3.8.1 Fields of Application
The
Easyflex Com
allows various type of faults to be detected. These are a
few examples:
3.8.1.1 Faults Causing a Negative Reflection
(1) Short circuit: Direct contact of two conductors of a cable. This will
cause a negative reflection, see Fig 4.

(2) Short-circuit to shield: One conductor in a cable is in contact with the
metal shield of the cable. For locating this type of short-circuit, first
disconnect earth from the shield. Then connect the test leads to the
shield and the conductor which is shorted with it.
(3) Reversed (mixed-up) wires: Reversed wires generate a reflectogram
similar to a short circuit but reflections are smaller in size.
