Technology Advances in Assessing Low Voltage Cables
Our expert, Rick Easterling, hosted this informative webinar covering condition assessment methods, degradation, failure mechanism, and much more!
Low voltage cables are mostly 600V cable designs supporting power, instrument, and control functions. Condition assessment of low voltage (LV) cables has its own challenges compared to medium and high voltage applications. Thermal conditions, chemical/wet environments, and in some applications, radiation/UV exposure are the principle stressors that contribute to aging. Voltage stresses normally do not contribute to LV aging. However, thermal aging is the dominant concern.
This webinar covers:
• Overview of Low Voltage Cables
• Degradation and Failure Mechanisms
• Condition Assessment Methods and Challenges
• Breakthru Electrical Technologies for Condition Monitoring
• Laboratory Analysis of Cables
Who Should Attend?
• Cable Program Owners
• Electrical Engineers responsible plant operations
• Facilities Managers/Asset Owners- Critical Assets
• Equipment Qualification Program Owners
• Critical Aerospace Assets
• Critical Infrastructure
• Electrical license renewal
