Fault in Transmission Cables and Current Fault Location Methods

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Online Location of Faults on AC Cables in Underground Transmission Systems

Part of the book series: Springer Theses ((Springer Theses))

Abstract

The problem formulation of this thesis will depend on already existing fault location methods for crossbonded cables. Therefore, a literature study is conducted and the most important references are presented in the following chapter. Firstly, however, the mechanisms leading to faults in high voltage cables are briefly covered in order to examine which fault location methods are applicable.
