How does fault location and repair work?

When a fault occurs on the high voltage network, the impacted section needs to be safely isolated through operational switching. Our team of SAPs will then make the system safe to facilitate the fault location process to pinpoint the exact location using data from a range of wide range of test equipment Out test engineers have considerable experience locating and finding faults and often use a combination of varying techniques and processes to precondition the fault to allow for accurate location.

After the fault has been located, our experienced team can also conduct highly technical, and sometimes bespoke repairs to get your system back online again with minimal downtime. Having a team of our own personnel, who are authorised to install multiple different cable systems and associated products, allows us to deliver an unrivalled superior level of service that’s both efficient and reliable.

Pinpointing techniques for unrivalled accuracy

At Ventus Energy, using established distributed acoustic sensing technology, we’ve developed a superior technique that’s been tried and tested to gain an exact location of any network fault. This involves a combined approach of using fibre optic as a microphone to pick up any vibrations, as well as GPS coordinates taken from on board a vessel. As a result, we have an established proven track record of pinpointing faults often to within 10m or less - an accuracy level that is critical to achieving the fastest repair at least cost.

Fault conditioning

For high resistance faults that are difficult to locate, fault conditioning is a tried and tested process which changes the fault resistance in a controlled manner in order to apply traditional fault location techniques. This highly specialised service requires sophisticated equipment and a high level of engineering experience.

"Fault location is a challenge we see our customers face time and time again - costing them valuable time and money. Thanks to our innovative solutions and highly specialised personnel, Ventus Energy has established itself as one of the few companies capable of providing a turn-key safe and efficient fault location solution, with a reputation for applying a superior level of precision and accuracy no matter the network conditions."
