Cable Monitoring Solutions

Maximize the utility, increase the operational performance and monitor the cable's health

Electricity is fundamental in today's world, where power cables have become indispensable for energy supply security. Therefore, maximising cable asset utility is essential but challenging due to fluctuating demands in different markets and environments, as well as the introduction of new and renewable energy sources.
All of this shows the importance of transmitting power to what it is most needed. Cable monitoring supports you in maximising your cable throughput, preventing failures and reducing outage time, and extending the cable system lifespan.
With over 130 years in the cable industry, NKT collaborates closely with sensor system suppliers, such as fiber optic sensing systems, while also developing our own advanced monitoring systems, such as curvature montioring. Yet, the key benefits of a monitoring system come when you Integrate sensors with real-life knowledge and experience.
NKT provides access to a team of experts for who are skilled in drawing the right conclusions and making the right recommendations.

Please choose an application area & product

Utilising our temperature-sensing technology allows for real-time monitoring of the temperature profile along a cable, offering valuable data to maximise throughput and detect potential issues, such as hotspots, early on. Distributed Temperature Sensing (DTS) leverages a physical phenomenon in the optical fiber to gauge temperature accurately.
An optical laser pulse is transmitted through the fiber, and the analysis of scattered light returning to the transmitting end provides precise temperature measurements along the cable's length. This information facilitates the detection of hotspots and enables temporary cable overload in conjunction with a real-time thermal rating system.

Real Time Thermal Rating (RTTR)

RTTR allows temporary cable overloading by acurately predicting temperature evolution under various loads. Use RTTR to increase the utility of your cable by exceeding its rating when power is needed.
