Continuity Test - With the cable conductor shorted or looped at the remote end perform continuity test on the cable

- Measure and record the results in ohm

- Three measurements are to be carried out between R-Y Y-B B-R

- The test will determine whether any of cable is open circuited - The resistance per-conductor per km is provided in Table VI VII VIII and IX (refer appendix A)

714 FAULT LOCATION PROCEDURE (cont-)

if the continuity of the cable is sound insulation resistance from one end are sufficient

If continuity is broken IR test should be carried out at both ends of the cable

7141 BURNING A FAULT

-The continuity and IR test may indicate that burning of fault by means of HT pressure test set is required

-

7141 BURNING A FAULT (continue-)

-Burning a fault is achieve by passing current from a DC HT test set through the fault

-Other conductors not under test should be earthed

-HT is applied for about 5 to 10 minutes to burn the fault

- HT test is used to determine which fault location equipment is suitable to be used

-HT is the last resort often used because it sometimes produce ambiguous and unpredictable results

-Therefore fault location equipment should be attempted first

-

7141 BURNING A FAULT (continue-)

-Burning a fault is achieve by passing current from a DC HT test set through the fault

-Other conductors not under test should be earthed

-HT is applied for about 5 to 10 minutes to burn the fault

- HT test is used to determine which fault location equipment is suitable to be used

-HT is the last resort often used because it sometimes produce ambiguous and unpredictable results

-Therefore fault location equipment should be attempted first

-

7141 BURNING A FAULT (continue-)

-Burning a fault is achieve by passing current from a DC HT test set through the fault

-Other conductors not under test should be earthed

-HT is applied for about 5 to 10 minutes to burn the fault

- HT test is used to determine which fault location equipment is suitable to be used

-HT is the last resort often used because it sometimes produce ambiguous and unpredictable results

-Therefore fault location equipment should be attempted first

7120 (CABLE FAULT) INTRODUCTION

1048707 Cable faults are undesirable causes because-

1 Power supply is interrupted

2 Locating fault in a long underground cable is difficult and time consuming

3 Repairing faulty cable is difficult and time consuming aging is a natural process

1048707 Cable insulation gets deterioration with time1048707 Preventive Maintenance periodic monitoring is necessary to prevent failure

7121 CAUSES OF CABLE FAULT (CONTINUE)

71221 MECHANICAL

7122 CAUSES OF UNDERGROUND CABLE FAILURE

Major factors that cause failure of a cable are-

bull Damaged accidentally by external mechanical means

bull Damage caused as a results of mishandling the cable

during layout

bull Poor workmanship in cable jointing

bull Natural causes due to aging

of cable

bull Damaged caused by movement

of soil and erosion

71222 MISHANDLING

Mishandling of cable may be occurred during installation

Some of the examples are

1 Excessive pull

2 Sharp bend

3 Accident crush

71223 Poor workmanship During Cable Jointing

Continuity Test - With the cable conductor shorted or looped at the remote end perform continuity test on the cable

- Measure and record the results in ohm

- Three measurements are to be carried out between R-Y Y-B B-R

- The test will determine whether any of cable is open circuited - The resistance per-conductor per km is provided in Table VI VII VIII and IX (refer appendix A)

714 FAULT LOCATION PROCEDURE (cont-)

if the continuity of the cable is sound insulation resistance from one end are sufficient

If continuity is broken IR test should be carried out at both ends of the cable

7141 BURNING A FAULT

-The continuity and IR test may indicate that burning of fault by means of HT pressure test set is required

-

7141 BURNING A FAULT (continue-)

-Burning a fault is achieve by passing current from a DC HT test set through the fault

-Other conductors not under test should be earthed

-HT is applied for about 5 to 10 minutes to burn the fault

- HT test is used to determine which fault location equipment is suitable to be used

-HT is the last resort often used because it sometimes produce ambiguous and unpredictable results

-Therefore fault location equipment should be attempted first

Continuity Test - With the cable conductor shorted or looped at the remote end perform continuity test on the cable

- Measure and record the results in ohm

- Three measurements are to be carried out between R-Y Y-B B-R

- The test will determine whether any of cable is open circuited - The resistance per-conductor per km is provided in Table VI VII VIII and IX (refer appendix A)

714 FAULT LOCATION PROCEDURE (cont-)

if the continuity of the cable is sound insulation resistance from one end are sufficient

If continuity is broken IR test should be carried out at both ends of the cable

7141 BURNING A FAULT

-The continuity and IR test may indicate that burning of fault by means of HT pressure test set is required

-

7141 BURNING A FAULT (continue-)

-Burning a fault is achieve by passing current from a DC HT test set through the fault

-Other conductors not under test should be earthed

-HT is applied for about 5 to 10 minutes to burn the fault

- HT test is used to determine which fault location equipment is suitable to be used

-HT is the last resort often used because it sometimes produce ambiguous and unpredictable results

-Therefore fault location equipment should be attempted first

- Failure of continuity (conductor (s) or cable)

bull Shunt (short circuit) fault

- failure of insulation

713 TYPES OF FAULT (CONTINUE)-

713 TYPES OF FAULT (CONTINUE)-

7131 SERIES AND SHUNT FAULT

Are subsided into the following categories

Low Resistance Fault of ZR 10

Where Zo= cable surge impedance

=10 ndash 100 ohm

Usually happens in series fault

High Resistance Fault

Where ZoR f 10

7132 INTERMITTENT OR FLASH FAULT

-Usually not apparent to insulation resistance measuring

instrument

-Does not manifest itself at lower voltages or a surge

-Breakdown will appear under application of high voltage

dc or DC pressure test

714 FAULT LOCATION PROCEDURE

The proper sequence of cable fault location are as follows

a) Analysis of fault

b) Pre-location

c) Pin Pointing

d) Confirmation and re-test

Continuity Test - With the cable conductor shorted or looped at the remote end perform continuity test on the cable

- Measure and record the results in ohm

- Three measurements are to be carried out between R-Y Y-B B-R

- The test will determine whether any of cable is open circuited - The resistance per-conductor per km is provided in Table VI VII VIII and IX (refer appendix A)

714 FAULT LOCATION PROCEDURE (cont-)

if the continuity of the cable is sound insulation resistance from one end are sufficient

If continuity is broken IR test should be carried out at both ends of the cable

7141 BURNING A FAULT

-The continuity and IR test may indicate that burning of fault by means of HT pressure test set is required

-

7141 BURNING A FAULT (continue-)

-Burning a fault is achieve by passing current from a DC HT test set through the fault

-Other conductors not under test should be earthed

-HT is applied for about 5 to 10 minutes to burn the fault

- HT test is used to determine which fault location equipment is suitable to be used

-HT is the last resort often used because it sometimes produce ambiguous and unpredictable results

-Therefore fault location equipment should be attempted first

Continuity Test - With the cable conductor shorted or looped at the remote end perform continuity test on the cable

- Measure and record the results in ohm

- Three measurements are to be carried out between R-Y Y-B B-R

- The test will determine whether any of cable is open circuited - The resistance per-conductor per km is provided in Table VI VII VIII and IX (refer appendix A)

714 FAULT LOCATION PROCEDURE (cont-)

if the continuity of the cable is sound insulation resistance from one end are sufficient

If continuity is broken IR test should be carried out at both ends of the cable

7141 BURNING A FAULT

-The continuity and IR test may indicate that burning of fault by means of HT pressure test set is required

-

7141 BURNING A FAULT (continue-)

-Burning a fault is achieve by passing current from a DC HT test set through the fault

-Other conductors not under test should be earthed

-HT is applied for about 5 to 10 minutes to burn the fault

- HT test is used to determine which fault location equipment is suitable to be used

-HT is the last resort often used because it sometimes produce ambiguous and unpredictable results

-Therefore fault location equipment should be attempted first
