Problems Related to Selected Methods and Techniques of as-Built Surveys of Low- and Medium-Voltage Electricity Connectors with a Practical Discussion

Abstract

Abstract The aim of the paper was to analyse problems related to the inventory (as-built survey) of low and medium voltage power lines. Measurement methods and techniques were analysed as well as the influence of the network type (low and medium voltage) on the as-built survey procedure. For this purpose, information obtained from five as-built survey reports of medium and low voltage using different measurement methods was also used. Three of them were sample as-built survey of low voltage cable lines measured by tacheometric method, one as-built survey of medium and low voltage lines measured by GNSS method and one of low voltage cable made by indirect method using cable locator and measured by GNSS technology. The paper analyses the differences arising from the accuracy of the measurement, the difficulties encountered during the implementation, the time-consuming nature of the work performed, taking into account safety aspects for the persons performing the work.
