Cable Fault Locating

Underground HT/LT cable faults pre-located by TDR and pinpointed by surge generator — then repaired, jointed and proof-tested.

Cable Fault Locating — Tajalli Tech

Digging blind costs days. We pre-locate electronically and pinpoint with a thumper — one excavation, one repair.

Typical pinpoint accuracy ± 1 metre

What we provide

  • TDR pre-location of the fault zone
  • Thumper / surge pinpointing
  • Sheath fault & cable route tracing
  • HT/LT cable laying & jointing
  • Heat-shrink terminations
  • Post-repair hipot proof test

Why choose Tajalli Tech for cable fault locating

At Tajalli Tech, we provide comprehensive underground HT and LT cable fault-locating services designed to identify and repair faults with precision, avoiding the repeated excavation that conventional methods require. Our engineers first carry out electronic pre-location using a time-domain reflectometer (TDR) to establish the fault zone, then pinpoint the exact position to within about a metre using a surge generator and acoustic receiver. We also undertake sheath and earth-fault testing and full route tracing, ensuring the fault is located accurately before any excavation begins. Our experience includes locating a fault on Northern Coalfields' 50 MW system that two other vendors were unable to resolve.

What you get

On completion, you receive documented findings identifying the fault type and its distance along the run, a marked dig point on the cable route and recorded sheath and earth-fault test readings. Following repair by our certified jointers, a hipot proof-test is carried out before re-energising, with results prepared in accordance with applicable IS/IEC standards so the feeder returns to service on documented evidence.

Can you locate a fault that other contractors have been unable to find?

In most cases, yes. A clear TDR trace combined with surge pinpointing narrows the majority of faults to within a metre. Our engineers mobilise across Lucknow, throughout Uttar Pradesh and pan-India.

Do you carry out the cable repair as well as the fault location?

Yes. Our certified jointers complete the repair, and every run is hipot proof-tested before it is returned to service, with the results documented for your records.
