Cable Fault Locating (Radar), Part 1 is designed to familiarize participants with how a radar cable fault locator works, how to interpret the information provided by a radar cable fault locator, and how a radar cable fault locator can be used to test a section of underground residential distribution (URD) cable. To gain maximum advantage from this course, participants should have a basic understanding of URD systems and troubleshooting procedures used for URD cable faults. Participants without this prior training may require additional explanation or instruction.

At the conclusion of this course, participants should be able to explain how a radar cable fault locator works and what the information provided by the fault locator means. They should also be able to describe how to use a radar cable fault locator to test a section of URD cable.
