BAUR measuring technique: Meaningful results and standard compliant
Based on international research as well as decades of practical experience, VLF cable testing and diagnostics on medium-voltage systems is now a recognised method among leading bodies and associations. What this means for you is that cable and sheath testing as well as diagnostic measurements with VLF voltage are performed in compliance with standards. You don't have to concern yourself with standard-compliant work procedures as we've already taken care of that for you. You decide which standard you would like to follow; our devices come with the according procedures. Through the creation of customised sequences , the BAUR Software 4 for testing and diagnostics also enables standard-compliant testing and diagnostics with the appropriate flexibility to design your own diagnostics philosophy – for optimum integration in your diagnostics sequences.
BAUR measurement methods for underground cables and accessories:
The dissipation factor measurement
(tan δ measurement)
Dissipation factor measurement is a non-destructive and integral procedure that serves to evaluate the condition of an entire cable route.
Partial discharge testing
Partial discharge diagnostics is used to determine possible fault locations in cables and accessories before they lead to failure.
Online PD testing
With the help of liona, the portable BAUR online PD spot tester, cables can also be tested for partial discharges whilst live (online).
Monitored Withstand Test
The time-saving combination of testing and diagnostics is known as the Monitored Withstand Test (MWT).
