CABLE TESTING & FAULT LOCATING EQUIPMENT

HVI has extensive knowledge and field experience in fault locating and cable testing along with the best tools for the job. Fault locating requires more than just a thumper. Efficient fault locating requires the convergence of knowledge, methodology, and the right hardware. A total approach is needed to get the job done quickly to minimize customer outage time and prevent further damage to the cable system. This includes knowledge of the cable systems design, construction, history, accurate maps, proper fault locating procedures and the right thumper which should include a high resistance fault burn down method, time domain reflectometer/cable radar compatibility, and a top-level acoustic/electromagnetic listening device. HVI can assemble the best system and approach possible to meet all needs from 5kV – 230kV cable.
