July 27, 2011
Prepared by Michael Polly,
Product Manager - Substation Condition Monitoring
Product Summary:
- Confidence to maximize underground cable loads when demand requires it!
- Accurately detect temperature related faults
- Verify underground cable operating model in real time
- Highest accuracy measurement chain available
- Flexibility to meet any power utility need
Why Underground Cable Temperature Sensing?
- There are almost 16 million Km of underground power cables globally – with much higher growth vs overhead cables
- Life cycle costs for underground power cables are up to 5 times more than overhead power cables
- Majority of electrical utilities in Transmission and Distribution have to increase the loads on circuits above their design limits regularly and need to understand what impact it has on condition of their key assets – including the cables (temperature is main method to provide condition assessment)
