Medium Voltage Cable Fault Location
Locating faults in underground Medium Voltage cables is one of the most demanding and critical procedures in electrical network maintenance. A cable failure can lead to operational downtime, increased costs, and significant delays. That is why SCANTEK offers specialized fault location services with cutting-edge technology and absolute technical precision.
Advanced Detection Methods
Utilizing latest-generation equipment, we apply internationally recognized methods for the precise location of faults, such as:
- TDR (Time Domain Reflectometry) for determining the distance to the fault.
- High Voltage / VLF Testing – Burn Down for fault isolation and stabilization.
- Acoustic & Electromagnetic Pinpointing for precise location on the ground.
- Sheath Fault Location for faults in the outer sheath or shielding.
Through the combined use of these methods, we achieve centimeter-level accuracy, minimizing the need for excavation to the absolute minimum.
What SCANTEK’s Fault Location Service Ensures:
- Rapid restoration speed, significantly reducing downtime.
- Avoidance of unnecessary excavations, which increase costs and labor time.
- Safe diagnosis, using methods that protect the rest of the installation.
- Technical documentation, with a full fault report, photographic evidence, and measurements.
- Advisory support on next steps, so the client knows exactly what is required for repair.
