Develop an online system for 66kV sheath fault detection/location

In an operation of power cables, it is important to keep track of sheath insulation as unhealthy cables usually leads to many problems. If there are insulation faults in the sheath, the cable's life will be shortened overtime due to overheating and water seeping into the cables. The disruptions...
