We are pleased to announce that our company’s self-developed cable fault locator has successfully arrived in Croatia and is set to play a significant role in the local power system. This milestone marks our continued growth and expansion in the international market.

Cables are susceptible to faults caused by insulation aging, insulation moisture, cable overheating, mechanical damage, sheath corrosion, overvoltage, material defects, intermediate joints and terminal head design and manufacturing process problems during normal operation and maintenance operations.

Once a fault occurs, it usually takes a lot of manpower and material resources to dig the cable out of the ground for troubleshooting. This type of troubleshooting method is most likely to cause problems such as low troubleshooting efficiency, long search time, and low test accuracy. This article will combine the work experience in recent years to explore the types of signal cable faults, the main causes, and the methods and techniques for finding cable faults using cable fault testers.
