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.
A cable is simply made of a conductor wrapped in one or more layers of insulation material.
With conventional systems a sensor is needed for each point of interest.
An ap sensing distributed acoustic sensing das system is monitoring a 6 km high voltage power cable in germany.
For applications spanning large areas and longer distances these solutions become over complicated bulky unreliable and costly to maintain.
This helps optimize transmission and distribution networks and reduces costly and unnecessary operational costs and asset downtime.
Jubatus offers a range of condition monitoring systems from our partners in germany and italy.
This paper presents the research and development of an integrated high voltage hv power cable condition monitoring and fault localization system.
While testing conductors connectors and end devices is performed in response to specific operational problems cable condition monitoring is performed to identify degradation in cable insulation material and for cable aging assessment and remaining useful life prediction.
Condition monitoring for power cables often entails a manual periodic inspection process.
