antithetic faults.
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
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.
How faults are made?
Faults are created when tectonic plates are stretching or compressing. There are two types of faults which are normal and reverse faults.
Two types of faults can result in mountains which are they?
The two types of faults that can result in mountains are reverse faults and normal faults.
How are earths faults different from your faults?
Your faults are flaws in your personality. Earth's faults are cracks in the ground along which blocks of rock move.
