Online Cable Testing System Identifies and reports Partial Discharge (PD) activity in Live Cables

Being able to test HV/MV cables without taking them out of service avoids disruption to your business, whilst delivering valuable insights into the condition of these key assets. Our skilled staff collect condition information on-site quickly and easily using our Cable Data Collector simply by attaching split core High Frequency Current Transformers (HFCT) to the cable earths. Three core belted cable or single core cables can be accommodated, and data is captured in minutes.

Once the condition data is safety collected and stored it is a simple task to transfer it to our analysis software, where our experts will review and analyse the results, producing a customised report for you containing recommendations for any follow up actions.
