Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 8:
9. A measuring assembly for fault detection on an electrical line, the measuring assembly comprising:
a signal generator apparatus disposed at a first location on the line and configured to feed a measurement signal into the line;
a receiver disposed at the first location and configured to receive a reflected measurement signal reflected from a reflection location on the line; and
an evaluator configured to determine a fault location on the line based on a time duration until reception of the reflected measurement signal while taking a line attenuation into consideration, said evaluator configured to determine the line attenuation based on a level of the reflected measurement signal received at the first location, and said evaluator configured to compensate the line attenuation by normalizing the level of the measurement signal reflected from the reflection location to zero decibels, and raising the level of the reflected measurement signal linearly along a length of the line.
