"The majority of medium-voltage overhead lines are currently operated with AlFe conductors which have a simple construction and which rank among the cheapest versions of overhead lines from the point of view of initial investments. These overhead lines can be susceptible, however, to faults primarily in mountain and wooded areas, with an ensuing decrease in safety and operations reliability, as well as with limitations to the electric power supply. This draws attention to outdoor overhead lines with covered conductors, which are relied upon for use for connecting \u201Cde- fined\u201D systems (SMART GRIDS) with an external electric power system. These conductors, with mostly XLPE and PE basic insulation, are able to resist both mechanical and electric strain caused by falling trees or branches and consequently their total number of faults is significantly lower. Massive usage of overhead lines with covered conductors is currently contradicted by prevailing diffi- culties in detecting faults. This article describes the possibility of detecting covered conductor faults and verifying the methodology under both laboratory and real conditions." .
