Underground Conduit Circuit Test
Underground Conduit Through Testing
Feature
Progress
- To improve the quality of underground cable construction and prevent cable accidents by identifying the internal diameter and curvature of the test tube and the location of obstacles through the camera before entering the underground cable.
- Securely insert cables by removing obstacles to the optimum direction of pipe penetration and defective locations.
- Whole equipment connected to the cable is pushed and pulled from both sides
- Save the measured data to the connected computer
- Maximum testable extension: 500M
Cable CURE
Outline
- Extend cable life about 20 years by injecting silicone fluid into the cable to reinforce cable insulation.
- Savings in replacement costs approx 40% (based on AL CABLE replacement)
- Construction in Korea for 25 years since 1996 (Record: About 2,500 km)
Target
- CNCV cable available, watertight cable construction not available
- CNCV cables (manufactured from 1998 to 1998) / then watertight cables available (W)
Product Feature
- insulation reinforcement principle
- Remove moisture and voids in cable by chemical reaction of injected silicon fluid
- Prevention of insulation destruction caused by insulating defect by pre-removal of the causes of water tree
- Reinforcement of cable insulation by polymerization of silicone (23.6 kV/mm) - CURE Effect
- Increase insulation strength of cable by 350%
- Continually improve by 0.5% daily for 2 years
- Cable life is extended by 20 years due to prevention of water ingress.
