DJ-1000
HV Cable On-line Monitoring and Fault Location System
About the DJ-1000
The use of cables on transmission systems is becoming increasingly common, which can make the location of faults on the system difficult to locate. The DJ-1000 uses travelling wave technology, coupled with an extremely high sampling rate, to provide an accurate fault location. The system is also capable of identifying and locating sheath faults and monitoring the load. It is applicable to HV AC cables, including underground, underwater and hybrid systems.
