Description / Abstract:
During the lifecycle of shielded cable systems, failures may occur. In most situations, the system operator locates the failure in order to effect repairs and return the system to operation. Cable fault locating methods should be chosen to maximize the effectiveness of the fault locating procedure while minimizing any additional damage to the insulation of the cable system.
This guide is intended to be applied to all voltage classes of insulated shielded power cable systems.
Purpose
This guide is intended to provide troubleshooting and testing personnel with guidance to safely and quickly localize a faulted cable section or locate a cable system fault with minimum risk of further damaging serviceable cables, accessories, and equipment.
