How Do You Rectify An Open Transmission Cable Buried in the Ground?

Hi ron

This is done by using pod , u need to plug into your ears and move then instrument over the line, if there is any leakage then u get the beeps.

Fixing this can be done "cable joint kit", slightly expensive and ranges according to Sqmm of the Cable .

Thanks

Hi. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. I remember during my interview, the engineering head told me to assume that the transmission line is miles in distance and you dont have a reference or plan which will show where the cable is laid. What do you think is the solution to this scenario-finding where the open cable is. Is it necessary to replace the whole transmission lines?

Your failure to adequately describe the problem at hand, to us, may be an indication of the reason for your failure to get the job.

What else have you not mentioned?

Put some diodes on it?

Go through installation as-built drawings and if they have made any cable joints first check them.

There is a devise called "TELEFLEX", in case of any damage or open area to your cable, you will get an access to the conductor, in which you will sent a signal through the cable conductor using the 'TELEFLEX" and any change in the signal wave will appear on the screen. Also, it will show you the exact location of the fault.

N.b: You have to refer to the "As-built drawings" to get the route of your cable.

To pnaban, Firas and mjb, thank you very much for all your intelligent answers...
