>VISCAS technology for diagnosing submarine cable deterioration
-Water-tree hidden in insulator
There is a possibility of water-tree deterioration in submarine XLPE cable which has been used for a long time. Growth of water-tree causes cable insulation destruction (grounding fault). VISCAS cable insulation deterioration diagnosis is performed to suit various types of cable and customer needs.
6.6kV or less DC leak current testing
22-33kV Residual charge voltage sweep method
(Wet cross-linked cable)
Loss current method
(Dry cross-linked cable)
>VISCAS undersea cable inspection and cable work
-Electrical corrosion eats away armoring
Electrical corrosion and mechanical wear occur due to tidal EMF produced by the earth's magnetic field and tides, and there is a possibility of deterioration in iron wire armoring.
There is potential for cable breakage accidents when submarine cable is corroded.
We investigate iron wire status on the sea floor.
