What economic advantages and values motivate for the application of condition-based maintenance
•
Financial benefits
- Properly used cable diagnostics provide enormous financial benefits for the power utility when existing cable routes do not need to be replaced.
•
Network planning support
- When the cable condition is known, maintenance measures can be carried out efficiently.
- Cable diagnostics is the basis for efficient network planning.
•
Reduction of cable failures
- Weaknesses in the cable are detected in an early stage, and cable faults can be avoided. Power outages can be minimized.
What measures do I derive from the diagnostic results?
•
Cable diagnosis measurements include TDR (Time Domain Reflectometry), TD (Tangent Delta) measurement, and PD (Partial Discharge) measurement. Diagnostic systems provide complex measurement data.
•
The measurement data must be compared against limit values depending on many cable and accessory parameters.
•
Only with a lot of experience suitable limit values and logical connections can be defined according to the cable structure and the cable configuration.
•
We offer workshops where the threshold values for all measurement parameters are defined and represented in an evaluation logic with clear recommendations for action.
