| 摘要 |
The present disclosure is directed to cable diagnostic test methods, systems and apparatus that advantageously utilize “standing wave”principles to facilitate the identification and location of defect(s) along a power cable. The disclosed methods/systems are effective in measuring dissipation factors and dielectric constants associated with shielded power cable insulation at any number of points or sections along the axial length of the cable. In essence, the disclosed methods/systems perform what may be termed axial tomography, allowing the dielectric loss or dissipation factor and the dielectric constant of the insulation as well as the resistance and inductance of the cable conductor system to be determined at one or more pre-determined points/sections of the cable along its axis.
