Locates defects in power cables

MONCABLO is a customizable, permanently-installed system for the continuous on-line monitoring of partial discharge (PD) activity in the electrical insulation of high-voltage cable systems, including cable terminations and joints. Advanced diagnostic techniques enable you to reliably evaluate insulation condition and locate defects to prevent costly in-service failures at an early stage.

• Detailed measurement
  Synchronous, multi-channel partial discharge data acquisition enables you to gather more complete data for more reliable assessments of PD activity in power cable insulation.
• Reliable data analysis
  Advanced noise suppression and multiple partial discharge source separation techniques ensure that only relevant PD data is evaluated so that you can detect faults quicker.
• Automatic problem notification
  Detailed partial discharge trend analysis with warnings and alarms of high PD activity helps you to identify potential problems and to make timely maintenance decisions.
• Remote data access
  The comprehensive software enables you to configure the monitoring system, change alarm thresholds and view real-time data and trends remotely using the convenient web interface.

Complete diagnosis of cable insulation

Using a unique patented technology, PD defects are reliably located along the entire cable length. These features enable you to make PD measurements for after-installation testing of HV cables. The system software also allows you to easily correlate PD data with the data from third-party sensors, such as temperature and oil pressure sensors, also installed on the cable system.

Key features

• Customizable to match cable system architecture
• PD monitoring and diagnosis features available in one system
• Synchronous PD data acquisition at all cable accessories
• Advanced PD localization along the entire cable length
• Cutting-edge web-based management, data access and visualization
• Alarm notification via Email
• Seamless integration with third-party monitoring devices and SCADA systems

Applications

• PD measurements for site acceptance testing (commissioning) of newly installed HV cables
• Continuous on-line PD monitoring of installed HV cables to prevent in-service failures
