RS Electro: The BAUR Fault Location application performs intelligent control when locating cable faults

The BAUR Fault Location App is an application, which optimizes the process for testing electrical cables, as it regulates the current and impulse energy based on the condition of the cable and thus reduces electrical and thermal load on the isolation. With it, it guarantees better protection for the technician and the equipment. “The application allows remote control of all the main functions of the Baur fault location system. In operation mode, the operator receives a clear visualization of key measurement parameters, including the cable route, fault location, test van position and his own location.” commented established trade and engineering company and partner of BAUR, RS Electro, to BalkanEngineer.com.

With the BAUR Fault Location App, the operator receives a complete and detailed picture of the current situation while working. The app visualizes all the necessary information in a convenient and easy-to-understand interface.

The main functions it supports include:

• Cable route (if on hand): Instead of relying on paper schematics or separate maps, the whole cable route can be directly visualized via the application. This simplifies navigation around the terrain and reduces the risk of problems;
• Exact location of the damage: Thanks to integrated measuring and location functions, the application accurately pinpoints the location of the damage. This saves time and effort, as the team can focus on the concrete area;
• The location of the cable test van or system: In real conditions, it is important to know where the testing equipment is positioned. The application provides this information in real time, easing the team’s coordination.
• The technician’s location: For added security and comfort, the application displays the current location of the technician. This ensures better coordination for the team and transparency during the work process.
