Cable Condition Monitoring System

This helps optimize transmission and distribution networks and reduces costly and unnecessary operational costs and asset downtime.

Cable condition monitoring system.

A key feature of das is the ability to immediately detect and locate cable faults. For applications spanning large areas and longer distances these solutions become over complicated bulky unreliable and costly to maintain. This paper presents the research and development of an integrated high voltage hv power cable condition monitoring and fault localization system. With conventional systems a sensor is needed for each point of interest.

Condition monitoring technique are presented along with a general discussion on the various properties of electric cable insulation that can be monitored to assess the condition of an electric cable and the dielectric integrity of cable insulation systems. An ap sensing distributed acoustic sensing das system is monitoring a 6 km high voltage power cable in germany. Jubatus offers a range of condition monitoring systems from our partners in germany and italy. A cable is simply made of a conductor wrapped in one or more layers of insulation material.

Distributed temperature sensing has applications in both monitoring by alerting users to any critical faults in networks but also sensing of abnormal conditions ranging from fire detection to cable security.
