breakdowns in plastic-insulated high voltage power cable systems. The signals which occur during the breakdown and spread as travelling waves in the cable are recorded and evaluated by way of time domain reflectometry (TDR). Since the HiRES Locator is permanently connected to the cable system to be tested or monitored similarly to a black box and evaluates the original breakdown signals in case of a breakdown, neither additional voltage tests nor additional tests systems are required. This saves time and costs in localizing the fault location.
