Test and measurements, which are performed on shielded power cables to identify the location of a fault, are described. Whenever possible, the limitations of a particular test and measurement to locate a fault are provided and recommendations are made regarding specialized fault-locating techniques. A fault characterization chart is included as an aid to select a fault-locating technique.

Guide for Fault-Locating Techniques on Shielded Power Cable Systems
This document serves as a comprehensive guide for fault locating on shielded power cable systems. It focuses on techniques that preserve cable integrity, help minimize customer outage time, and consider customer equipment sensitivity. This guide applies to all voltage levels of insulated, shielded power cable systems, offering utility personnel, engineers, and technicians effective methods to identify, characterize, pre-locate, and pinpoint faults with accuracy and efficiency.
Standards approved by the IEEE SA Standards Board that are within the 10-year lifecycle.
No Active Standards
These standards have been replaced with a revised version of the standard, or by a compilation of the original active standard and all its existing amendments, corrigenda, and errata.
No Superseded Standards
These standards have been removed from active status through a ballot where the standard is made inactive as a consensus decision of a balloting group.
No Inactive-Withdrawn Standards
These standards are removed from active status through an administrative process for standards that have not undergone a revision process within 10 years.
No Inactive-Reserved Standards
