Cable condition monitoring system.

With conventional systems a sensor is needed for each point of interest. Condition monitoring technique are presented along with a general discussion on the various properties of electric cable insulation that can be monitored to assess the condition of an electric cable and the dielectric integrity of cable insulation systems. This paper presents the research and development of an integrated high voltage hv power cable condition monitoring and fault localization system. Condition monitoring for power cables often entails a manual periodic inspection process.

The system consists of the functionalities of online dielectric loss dl monitoring outer sheath and earthing system condition monitoring and a rapid fault localization system all based on monitoring of cable sheath currents. This helps optimize transmission and distribution networks and reduces costly and unnecessary operational costs and asset downtime. A cable is simply made of a conductor wrapped in one or more layers of insulation material. While testing conductors connectors and end devices is performed in response to specific operational problems cable condition monitoring is performed to identify degradation in cable insulation material and for cable aging assessment and remaining useful life prediction.

Distributed temperature sensing has applications in both monitoring by alerting users to any critical faults in networks but also sensing of abnormal conditions ranging from fire detection to cable security.
