A cable fault detection component () receives input data indicative of a fault in an electrical power system. The component () analyzes the input data to determine if the fault is indicative of a temporary or self-clearing cable fault and generates corresponding output data (). In one implementation, the cable fault detection component () is implemented as a software module which operates on a computer () of a substation intelligence system ().

Cable fault detection

A cable fault detection component () receives input data indicative of a fault in an electrical power system. The component () analyzes the input data to determine if the fault is indicative of a self-clearing cable fault and generates corresponding output data (). In one implementation, the cable fault detection component () is implemented as a software module which operates on a computer () of a substation intelligence system ().

A substation intelligence system () includes a substation computer () which is operatively connected to a plurality of field devices () through an input/output subsystem (). Data indicative of the devices is stored in a substation database (). Advanced monitoring and/or diagnostics () use information from the database to perform various monitoring and/or diagnostic functions.
