If you can capture data on the condition of your power cables, you can lower maintenance costs and postpone investments permanently.
Designed to satisfy today the operating requirements of tomorrow.
For utilities the most valuable asset is their cable network worth several billions (replacement value). However, very little is known about its condition. Supplying energy is your key business, monitoring partial discharge activity ours.

The KEMA Smart Cable Guard® product range is designed to withstand the harsh environmental requirements set out by clients and at the same time it is easy to install.
The control unit is located at each side of the power cable.
The sensor contains two coils, an injection coil and a receiver coil.
