Finding the location of a cable fault doesn't have to be like finding a needle in a haystack. There are many locating methods, coupled with new detection technologies, that make this task much easier and less time consuming. However, you should understand that there is no single method or combination of methods that is "best." Your selection of the appropriate method for the situation and your skill in employing that method are the keys to safely and efficiently locating cable faults without damaging the cable.

Learning Objectives
• Medium-voltage cable design, construction and operation

• Industry standards and procedures for testing

• Causes of cable failures

• Perform insulation resistance, dielectric strength tests in lab and evaluate results

• Locate faults by time domain reflectometer, arc-reflection and "thumper" methods

Who Should Attend
Designed for engineers, electricians, supervisors and cable splicers that are responsible for the testing and maintenance of medium-voltage cable systems.

Requirements
Requires working knowledge of basic electricity. Familiarity with splicing and testing beneficial, but not required. Students must wear safety toe shoes.
