Pilot Cable Fault Detection System
An Intelligent and field-proven system that accurately detects the location of underground supervisory control cable (pilot cable) faults, while significantly reducing downtime and cost of maintenance.
Conventional pilot cable fault detection relies heavily on manual inspection, resulting in slow fault localization, inconsistent accuracy and a high risk of human error. These limitations prolong outage, delay restoration work and increase repair and operational costs.
The Pilot Cable Fault Detection System designed for underground pilot cable maintenance. The system precisely identifies the location of open circuit and short circuit faults, enabling targeted excavation and efficient repair works. This ensures faster fault resolution, reduced site disruption, and optimized maintenance planning.
The Pilot Cable Fault Detection System deliver a faster and more precise approach to locating underground pilot cable faults. Using advanced high-frequency pulse injection and electromagnetic wave (RF) detection principle, the system enables accurate identification of both open-circuit and short-circuit faults. By dramatically reducing the time required for fault pin-pointing, the system minimizes downtime, lowers excavation costs, and improve overall network reliability
