Why Hotspot Monitoring in Power Cables
Hotspots in power cables are often caused by a combination of electrical, mechanical, and thermal stressors. These can arise from factors like loose connections, electrical overloads, or insulation degradation. Such stressors indicate abnormal conditions that can lead to electrical fires or power outages, and they accelerate the aging of cable materials, resulting in premature failures. If left unaddressed, these hotspots may cause the cable insulation to break down, further diminishing its dielectric strength and increasing vulnerability to faults. Traditional hotspot monitoring frequently fails to detect minor hotspots or other contributing issues, leading to unexpected outages that can result in significantly higher costs.
By implementing proactive maintenance strategies, continuous monitoring can be ensured, even for the most minor temperature hotspots, enhancing cable safety, extending lifespan, and boosting its reliability.
