CABLE TESTING

Cable Fault Location

Megatest cc's specialised test vehicles are installed with the latest technology for locating cable faults. For the past 26 years, local municipalities have contracted us to locate medium and low voltage cable faults. Our experience in medium and low voltage testing and commissioning spans 36 years. We provide our services to the commercial, industrial, domestic, agricultural and government sectors.

Cable Tracing

Cable tracing is done to obtain the route of a power cable. Plotting cable routes and cable tracing are necessary for future development. Our services have assisted many construction companies in locating live cables.

Cable Identification

When MV cables are spiked in a trench or when many MV cables are exposed, cable identification is crucial. These two methods of cable tracing and identification will aid in preventing mishaps, fatalities, and harm to any equipment operating in areas with live cables.

Cable VLF Pressure Testing

VLF Testing is a technique for testing XLPE cables between 0.1Hz and 0.01Hz. We are
equipped with two portable VLF test sets - a 60 KV RMS sine wave and a 34 KV RMS sine wave. All our testing complies with with international and South African standards standards. We provide client with a test clearance certificate after each test.

AC/DC Pressure Testing

Before terminating cables, switchgear and RMU bus bars should undergo AC pressure testing to guarantee that the apparatus is in operational order.
