Because of the presence of large capacitance, measuring the series resistance of a cable as a voltage drop is not an easy task especially at high frequencies. Considering this fact, this letter proposes a method to extract series resistance values of a single‐core cable at high frequencies from the measured frequency response of its open‐ended input impedance. The proposed method has been applied to the measurement of the series resistance of an existing 66‐kV underground cable, and the result is presented. © 2014 Institute of Electrical Engineers of Japan.
