Cable diagnostics extend service life of high-voltage cable systems

In the ongoing operation of high-voltage cable systems, impending problems such as undetected assembly errors, ageing and material fatigue or external influences usually go unnoticed. Risks often remain undetected as a result - prevention of failures and malfunctions fails.

Based on the concrete situation on site, the Brugg Cables experts recommend a combination of different diagnostic methods (diagnostic mix) that best map the condition and risks of the cable system. The results of the diagnoses are evaluated, risks identified, and recommendations derived. The customer receives the documentation as well as the respective test reports.

The diagnostic mix - Cable diagnostics help to detect risks on time:

  • Sheath check
  • High Voltage check
  • TDR procedure
  • Recording and analysing partial discharges
  • Thermographic examinations (temperature analyses)
  • Detailed material analyses (f.e. silicone oil, oil and the lead sheath for oil cables)
  • Quality check fibre optics
  • Comprehensive visual inspections

Cable diagnostics ensure the reliable operation of cable systems, extend their useful life, and improve the profitability by preventing potential failures and breakdowns.
