Product Description
Product Overview

Cable sheath integrity is an important consideration in underground power cable maintenance. Damage to the outer sheath may allow moisture ingress or compromise the cable protection system, depending on the cable design and installation environment.

Sansion Power provides cable sheath fault location equipment designed to support the testing and investigation of suitable sheath defects.

The correct testing method depends on cable construction, sheath design, grounding arrangement, and the applicable testing procedure.

Testing Functions
  • Support for applicable cable sheath integrity testing.
  • Detection of suitable sheath insulation defects.
  • Sheath fault distance estimation or pinpointing, depending on the selected equipment.
  • Assistance with locating suspected sheath damage.
  • Optional integration with a broader cable fault location system.
Applications
  • Underground power cable maintenance.
  • Cable installation and acceptance checks.
  • Utility cable inspection.
  • Industrial cable network maintenance.
  • Investigation of suspected sheath damage.
  • Cable repair and diagnostic services.
Addressing Common Site Challenges
  • Uncertain sheath damage location: Suitable testing equipment can help narrow down the suspected damaged section.
  • Difficult site conditions: Cable route, soil conditions, grounding arrangements, and access restrictions may affect the testing procedure.
  • Unclear equipment compatibility: Not every cable fault tester includes sheath fault location functionality. Verify the instrument's intended application before ordering.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What is a cable sheath fault?

It is a defect affecting the cable's outer sheath or sheath insulation system. Its significance depends on the cable construction and operating environment.

Q2: Is sheath fault location the same as conductor fault location?

No. These tasks address different parts of the cable and may require different test connections and methods.

Q3: Can a standard TDR locate every sheath fault?

Not necessarily. A dedicated sheath testing or locating method may be required, depending on the defect and cable construction.

Q4: What details are needed for equipment selection?

Provide the cable type, sheath construction, approximate cable length, grounding arrangement, and suspected defect characteristics.

Q5: Can sheath testing equipment be part of a complete cable fault location system?

Yes, where the selected system supports the required sheath testing functions and compatible accessories.
