ABOUT THE COURSE

Cable Failure Investigations
DAY 1

	SESSION 1 : Failure and Mechanism – Cable Fault Characteristics Different types of cables systems Extruded Cable Systems XLPE EPR Paper Cable Systems Fluid filled cables MI cables Accessories Mixed Cable Systems
	SESSION 2 : Types of Failure Causes in cables Design faults Faults during production Installation faults Degradation mechanisms for cables Water trees Electrical treeing Contaminants, protrusion of the semi-conductive layers and voids in the insulation and at interfaces. Thermal Degradation Sheath-faults Moisture ingress and water ingress Neutral corrosion Lead corrosion Oil starvation
