Cables Feeder Protection
Faults Types, Causes & Differential Protection
In the realm of cables feeder protection, various fault types can occur, leading to disruptions in the system. Common types of faults include electrically induced failures, mechanically induced failures, thermally induced failures, metallic shield damage, and poor metallic shield contact. These faults may arise from lightning strikes, switching surges, partial discharges, or other environmental factors.
Common Types of Faults
- Electrically induced failures

Differential Protection
In the realm of cable feeder protection, various fault types can occur, leading to disruptions in the system. Common types of faults include electrically induced failures, mechanically induced failures, thermally induced failures, metallic shield damage, and poor metallic shield contact. These faults may arise from lightning strikes, switching surges, partial discharges, or other environmental factors.
Differential Protection (87): Lightning, switching surges, partial discharges
When it comes to cable feeder protection, differential protection plays a crucial role in detecting faults such as those caused by lightning, switching surges, and partial discharges. These types of faults can induce inaccuracies in relays, leading to errors in protection schemes. To effectively address these challenges, specific differential protection mechanisms need to be implemented to ensure the reliability and efficiency of the protection system.
