Ultra-Precise 3D
Scanners
We have seen the types of faults in
underground cables and how to detect
them using a megger in the previous article.
This article explains how to locate the exact
place where the fault has occurred. Portable & Metrology-Grade
There are various methods for locating the 3D Scanners. Ultra-High

Varley Loop Test
Varley loop test is also for locating short-
circuit and earth faults in underground
cables. This test also employs the principle

di erence between Murray loop test and
Varley loop test is that, in Varley loop test
resistances R1 and R2 are xed, and a
variable resistor is inserted in the faulted
leg. If the fault resistance is high, the
sensitivity of Murray loop test is reduced
and Varley loop test may be more suitable.
