XL-CFL – BAUR cable fault location for long submarine & underground cables
Indispensable and robust, but sadly not indestructible: Long land and submarine cables for global power supply
Due to the growing demand for power and increasing dependence on renewable energy – more and
more of which is being generated offshore – submarine power cables are becoming indispensable for a reliable energy supply. Among experts, submarine cables are classified as critical infrastructure. Why critical? Firstly due to the harsh environment in which they are installed. Secondly – and this is also the most common cause of faults – submarine cables are exposed to mechanical stress, such as currents, fishing, or heavy ships' anchors, at irregular intervals and at all water depths, which can result in significant damage.
BAUR solutions for XL cable fault location
Suitable for all cable types:
- HVDC submarine cable links (monopole, bipole)
- HVDC land cable links
- AC submarine cable systems
- Combined AC land and submarine cable systems
BAUR XL-CFL – the advantages:
Security of supply as the top priority with your proven system for fast and efficient cable fault location
Since 2010, BAUR has been developing individual product solutions for fast and efficient fault location on long land and submarine cables. With the powerful systems and extensive expertise of BAUR specialists, critical cable faults on submarine cables have been located rapidly, efficiently, and precisely in recent years. You too can rely on BAUR expertise and the high-performance technologies that have been tried and tested worldwide.
