Informative results and compliant with the standards

VLF cable testing and diagnostics

Standards cable testing and diagnostics | BAUR GmbH

Based on international research as well as decades of practical experience, VLF cable testing and diagnostics on medium-voltage systems is now a recognised method among leading bodies and associations. What this means for you is that cable and sheath testing as well as diagnostic measurements with VLF voltage are performed in compliance with standards. Measurement sequences and evaluation criteria to international standards are pre programmed into the software. You decide which standard you would like to follow; our devices come with the relevant procedures. With the creation of customised sequences, BAUR Software 4 for testing and diagnostics also enables standard-compliant testing and diagnostics with sufficient flexibility to produce your own diagnostics philosophy – for optimum integration in your diagnostics sequences.
