Abstract

In this paper a diagnostics technique is presented for localization of degraded regions along a cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) insulated power cable. The diagnostics would help to develop a strategy for condition based maintenance of old XLPE power cables. A design of the diagnostics system and results of measurements performed on two power cables are presented. The measurements data is processed in order to localize the degraded insulation regions. The sensitivity of the diagnostics is investigated in terms of signal attenuation along the cable.
