Abstract: A method and device can be used with a power transmission line. Pre-fault voltage and current phasors and during-fault voltage and current phasors for each of first, second, and third terminals are determined based on disturbance records. Using an assumed faulted section, values for a propagation constant of each section, a surge impedance of each section, and a fault location parameter are computed. The computing is based on simultaneously solving pre-fault and during-fault objective functions for the assumed faulted section with the computed pre-fault and during-fault voltage and current phasors. The pre-fault and during-fault objective functions are formulated based on equating junction voltages determined from two of the terminals, conservation of charge at the junction, and equating fault location voltages determined from one terminal and the junction. The values determined for the propagation constant, the surge impedance, and the fault location parameter can be compared with predefined criteria.

Abstract: Embodiments herein discuss tuning a testing apparatus to better match the input response of a target system in which a cable will be used. For example, conductors in the cable may have a different skew depending on the system in which they are used.
