In a test by Murray loop for ground fault on 600 m of cable having a resistance of 1.5 Ω/km, the faulty cable is looped with a sound cable of the same length and area of cross section. If the ratio of the other two arms of the testing network at balance is 3 : 1, find the distance of the fault from the testing end of cables.
Where, d is distance in m Q is value of variable resistor in ohm P is variable resistance in ohm Here Q/P = 1/3 is given, d = Q/(P + Q)*Loop length = 1/4*(2*600) = 300 m
Aerial bundled cables/conductors are overhead power lines using several insulated phase conductors bundled tightly together, usually with a bare neutral conductor. This contrasts with the traditional practice of using uninsulated conductors separated by air gaps. This variation of bundled conductors utilizes the same principles as overhead power lines, except that they are closer together to the point of touching but each conductor is surrounded by an insulating layer
