Measurement of the distance to the researched line irregularity 

6.6.1   The  distance  to  the  researched  line  irregularity  to  be  measured  according  to  the 

method in issue 5.4. 

6.6.2   The type of irregularity of the researched line to be defined according to the Table 2 

and issue 2 of a given User Manual. 

6.7  

The analysis of typical irregularities of the researched line 

THE COMMENT to the pictures 6-1 

– 6-4: the researched line is sketchily shown at 

the top of the picture, a waveform of this line is shown at the bottom part of the picture. 

6.7.1  Distance definition to sockets, joints and breaks 

 

 

Picture 6-1 Sockets, joints, breaks 

 

Reflection  from  irregularity  that  distinguishes  the  cables  joint  is  expressed  in  a 

positive  polarity  response.  The  quality  of  a  cable  splice  should  be  evaluated  by  the 

reflected  response  magnitude.  The  domain  reflectometer  allows  the  user  to  distinguish 

several discrete irregularities. The cursor position 1 depicts the reflected pulse of positive 

polarity that denotes the connection in a cable line. The connection in the cursor position 2 

was done worse than the previous connection. The reflected pulse in the cursor position 3 

denotes the break (end) of the cable line. 

6.7.2  The determination of distance to short circuit between the cable cores 

The  reflection  from  irregularity  characterizing  the  cable  core  short  circuit  is 

expressed  in  the  negative  polarity  response  and  is  a  special  case  of  reduced  insulation 

resistance.  The  magnitude  of  reflected  pulse  is  almost  equivalent  to  the  pulse  reflected
