Read MoreHome / Role of optical cable sheath monitoring
Sheath current monitoring enables early detection of abnormal electrical behavior in cable sheaths, which can indicate faults, grounding issues, or thermal stress. This paper sets out how the power sector can capitalise on these advances after first considering. External factors, like a farmer placing a haystack over the cable or road repaving, can cause a cable's temperature to rise, potentially leading to overheating. Our solution offers smart IoT sensors, edge devices, and APM software to monitor sheath currents continuously, capturing early indicators of wear.
