Underground Cable Fault Location is a unique and invaluable reference source. A thoroughly practical book, based on the author's wide experience and many years of practice, it covers every aspect of this complex subject and features the most up-to-date techniques and equipment.
After an initial introduction to the basic principles of cable fault location, the book discusses their application to a wide range of cable networks and situations. Telecommunications systems, heating, lighting and optical fibre cables are just some of the specialized areas covered, along with high and low voltage cable networks. A proper methodology for locating faults is defined, from initial diagnosis and pre-location right through to pin-pointing and confirmation. The general skills of route tracing and cable identification are discussed in some detail, as is the important issue of safety.
