Based on the characteristics of power cables, an intelligent online monitoring system is constructed for failure detection and positioning. The implementation idea is illustrated and the main functions of the system are introduced in this paper. When power cable is destroyed or stolen, the system will send warning messages to alert the power management department. The actual applications show that the system has the advantages of convenience, low cost and high reliability.

Thefaults in the underground cables cause to generatetransients which propagate along the power cable as travelling waves. The velocity of the generated travelling wave and the time taken by a wave to reach the source point from the fault location enables us to calculate the fault distance value.In this paper a double endedtravelling wave based approach is used and a communication channel is designed to calculate the fault distance. A circuit-based model is developed in the EMTP-RV software to find out the fault distance from the source end for all types of faults. Further it is proved that the fault distance is unaffected by the change in ground resistance, various types of faults and the fault inception angle in the proposed method


This chapter deals with many special features of underground power cables. Important points are presented in this chapter. In this chapter the various components of the different underground cables used in transmission and distribution of electric energy are explained. The materials used in the manufacture of these cables are given in details. This chapter also contains the different types of cable joints and terminations.
