Description / Abstract:
This guide covers specific methods of failure mode
classifications and analysis for shielded power cables rated 5 kV
through 46 kV.
Purpose
The purpose of this guide is to provide an introduction to the
concepts of failure analysis, ways in which it can be used, and the
value that can be obtained. The guide covers some of the commonly
used methods employed in failure analysis and how these methods can
be applied in determining the cause of failure for the components
used in the construction of an underground power cable system.
Ultimately, the guide will serve as a source for documenting known
failure mechanisms and will provide a format for the documentation
of new failure mechanisms once they have been identified.
