One of
Power Products & Solutions fastest growing services is our Medium Voltage
Cable Termination and Testing service.
We are one of the leading medium voltage cable terminator and testing
companies in the North and South Carolina area with a total termination
count of over a thousand medium voltage terminations for the first six
months of 2010. With our
technicians installing so many medium voltage terminations, you can rest
assured that their termination and testing skills are at peak performance.
With this sector of our business
showing steady growth, we are always looking at ways we can provide our
customers more services that will meet their needs concerning maintenance of
their medium voltage cables. We
have found that a large percentage of our customers are concerned about the
longevity of their medium voltage cables feeding their facilities.
This concern has prompted many of our customer’s maintenance and
plant managers to include visual and mechanical inspections and
non-destructive testing of their MV cables on a more consistent basis.
So we took note of our customers concerns and invested in a Tan Delta
cable test set to meet their IEEE medium voltage cable testing
specifications and requirements.
We have performed Tan Delta testing for some of our customers who have vintage medium voltage cables and the results have been quite impressive. Our customers have already seen benefits to using this latest progression in the technology of cable testing by finding problems in cable terminations and splices. By performing Tan Delta testing on our customers medium voltage cables, we gain the ability to gather and record test data, and we can use this data to determine if the cables have developed any signs of deterioration from previous testing. There are also advantages in performing Tan Delta testing on new medium voltage cable installations. By performing Tan Delta testing when the cables are placed into service and re-testing on a consistent three to five year maintenance cycle, we can determine the life expectance of the conductors and locate any problems before they play havoc on the electrical system. If you wish to have further information on Tan Delta testing or any other medium cable testing services that we offer, please contact us.
