Abstract

Marius Florian Preduș, Elisabeta Spunei*, Monica Roşu This paper analyses the electrical performance of power supply cables in operation by investigating previous faults and forecasting faults using the Easyfit Professional 5.6 software program. The calculation of the maximum operating time until the first fault occurs is based on an algorithm for estimating the parameters entered in the application, respectively the intervals of good operation time between two successive faults. The case study presented in the paper analyses the probability of failure of a medium voltage power line, under the administration of a distribution operator, based on information collected during maintenance work on medium and low voltage installations in the analysed area.
