3. Sheath faults
Sheath faults are damage of the cable sheath
that allows the surroundings contact with the
cable screen.
4. Faults due to moisture
Water penetrates into the cable sheath and
contacts the conductors.Impedance
changesat the fault location make measuring
more difficult. The resistance usually lies in
the low-ohmic range.
5. Disruptions
Combination of series and parallel resistances,
usually in the form of a wire break. The
voltage is interrupted, i.e. = .
