Location cords cables fault detection

Construction and earthworks are increasingly being carried out in locations densely occupied by buried utilities. How to really prevent their damage and avoid costly repairs? One solution is cable, wiring and buried utility locators which enable safe construction and earth moving. Nearly construction projects involve some earthwork. A result is usually the need to adapt new construction features to the buried utilities existing on site, which means building next to, over, or under the utiliti

When you think about locators, “Sonel” is the first word that comes to mind. This manufacturer of measuring instruments has been offering professional solutions for cable tracing and fault detection for over a decade. The well-known LKZ-720, LKZ-1000 and LKZ-2000 models have just been joined by a new locator set – Sonel LKZ-2500. The solutions introduced in the new set are unique on a global scale, and they include functions that were previously only found in much more expensiv

Companies dealing in power engineering, telecommunication or widely defined construction industry encounter many problems related to underground power cables or other utilities. Refineries, water and sewage management entities or repair companies need to know where their own or other cables are located, so as not to damage them during works. Sonel offers both widely used and renowned Sonel LKZ-1000 locators. Now we are introducing a new model of the cable and pipe locator – Sonel LKZ 2000.

Time Domain Reflectometers have been in existence for many years and are the fastest, most accurate method of locating faults in metallic cabling. The instrument is generally referred to by its abbreviated title of Sonel TDR-410. Other countries have adopted names such as cable radar and Pulse Echo Meter. Time Domain Reflektometer Sonel TDR-410   If a cable is metallic and has a minimum of two conductors separated by a dielectric (i.e. twisted pair or multi core cable) or a conduct

Earthworks that consist not only in various excavations but also in laying sewer pipes, water supply pipes, and cables involve a high risk of damage to underground utilities, which may result in dangerous accidents. European Union laws require the contractor to ensure the safety of workers, third parties, and their private property. In order to limit the risk of an accident, a number of actions must be taken, which must include determination of the location of the existing underground utiliti
