N2 - The fault location method that the authors are developing possesses a very high spatial resolution. If the characteristic impedance of a cable is changed, for whatever reason, the location method can find its position. In other words, this method can detect the changes in characteristic impedance. Since the characteristic impedance is a function of the permittivity of the cable insulation, this method can detect the change in permittivity of the insulation non-destructively without disassembling the cable. This paper demonstrates the above, taking a 30-m coaxial cable and a 2.5-m safety-related cable for use in a nuclear power plant as two typical examples.
