Title: A system and method for locating faults on an electricity network
Inventor: Peter Sandell Codd
IPC: G01R31/11
Filed: 2018-06-20
Abstract: A system for locating faults on an electricity network 12 comprising a pulse generator 14, current sensor 22 and a shunt capacitor 18. The pulse generator introduces an investigatory pulse 34 into a candidate electrical cable 24 and upon encountering a fault the investigating pulse causes a reflected pulse 36. The current sensor 22 monitors the current of the reflected pulse 36 to determine a characteristic of the encountered fault. The system may be considered to use Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR). Preferably, the investigatory pulse is a short duration pulse with a sharp rising edge and the current sensor may be a high frequency current measurement sensor. The reflected pulse may be caused by the interaction of the investigatory pulse with a change in impedance indicative of a flaw in the candidate cable. The shunt capacitor 18 is preferably connected to the candidate cable through a switch 26. The shunt capacitor and the pulse generator may be combined into a single coupling circuit. The shunt capacitor may provide near zero impedance to a reflected pulse at the pulse frequencies and to provide a high impedance to the power frequencies.
