Underground cables

Existing thermal modelling and rating solutions are based on static models and cannot predict, detect and prevent hot spots caused by changes in the surrounding thermal environment.With Sensornet’s Dynamic Cable Rating solutions you can predict hotspots caused by changes in the surrounding thermal environment to optimise the level of power in cables - without exceeding rating limits or reducing network lifetime.

The dynamic rating system is based on Sensornet's leading Distributed Temperature Sensing (DTS) technology. It is an extremely versatile system and can be configured to work in many different environments and for differing cable geometries and configurations (e.g. Trefoil, Flat lay....). Some of the applications that can be protected include:

  • Buried Cable
  • Cable Ducts
  • Ventilation control of Tunnels
  • Linear Heat Detection (Tunnels, Trays, Ducts...)
