Answer / 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

Answer / rax
transverse nature of waves is utilised to find the location of fault.when a high dc voltage is superimposed on a signal it becomes a wave. now this wave is given a velocity of 67.5meters/microseconds for 11kv cable and 80 meters/microseconds for 33 kv cables. at the open end the voltage is doubled and the wave is reflected .the time taken by this wave to reach the source is noted and the distance is calculated.

1. A 380 / 220 V r.m.s. 3-phase 4-wire circuit carries loads of 8 + j8.1 ohm; 4 + j4.1 ohm; and 2 +j2.1 ohmin the three phases respectively. The length of the circuit is 100 m, and the resistivity of the phase conductors is 0.0005 Ω/m. The neutral conductor is of the same size as the phase conductors. a) Select a reference angle 0for the first phase. Then write down the three phase voltages in both polar format and complex number format. b) Make appropriate assumptions, and take temperature effects on resistance is insignificant. Calculate the currents in the three phases. (Note: Determine conductor resistance, and apply Kirchhoff’s Voltage Law) Based on the result, suggest a main switch rating for the circuit. c) Show your preferred direction of neutral current in a diagram, and then determine its value. (Note: Apply superposition principle, and Kirchhoff’s Current Law) Use its magnitude to show that in this circuit, the unbalanced load may increase the voltage drop in some of the phases. (Note: Also observe the common volt drip in neutral) State your assumptions, if there are any. d) Suddenly the neutral wire of the circuit is broken. Estimate the new currents in the first phase, i.e. Phase L1. State your assumptions, if there are any.
