Fault Analysis
Electrical discharge activity sound indicative of arcing profile was detected on the cable compartment. It is
recommended that visual inspection to be conducted safely and any anomaly regarding this matter should be
rectified immediately before it develops further. Uniform temperature distribution across the panel indicates no
thermal anomaly.

Recommendations
1. Inspect the cables, busbars and connection points to busbar section
for signs of electrical discharge occurence.
2. Replace damaged cable/busbar for permanent rectification.
3. Note that 'solutions' such as putting insulator material between
crossed cables and cleaning visual mark indicative of the presence of
electrical discharge, cleaning and wrapping the affected area with
silicone tape and/or sealant are only temporary solutions. It can
actually worsen the condition by providing a bridge for the discharge
to travel across.
4. Ensure proper ventilation to avoid moisture build-up.

Fault Analysis
Higher surface temperature area at the cable connection level. It is possible that a weak internal connection
causes this heating. Note the warm area that is restricted only within this feeder, indicating its locality. High
loading may also contribute to the anomaly. MEDIUM category is used as precaution due to the high voltage
nature of this feeder and higher temperature internally. Ultrasonic sound pattern indicates no presence of
electrical discharge.

Recommendations
1. Check load against switchgear and cable ratings.
2. Ensure sufficient amount of SF6 gas is available.
3. If scheduling permits, open and rework the cable connection end.
Look for burn mark.
4. Trend the reading with next inspection result.

Fault Analysis
Hot spot detected on the B phase cable insulation. It is recommended that visual inspection to be conducted
safely and any anomaly regarding this matter should be rectified immediately before it develops further. The hot
spot possibly originated from physical damage caused by previous occurence of electrical discharge.

Recommendations
1. The best possible solution is to replace a damaged cable section for
permanent rectification. Smooth all rough and sharp edges. Clean and
ensure good contact on cable joints.
2. Note that 'solutions' such as putting insulator material between each
phase (if phase cables are crossed) and cleaning visual mark indicative
of the presence of electrical discharge, cleaning and wrapping the
affected area with silicone tape and/or sealant are only temporary
solutions. It can actually worsen the condition by providing a bridge
for the discharge to travel across.

Fault Analysis
Hot spots detected on the R, Y and B phase cable insulations. It is possible that higher resistance exists at cable
connecting sections, such as crushed/damaged conductor strands. It could aslo be due to originate from physical
damage caused by previous occurence of electrical discharge. However, ultrasonic sound pattern indicates no
presence of electrical discharge.

Recommendations
1. The best possible solution is to replace a damaged cable sections for
permanent rectification. Smooth all rough and sharp edges. Clean and
ensure good contacts on the cable joints.
2. Note that 'solutions' such as putting insulator material between each
phase (if phase cables are crossed) and cleaning visual mark indicative
of the presence of electrical discharge, cleaning and wrapping the
affected area with silicone tape and/or sealant are only temporary
solutions. It can actually worsen the condition by providing a bridge
for the discharge to travel across.
3. Remove the fault indicator sticker after repair.

Electrical discharge activity sound indicative of corona profile was detected on the R phase cable. It is
recommended that visual inspection to be conducted safely and any anomaly regarding this matter should be
rectified immediately before it develops further. The discharge is accompanied by hot spots on the R, Y phase
cables caused by discharge damage on the cable insulations.

Recommendations
1. The best possible solution is to replace a damaged cable section for
permanent rectification. Smooth all rough and sharp edges. Clean and
ensure good contact on the cable joints.
2. Note that 'solutions' such as putting insulator material between each
phase (if phase cables are crossed) and cleaning visual mark indicative
of the presence of electrical discharge, cleaning and wrapping the
affected area with silicone tape and/or sealant are only temporary
solutions. It can actually worsen the condition by providing a bridge
for the discharge to travel across.

Relative increment in surface temperature especially at the cable connection level with obvious thermal pattern.
It is possible that a weak internal connection causes this heating. High loading may also contribute to the
anomaly. MEDIUM category is used as precaution due to the high voltage nature of this feeder and higher
temperature internally. Ultrasonic sound pattern indicates no presence of electrical discharge.

Recommendations
1. Inspect the cables, busbars and connection points to busbar section
for signs of electrical discharge occurence.

Fault Analysis
Hot spots detected on the R and B phase cable insulations. It is recommended that visual inspection to be
conducted safely and any anomaly regarding this matter should be rectified immediately before it develops
further. The hot spots possibly originated from physical damage caused by previous occurence of electrical
discharge.

Recommendations
1. The best possible solution is to replace a damaged cable for
permanent rectification. Smooth all rough and sharp edges. Clean
and ensure good contact on cable termination.
2. Note that 'solutions' such as putting insulator material between
each phase (if phase cables are crossed) and cleaning visual mark
indicative
of the presence of electrical discharge, cleaning and wrapping the
affected area with silicone tape and/or sealant are only temporary
solutions. It can actually worsen the condition by providing a
bridge for the discharge to travel across.

Higher surface temperature area at the cable connection level. It is possible that a weak internal connection
causes this heating. Note the warm area that is restricted only within this feeder, indicating its locality. High
loading may also contribute to the anomaly. MEDIUM category is used as precaution due to the high voltage
nature of this feeder and higher temperature internally. Ultrasonic sound pattern indicates no presence of
electrical discharge.

Recommendations
1. Check load against switchgear and cable ratings.
2. Ensure sufficient amount of SF6 gas is available.

1. The best possible solution is to replace a damaged cable section for
permanent rectification. Smooth all rough and sharp edges. Clean and
ensure good contact on cable joints.
2. Note that 'solutions' such as putting insulator material between each
phase (if phase cables are crossed) and cleaning visual mark
indicativeof the presence of electrical discharge, cleaning and
wrapping the affected area with silicone tape and/or sealant are only
temporary solutions. It can actually worsen the condition by providing

Electrical discharge activity sound indicative of corona profile was detected on the cable. It is recommended that
visual inspection to be conducted safely and any anomaly regarding this matter should be rectified immediately
before it develops further. The discharge is accompanied by hot spot on the R phase cable caused by discharge
damage on the cable insulation.

Recommendations
1. The best possible solution is to replace a damaged cable section for
permanent rectification. Smooth all rough and sharp edges. Clean and
ensure good contact on cable joints.
2. Note that 'solutions' such as putting insulator material between each
phase (if phase cables are crossed) and cleaning visual mark
indicativeof the presence of electrical discharge, cleaning and
wrapping the affected area with silicone tape and/or sealant are only
temporary solutions. It can actually worsen the condition by providing
a bridge for the discharge to travel across.

Temperature difference between the upper section of the cable (S1) and lower section (R). Considering no other
high temperature source, this suggests a possible termination problem at higher temperature in the cable
compartment. The heater was switched off for the inspection, making the captured heat comes only from internal
parts and ambient conditions. Note that this measurement is indirect. HIGH category is assigned knowing that
the temperature is higher at the source and the presence of discharge on the front panel.

Recommendations
1. Ensure no other heat source is present in the cable compartment that
could influence the heating.
2. Shut down and inspect the physical condition of the cable
connections. Look for heat-damaged signs, e.g. burn mark.
3. Rework the cable terminations.

Fault Analysis
Electrical discharge activity sound indicative of corona profile was detected on the cable compartment. It is
recommended that visual inspection to be conducted safely and any anomaly regarding this matter should be
rectified immediately before it develops further. Uniform temperature distribution across the panel indicates no
thermal anomaly.

Recommendations
1. Inspect the cables, busbars and connection points to busbar section
for signs of electrical discharge occurence.
2. Replace damaged cable/busbar for permanent rectification.
3. Note that 'solutions' such as putting insulator material between
crossed cables and cleaning visual mark indicative of the presence of
electrical discharge, cleaning and wrapping the affected area with
silicone tape and/or sealant are only temporary solutions. It can
actually worsen the condition by providing a bridge for the discharge
to travel across.
4. Ensure proper ventilation to avoid moisture build-up.
5. Remove the fault indicator sticker after repair.

Fault Analysis
Hot spot in the middle cable length indicating restriction at this point, whether from damaged conductor strands
or due to previous occurrence of electrical discharge, which had stopped at the time of the inspection. It may
however, reappear under changeable future condition, as the damage had been done on the cable insulation.
MEDIUM category is chosen due to high voltage nature of the cable.

Recommendations
1. The best possible solution is to replace the damaged cable section
for permanent rectification. Smooth all rough and sharp edges. Clean
and ensure good contact on cable joints.
2. Note that 'solutions' such as putting insulator material between each
phase (if phase cables are crossed) and cleaning visual mark indicative
of the presence of electrical discharge, cleaning and wrapping the
affected area with silicone tape and/or sealant are only temporary
solutions. It can actually worsen the condition by providing a bridge
for the discharge to travel across.

Electrical discharge activity sound indicative of tracking profile was detected on the cable compartment. It is
recommended that visual inspection to be conducted safely and any anomaly regarding this matter should be
rectified immediately before it develops further. Uniform temperature distribution across the panel indicates no
thermal anomaly.

Recommendations
1. Inspect the cables, busbars and connection points to busbar section
for signs of electrical discharge occurence.
2. Replace damaged cable/busbar for permanent rectification.
3. Note that 'solutions' such as putting insulator material between
crossed cables and cleaning visual mark indicative of the presence of
electrical discharge, cleaning and wrapping the affected area with

Fault Analysis
Hot spots on the cable insulations where permanent physical damage caused by previous occurence of electrical
discharge. Although ΔT is low, the high voltage nature of the cables warrants at least a visual inspection when
scheduling permits. Even though no discharge was detected, it may return in the future under the right condition.
Therefore, this is categorised as a defect for precaution.

Recommendations
1. The best possible solution is to replace a damaged cable section for
permanent rectification. Smooth all rough and sharp edges. Clean and
ensure good contact on the cable joints.
2. Note that 'solutions' such as putting insulator material between each
phase (if phase cables are crossed) and cleaning visual mark indicative
of the presence of electrical discharge, cleaning and wrapping the
affected area with silicone tape and/or sealant are only temporary
solutions. It can actually worsen the condition by providing a bridge
for the discharge to travel across.
3. Remove the fault indicator sticker after repair.

Fault Analysis
Hot spot on the cable insulation where permanent physical damage caused by previous occurence of electrical
discharge. Although ΔT is low, the high voltage nature of the cable and discharge mark warrant at least a visual
inspection when scheduling permits. Even though no discharge was detected, it may return in the future under
the right condition. Therefore, this is categorised as a defect for precaution.

Recommendations
1. The best possible solution is to replace a damaged cable section for
permanent rectification. Smooth all rough and sharp edges. Clean and
ensure good contact on cable connection.
2. Note that 'solutions' such as putting insulator material between each
phase (if phase cables are crossed) and cleaning visual mark indicative
of the presence of electrical discharge, cleaning and wrapping the
affected area with silicone tape and/or sealant are only temporary
solutions. It can actually worsen the condition by providing a bridge
for the discharge to travel across.
3. Remove the fault indicator sticker after repair.

Hot spot on the cable lug press. Bad contact between the cable strands to the lug is suspected. This could be due
to insufficient (loose contact) or excessive pressure (crushed contact) applied.

Recommendations Corrective Actions


1. Rework the cable press assembly.
2. Ensure the bolted surface is cleaned and sufficient
tightening applied.
3. Be cautious about overtightening as it can damage
the connecting surfaces resulting in another hot spot.
4. Remove the fault indicator sticker after repair.
