The diagnosis of PE / XLPE cables applies for
evaluation of an IRC measurement a software-module with neuro-fuzzy-extension. The intelligent multi-stage evaluation software take into consideration the special construction criteria of the test object and categorizes
the condition of the test object, including an anticipated maximum residual voltage level.

The software includes a database with automatic research for calculation of voltage withstand prognosis values according to data material of the standard DIN VDE 0276 as well as the protocolling of the diagnostic results.

The RVM cable evaluation is done using proven standardized factors and threshold values.

The opening of the electric power markets and new
forms of asset management lead to the need to
increase life cycles of installed energy components and to be more economic regarding  existing underground installations. Using integral diagnostics, the cable operator has a valuable tool for non-destructive
analysis of the cable network. This condition based maintenance makes planning easier whether to repair
or replace an existing cable.
