Online CableData Collector™ Service

Designed to enable collection of PD information from MV/HV cables while the cable is online.

EA Technology’s CableData CollectorTM (CDC) has been designed to enable collection of PD information from MV/HV cables with the cables online.

If required, EA Technology can project manage large programs of activity using the CDC to gather information on a significant number of cables, our team of specialist engineers can then analyse the data and provide a condition report with recommendations.

Benefits

• Gather valuable condition data on high value assets that typically have limited information
• Quick assessment of a large number of cables to build up a total view of the condition of a distribution cable network
• Target the more expensive and higher risk off-line cable PD testing
• Prevents unplanned outages by identifying cable defects before they fail
• Expert cable condition analysis and reporting service to assist with asset decisions

Features

• Equipment is lightweight and portable
• Applicable for single and three phase cables
• Works with all insulated cable types
• Expert cable condition analysis and reporting service
