Hi Reloadron
I don't have the cable size to hand but I do know its single core, it's like overhead power line cable and yes have access to both ends
Thanks
Assuming this is all about a high voltage cable: Surely I cannot affort buying such kind of test equipment. The local power company owns such a device, and thay sure need a space wagon (at least) to carry it around.This is an example Grossel and crutschow are talking about and is really sort of a poor mans version of a TDR (Time Domain Reflectometer). A Google of "time domain reflectometry" should bring up plenty of hits.
That wont work unless either of two conditions is true:Well if it is single conductor you could measure the resistance end to end. As to using a relay and running a current through it much of those methods would work but that is where we get to knowing the cable conductor size, knowing that we can get the resistance per thousand feet and work from there.
