Cable Fault Detection Methods: A Review

Abstract

In the growth of power system grids, underground cables are now commonly used. Because of some subsurface environments, wear and tear, and rodents, underground cables contain a more range of problems. For Detecting the source of a fault is challenging since the entire line must be dug to look for defects in the cable line. Repairmen know which parts have problems, and only that area needs to be dug up to find the source of the problem. It also saves time and money by allowing subterranean cable lines to be maintained more quickly. Electrical cables in rural places go underground rather than over the headlines. When a fault arises in an underground cable, pinpointing the exact site of the defect and repairing it might be difficult.
