Diagnostic Testing
• Pre-screening TestCatch existing active electrical tree and system components that need to be addressed at a high priority
• TDRDetermine if excessive number of joints
Determine if sufficient amount of neutral remaining
• Pressure TestEnsure existing joints can withstand the injection pressure
• Flow TestEnsure sufficient flow through cable strands
• Post-screening TestEnsure craftwork is properly performed
Assure switching process did not damage the cable

Remaining Impulse Strength
• Is the surge protection adequate?
• Evaluating the remaining impulse strength of a cable is impossible
• Lightning protection practice based on new cable parameters may not be sufficient for an aged cable system

Suggested Actions
Check if arresters are in place in aged cable systems
Verify if arrester lead length are optimum
Evaluate whether protective levels are adequate for desired protection

Conclusion
• The holistic feeder reliability approach includes Enhancement of cable insulationReinforcement of cable accessoriesNon-destructive proof test of the systemSufficient surge protection to meet today’s standards
• The goal of feeder cable program is to review all aspects of the aging portions of a distribution system for enhanced system reliability and to eliminate an unscheduled electrical outage
