Development of Condition Assessment Criteria for Medium Voltage Underground Cable Water Ingress Joint Using Combined Diagnostic Testing

In an electric power utility system, medium voltage underground cable joint condition assessment is a crucial part of the network for meeting today's asset management needs. The improperly installed cable joints are exposed to water due to the moist surroundings. Currently, it is challenging to...
