Cable fault location
Locate faults quickly, minimise downtimes
BAUR offers numerous devices for the various different fault location methods. In the following, we propose possible solution packages depending on the type of cable and use. However, our sales and service employees will gladly recommend an individual, customised package especially for you.
Control cables
Here, the focus is on various control cables, e.g. in switchgear, telephone cables, traffic light pre-emption, etc.
Low voltage cable
… voltages up to 1 kV.
Medium voltage cable
… voltages from 1 kV to 36 kV (country-specific).
High voltage connection cable
… voltages from 36 kV (country-specific).
Very long submarine and land cables
Very long cables for voltage transport, e.g. from offshore turbines, to supply power to islands, etc.

Cable faults
Basic conditions, types of faults
Cable damage can be due to various causes. The most common sources of faults include end of service life and external influences as well as improper assembly. When these types of cable faults occur, the defective spot needs to be detected as quickly as possible and the fault rectified in order to minimise the duration of the failure.
Process steps & methods
The right measurement method counts
The objective of fault location is to locate a cable fault as quickly and precisely as possible so as to provide the ideal basis for fast repair and reconnection. Fault location is carried out methodically following a logical sequence made up of four steps.
