Cable Condition Monitoring System

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.

Cable condition monitoring system.

An ap sensing distributed acoustic sensing das system is monitoring a 6 km high voltage power cable in germany. 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. With conventional systems a sensor is needed for each point of interest. A key feature of das is the ability to immediately detect and locate cable faults.

Condition monitoring for power cables often entails a manual periodic inspection process. This helps optimize transmission and distribution networks and reduces costly and unnecessary operational costs and asset downtime. The system consists of the functionalities of online dielectric loss dl monitoring outer sheath and earthing system condition monitoring and a rapid fault localization system all based on monitoring of cable sheath currents. 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.
