For low-voltage distribution faults, damaged buried cables, open circuits, shorts and low-resistance earth faults. We use appropriate first-line testing and TDR methods to establish the likely fault position before excavation or repair.
What the service can include
- Insulation resistance and continuity checks
- TDR pre-location where suitable
- Cable route tracing
- Comparison testing between conductors or phases
- Fault repair through R&D Cable Jointing where required
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 .
