Spectral Analysis for Current and Temperature Measurements in Power Cables

Abstract This research aims to detect spectral properties under thermal and current variations for power cables. Therefore, spectral diversities are exposed under current unbalances and different load conditions through the spectral analysis techniques. Also, huge load variations are easily detected from the current signals in the time-frequency plane using the short-time frequency analysis. Hence, this study presents the determination of the frequency characteristics and spectral similarities between the phase currents and thermal variations.
