IEEE Guide for Investigating and Analyzing Power Cable, Joint, and Termination Failures on Systems Rated 5 kV Through 46 kV

Abstract

This guide applies to the process of investigating, evaluating, and analyzing field failures. This guide covers the overall format for failure analysis and subsequent guides will specifically address cables, joints, terminations and separable insulated connectors. Included is a recommended flow charting process that can be used to help guide an individual through the failure analysis process.
