Abstract

A handbook, designed to serve as a reference document to guide utility operations personnel in the selection and use of fault location equipment on underground power cables, is described. The principal emphasis is directed toward distribution cables but transmission cables are also considered in pertinent instances. The contents are organized into three chapters and an appendix: Ch. 1 provides a set of pertinent definitions for terms that are used throughout the text. Ch. II is intended for general reference. It identifies and describes seven generic types of fault location equipment. Ch. III presents an approach for the selection of a specific fault locator. Two selection procedures are presented. The first procedure treats the initial equipment purchase. The second procedure treats the selection of the equipment best suited to a particular fault. App. A presents a summary of the available fault location equipment including available specifications.
