Techniques and equipment for detecting and locating incipient faults in underground power transmission cable systems. First technical progress report, 21 August 1978-31 March 1979

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5952946
This work is to provide practical methods for detecting and locating incipient faults in energized and deenergized underground power transmission cable systems. Radio-frequency probing techniques are emphasized. Supporting tasks include measurements of cable characteristics at manufacturing plants and utility installations, field evaluation, development of signal couplers to access transmission lines, and a study of methods leading to technically effective and economical use of incipient-fault locators.
