Cable identification can help establish the correct circuit or cable within a group before planned work or repair. It is a technical identification service and does not replace the client or network operator’s applicable safety rules, proving-dead or spiking procedures.
What the service can include
- Cable identification in trenches and substations
- Circuit identification support
- Phase/conductor identification where applicable
- Support during fault investigation
- Clear limitations around operational safety procedures
What we need from you
Send the site location, network voltage, approximate cable length and type if known, what protection operated, any existing IR/continuity test results and whether the cable route is known. Photos of terminations, switchgear labels, drawings or previous test records are useful where available.
Repair after location
Where a fault position is confirmed and the cable is safely isolated and accessible, suitable repair works can be coordinated through R&D Cable Jointing .
