ABSTRACT A resistive fault in an electrical cable is located by applying a DC voltage to one end of the faulted cable conductor. The steady state DC voltage and current are measured at the end of the conductor where the voltage is applied. Simultaneously, the DC voltage is measured at the other end of the cable. The voltage is then reversed in polarity and the measurements repeated. Several repetitions of this procedure at each end of the conductor yields sufficient information to compute the location of the fault with reasonable accuracy. The procedure is carried out using two computer-based units, one at each end of the cable, with the two units communicating over the conductor under test.
