The article presents a statistical analysis of the failure rate of MV and LV cable lines in a selected power supply area. For comparison, failure statistics for the entire plant, covering the studied area, are presented. The causes of failures in such networks are provided and analyzed. Statistical data regarding the repair times for the studied MV and LV lines are also provided.1. INTRODUCTION
Reliable electricity supply to consumers is one of the fundamental tasks of both the entire power system and specific power engineering services. The correct operation of electrical equipment depends on it, which consequently also reflects on financial settlements between the supplier and the consumer. Among the elements determining the quality of the supply of this medium is the failure rate of power system blocks, which limits or completely prevents the delivery of energy. The most important parts of the energy transmission and distribution system include power lines, including cable lines. The article will present issues related to the failure rate of MV and LV cables in a selected power supply area and for a given plant covering the analyzed area. (…)
