TDR-Based Cable Fault Pre-Location is a diagnostic technique used to identify the approximate location of faults in underground cables. By sending a time-domain reflectometer (TDR) pulse through the cable, this method measures reflections caused by impedance changes at fault points. The time it takes for the reflections to return helps determine the distance to the fault, enabling efficient maintenance and repair. This technology is crucial for minimizing downtime and optimizing the reliability of electrical networks.
