How to find earthfault location in long cable layed
underground or outside.

Answer Posted / santoshvarma

You can find the faulted location with the help of multimeter.

Measure the capacitance at both the ends,between faulted
phase with respect to earth.
For one end if it is C1 and for other end it is C2. And
total length of cable is L and Capacitance is C.

Then by using the below formula, you can find the faulted
location

LC=L1c1+L2c2

Is This Answer Correct ?    2 Yes 1 No
