After excavation, sometimes it is confusing to identify the right cable from a bunch of cables. Cable Identification is very important for the safety of field personnel – Cutting a wrong cable can be fatal. So, we require a Cable Identification System to identify the wanted cable.

Cable Identification is the most critical and safety-related sequence during all the procedure of Cable Fault Location. The correct identification of a cable out of a bundle of cables, where most of them can be in service, has to be carried out not only carefully, but also by means of an instrument widely eliminating the possibility of human error or misinterpretation.

The Cable Identification System, CFL CIS from SCOPE is the ultimate solution for identifying wanted (dead) cable from a bunch of cables in a trench, pit or cable rack. The SCOPE’s Cable Identification System, CFL CIS is designed to fulfil these most important safety aspects

Surge Generator is the backbone of underground cable fault locator test systems. Surge Generator is used with a Prelocator for fault distance measurement and also used with a PinPointer for pinpointing the fault spot.

SCOPE offers CFL SG Series Surge Generators up to 32kV and 2000 Joules. They are compact, rugged, user friendly and have all safety features in place. They are the ideal choice for fault location on all type of power cables. It can also be mounted in a cable test van for quick fault location if one wants to opt for optional van mounted configuration.

For prelocation it is used in ICM (Impulse Current Method) and SIM (Secondary Impulse Method) / MIM /ARC modes. In this modes, one also needs to use SIM Filter for stabilising the arc at fault. For pinpointing it is used as Thumper to create magnetic as well as acoustic signal across the fault, which is sensed by Pin Pointer.

Testing of the power transmission towers grounding (G) quality poses a serious problem as they are all electrically interconnected by means of Ground Wires which act as lightning rods, protecting the lines from atmospheric discharges. Due to the existence of this connection, any attempt to measure a tower grounding (G) resistance using a conventional earth meter leads to wrong results as what is really being measured is all the shunt towers grounding (G) resistance (or, more precisely, its impedance at low frequency).

To make this kind of test feasible, which is of vital importance to ensure the transmission of the electrical power without interruptions, TENTECH TM25t grounding resistance meter for high frequency has been developed. This is the appropriate tool for a fast, safe and reliable grounding resistance measurement in each tower of a working line transmission, without disconnecting the ground wire.

Its operation is based on the use of a high-frequency measurement current (25 kHz), for which ground wire inductive impedance - taking into account a typical length span - is reasonably high, making it possible to reduce the effect of the adjacent towers under measurement. The equipment only measures the ground resistance of the surveyed tower, including its base. The extensive G systems, such as meshes, buried wires, metal pipes, etc, are measured only considering the closest section to the connection point, so that the measured value represents the performance against a pulse signal similar to an atmospheric discharge. Thus, values that better represent the system capacity to ground lightning currents than the ones obtained with low frequency conventional equipments, even when disconnecting the ground wire, are obtained. TM25t is a strong equipment, easy to carry, resistant to the hard weather and geographical features of the tropical and high-mountain regions, that is why it is described as an excellent product for field works under the most severe environmental conditions.

The EM-4058 earth tester is a digital, microprocessor controlled instrument that allows to measure the earth resistance and ground resistivity (using Wenner´s method), as well as to detect parasitic voltages present in the ground. This instrument is suitable to measure earth systems in power substations, industries, distribution networks, etc., according to IEC 61557-5.

In order to conveniently test the earth system, EM4058 allows to perform measurements using the test current which frequency may be operator-selected (270 Hz, 570 Hz, 870 Hz, 1170 Hz or 1470 Hz). On one hand, the lowest frequency will allow to analyze the earth system behavior related to fault currents of industrial frequency, while on the other hand, the measurement performed with the highest frequency will best show the behavior in connection with electrical currents caused by lightning and will offer a very high immunity related to interference voltages that are usually present in soils, specially near substations.

The instrument has four ranges that are automatically selected, covering measurements from 0.01 Ω up to 20 kΩ, which allows to obtain very accurate measurements for any kind of soils. During ground resistivity measurement, the operator may indicate the distance between spikes in order for the equipment to apply Wenner's formula and to show the resistivity value directly.
