Cable Fault and Sheath Testing

Cable Fault and Sheath Testing

To identify cable sheath in an underground location, cable sheath locators are specifically used for cable fault location. Sheath and earth faults can develop in any type of underground cables due to mishandling or manufacture defects that can lead to difficult detection procedures if not handle with the right cable sheath test locating equipment.

In Saudi Arabia, CEPCO Sales offers cable fault and sheath locators from internationally recognized brands such as BAUR.

The BAUR cable sheath locators, for cable testing faults, generally have the following characteristics:

  • Cable and cable sheath testing
  • Resistance measurement
  • Cable and cable sheath fault pre-location with precision measuring bridge
  • Adjustable cable sections that can be defined with length, conductor cross-section, and material respectively and can be considered in the distance calculation
