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

What is an explanation of what an OTDR represents?
An Optical Time Domain Reflectometer (OTDR) is a testing and troubleshooting device used to evaluate a fiber optic cable's performance, including optical loss, chromatic dispersion, and attenuation. OTDRs are used to determine the location(s) of events on the cable, including faults, reflectors, and splices. A smart OTDR does at least one of three things: adjusts its test power to match the power at the test point, has an auto-ranging function so the operator does not have to enter the optical power at the test point, or can store the optical power at multiple points on the cable, so the operator can then retrieve and compare those values.

What is domain test?
A domain test is to test if a domain is available. It tells you if the domain is available and if it is how much it costs.

What is principle the Murray Loop Test?
A Murray Loop Test is used to locate faults in networks of cables such as three-phase services, groups of underground cables, etc. It works by using the principle equation on which the Wheatstone bridge is based: when the galvanometer is in a null condition, R1/R3=R2/R4. The location of a cable fault within a network can be found by using a process of elimination: good connections are identified and are then excluded from further iterations of the Murray Loop Test.

How can one test out a domain for their website?
You can test a domain by going to the website or asking other people to view your website. There are also companies that will test the website for you, for a fee.

How do you test the 11KV HT cables?
The test equipment used to test high voltage cables is a hi-pot test where a high DC voltage is a applied to the cable. This voltage can be from 150% to 200% of the working voltage of the cable.See related links below.
