Medium Voltage Cable Sheath Testing
Cable sheath testing is a critical procedure for the safe and reliable operation of underground Medium Voltage lines. Its purpose is to detect damage, current leakage, or dielectric failures in the metallic sheath or the cable's protective shielding.
At SCANTEK, we perform specialized sheath tests based on international standards, utilizing advanced, high-precision equipment. With these measurements, we evaluate:
- The electrical continuity of the sheath and grounding quality.
- Any breaches or failures in the insulation integrity.
- Points of moisture ingress or corrosion, which are leading causes of premature faults.
- Leakage current imbalances, indicating underlying degradation.
Based on the measurement results, we can identify problems that are not visible during visual inspection and recommend corrective or preventive actions.
These measurements are an indispensable tool for:
- Preventive network maintenance.
- Assessment of existing infrastructure.
- Technical documentation prior to energization or upgrades.
- Reducing the risk of failure and operational downtime.
With SCANTEK’s methodology, facilities gain a complete picture of their cable condition, with precision, reliability, and technical certainty.
When measurements indicate signs of degradation, Medium Voltage Cable Fault Location is recommended for immediate and targeted technical intervention.
Ensure maximum network reliability — without the unexpected.
