It is very important not only to detect PD signal but also to locate PD source in power cable line including its accessories. In this paper, the PID localization technique using interruption of metal sheath of cable or accessory is described. By interruption of metal sheath, the polarity of PD pulse to be measured on each part can be compared. With this technique, the exact location of PD in the accessory which has some defects can be found. Although the 'Soft' interruption method, that is, cable sheath is divided by semi-conductive layer with the resistance of higher than 1 k$\Omega$, was used instead of 'Hard' interruption method, it is also possible to detect exact location of PD. This technique is considered to be very effective for detecting PD localization in the type test of cable and accessories.

This paper includes new nozzle design, basic design factors of water mist system that minimize a thermal damage of cable causing business interruption and applying underground utility tunnel. A underground concrete structure (2.5 m(H)$\times$2.5 m(W)$\times$25 m(D)) is constructed in order to test a nozzle performance. Under the designing fire scenario, critical thermal damage of cable sheath ($400^{\circ}c$) reached within a 2 minutes with unsuppressed fire, but type 1 nozzle (SMD 470 $\mu{m}$) and type 2 nozzle (SMD 650 $\mu{m}$) control cable temperature below $400^{\circ}c$. A system performance and fundamental design factors; K factor, flow rate, spray angle, size distribution, nozzle pressure, spray density are analyzed and proposed for system optimization.
