Disturbances in the distribution network have consequences!

Do you want to reduce disturbances?

Do you want to eliminate cable faults fast and reliably?

…then we are your partner

A V O I D D I S T U R B A N C E S

Testing and diagnosis with truesinus® digi-

tal technology reliably detects and locates

fault positions and installation problems even

before breakdown, independent from test

voltage level and cable length.

You can accomplish cable testing and dia-

gnosis at the same time.

you to plan your investments.

Large utilities experienced that their

‘replacement investments’ could be

rescheduled, or were much smaller than

anticipated.

You can plan your investments. The quality

rises and so do the conveyance revenues.

The quantity of disturbances drop, and hence

so do the costs of ownership.

Reliable and fast pre-location shortens the

disruption time. Cable tracing eases the

search for the fault.

Precise and easy pinpointing fastens the

repair.

System upgrades are also available for third

6 KTG NE

Cable drum rack with electrical drive for the 3phase high vol-tage cable, mains and earth cable.

Methods of Testing

VLF truesinus®

The VLF truesinus® test method filed for patent by BAUR ena-bles cable networks to be tested for electrical strength to inter-national and national standards.

The conceptual design of BAUR TRANSCABLE software permits the test sequence of the VLF source to be controlled either manually or automatically. A standardised operation in the selected language guides the user through the test sequence.

The high-voltage source is designed for VLF truesinus® and also for DC and square wave test voltages. It also permits the use of diagnosis procedures.

Methods of Diagnosis

Partial Discharge Measurement using VLF truesinus®

The partial discharge measurement enables a quick, reliable deter mination of the partial discharge measurement and source location along a section of cable.

The BAUR TRANSCABLE software user interface guides the ope-rator through the entire measuring process, from calibration to evaluation and generation of the automatic test report.

The measuring results are shown graphically and provide a clear view of the partial discharges over the entire cable length.

Tan Delta VLF truesinus®

Tan Delta VLF truesinus® cable diagnosis is a tried and tested, well-established method for the integral assessment of the aging condition of an installed cable. Besides customised evalu-ation criteria, BAUR provides a database collected over 15 years for the assessment of plastic cables (PE/VPE).

The continuous observation and recording of the diagnosis results enable statements to be produced on criteria - such as good, aged, severely damaged -for the assessment of cable insulation.

BAUR TRANSCABLE software permits an automatic measuring sequence alongside which the VLF high-voltage generator is controlled and the current measuring results are recorded, eva-luated and documented.

Insulation Test

The most important and oldest diagnosis of a cable installation is the insulation measurement. The leakage current with incre-ased DC voltage enables a reliable statement to be made on the condi tion of an oil-insulated (PILC) cable. In the case of plastic cables, the leakage current is a criterion for the assessment of sheath damage.

Methods of Fault Location

Pre-Location

Cable TracingA successful cable fault location relies on knowing the position of the cable and other lines laid in the soil. Magnetic frequency procedures can be used to establish the position and depth of the cable using the minimum or maximum method. The exact position of a joint can be established using the Twist Field Method.

Time Domain Reflection Method (TDR)The TDR method is the most established and widely used mea-suring method for establishing the total length of a cable and the distance of cable faults and interruptions.

Fault Burn Down TechnologyHigh-resistance cable faults are treated using powerful high-vol-tage burner units. The emerging fault is low-resistance and can therefore easily be measured using the TDR method. This application is employed for conventional PILC cables.

Secondary Impulse Method SIMMultiple Impulse Method MIMThe SIM/MIM is the latest and most efficient measuring method for pre-locating cable faults. The particular benefits of this method is the simple handling, universal application and extremely simple interpretation of the echograms. High-resistance faults are ignited by a surge voltage impulse, the fault distance is measured repeatedly by the IRG Echometer within a single discharge, automatically stored and displayed on the screen. The fault distance evaluation runs fully-automatically.

Impulse Current Method ICMICM is the conventional location method for high-resistance cable faults, especially on long cables. A surge voltage generator up to 32 kV is coupled to an echome-ter via a current converter. The breakdown in the fault generates a current impulse, which is recorded by the echometer.

Surge Current Differential Method DICMThe simultaneous measurement of two cable cores using the differential method enables the fault distance to be determined, even with cable faults that are difficult to locate. This measuring method is applied particularly for long cables, e.g. >10 km, in the T-branch network and overhead transmission line faults.

Decay Method and Differential Decay MethodThe Decay Methods are used to locate cable faults with high break down voltage > 32 kV. A VLF or DC high-voltage source ignites the high-resistance fault and the transient wave recorded in the echometer is used to measure the fault distance.

Methods of Fault Location

22 23

Acoustic Fault LocationThe acoustic method is applied for precise pin-pointing of the cable fault. The filter that can be selected in the receiver and the propagation time measurement supports the user in field applications and permits a reliable, precise location of the fault even in difficult soil conditions.

Acoustic Propagation Time MeasurementA micro-controller calculates the fault accurate to the centime-tre from the magnetic and acoustic wavelengths. The distance is indicated in metres or in feet.

Voltage Drop MethodVoltmetric methods are used to locate the sheath fault and establish faults on illumination cables or low-voltage cable installations from the voltage drop.

Twist Field Location The Twist Field Location Method patented by BAUR is success-fully employed in signal and multi-core cable installations. If conventional location of saturated short circuits fails in locating sleeves, the magnetic frequency twist field location method pro-vides a simple solution. Cable Identification Reliable readout is a safety-specific activity prior to cutting a cable. The computer-supported APT (Amplitude – Phase – Time) procedure developed by BAUR is the most reliable method of reading out one core the other.

Cable Sheath Fault LocationThe cable sheath is usually insulated with PVC or PE synthetic, in order to prevent ingress into the insulation. To detect faults at the earliest possible stage, DC sources are used to test sheath insulation and DC impulse signals for locating sheath faults.

truesinus®

digital technology

truesinus® digital technology is the latest, completely sinusoi-dally generated VLF-truesinus high-voltage. The most careful test on medium-voltage cables according to VDE, IEC and IEEE* prevents, without offset, the emergence of harmful space charges in cable insulations.A load and therefore indepen-dant comparability between test results enables highly-modern, digital control, which other systems cannot offer. The sinusoidal voltage wave-form defined by truesinus® digi-tal technology is the only accu-rate initial basis for a reliable cable diagnosis with regard to dissipa tion factor measurement and partial discharge escation.
