Abstract:
One of the most strenuous task is to locate the
position of fault in power cables. There are many techniques which
are available to locate faults, but each one have its own advantages
and disadvantages. Contrary to the conventional reflectometry
based methods, this paper explores a technique based on Sweep
frequency response analysis (SFRA) in which reflection of the
wave are not required. Sweep frequency response analysis (SFRA)
are mostly used in transformer for checking the healthiness of its
winding and to locate different faults and defects in it. In this
paper using the same concept of SFRA in transformer, detection
and location of fault in a cable has been investigated using PSpice
simulation.
