Summary:
A UK company has developed a novel tension recorder for use during the installation of HV (high voltage) underground cables. The robust stainless steel device records cable tension and pull start/stop times during installation. They are seeking European companies who supply to HV cable installers for distribution agreements.
Description:
The UK company has developed a metal cable attachment that has a robust stainless steel design for use in harsh environments. The device has a charge and data interface USB port and a data download software facility and is able to record cable tension during installation for automated report generation.
Installation activities are measured on the asset to provide evidence that it was not over pulled during installation and that its service life is maintained.
The device has calibration traceability and is able to be paired with universal cable pulling equipment. In addition, the device has an owner ID tracking service.
They are seeking electricity distribution companies/distribution network operators (DNOs) and HV cable installation contractors that would benefit from this innovation in their work laying cables as well as equipment distributors to the HV cable industry via distribution agreements.
