Abstract

The integrity of an electrical cable is vital for the reliability and safety of a system. The change in operating conditions of the electrical cable often leads to unanticipated faults or premature ageing and any such defects has to be monitored so that corrective measures can be taken within the time limit. This is relevant particularly in the case of ships since they cannot afford discontinuity in power supply. In this paper, an experimental setup is developed to create and monitor the intermittent faults in ship electrical system using power line communication. The advantage of this technique is its non-intrusive nature in monitoring the faults.
