Abstract

Cables form the backbone of modern power transmission and distribution systems. Even though, short circuit faults are more common with overhead transmission lines than with underground cables, the thermal and dynamic stress associated with short circuit make it a mandatory withstand requirement. High Power Laboratory has been regularly carrying out short circuit tests on LT and HT cables. This paper presents an overview of the tests carried out and their results.
