Velocity of Propagation (Vp) values are characteristic of each cable type
and brand.
The Vp is used to measure the length of a cable and to measure a fault
location. The more accurate the Vp, the more accurate the measurement
cable batch variations or for special cable applications.
1. Take a cable sample of exact length increments (ft or m) longer than
60ft (20m).
2. Measure the exact length of the cable using a tape measure.
3. Connect one end of the cable to the Fault Mapper (see § 4.11). Leave
other.
4. Measure the length and adjust the Vp until the exact length is displayed.
5. When the exact length is displayed, Vp is established.
