TDR

TDR, or Time Domain Reflectometry, is a technique used to find issues in electrical cables. It works by sending a quick electrical pulse down the cable and measuring how long it takes for reflections to come back. These reflections occur if there’s a break, short, or change in the cable’s insulation. By analyzing the timing and strength of the reflected signals, technicians can pinpoint the exact location and nature of faults or damage within the cable, making TDR a valuable tool for maintenance and troubleshooting in various industries.
