Power Cable Testing & Fault Location

Course Introduction

Power Cable fault locating and testing takes on a whole new dimension with the modular Cable Fault locating Concept from Megger. We have geared our development to the industry requirements for a more tempered fault-locating method and have developed more sophisticated methods that reduce the stress on insulation systems. In absence of CBM, the power or control cable fails without any notice.

To find the fault is a very tedious job and requires a lot of tools and a combination of tools and expertise to locate the fault in the cable. Precise fault location can save a lot of money and can reduce the down time for the customers and the power could be restored within the shortest possible time The Electricity Companies have to supply electricity to the consumers at the lowest possible cost commensurate with safety.

Power cables represent a major capital asset for electricity suppliers. While in service power cables must be maintained and monitored in order to anticipate faults and possibility avert any failure. Faults in underground cables can occur at any time, and the causes are many and varied. When faults do occur they generally cause loss of supply to customers and a loss of revenue for suppliers. So, it is imperative that the fault location process is efficient and accurate to minimize excavation time, which results in results in reducing the inconvenience to all concerned. For fault locating to be efficient and accurate technical staff needs to have expert knowledge accompanied with experience in order to attain service reliability.
