Cable deterioration occurs naturally with age, especially when exposed to high loading temperatures and even when it is not physically damaged. Many substances such as water, oil and chemicals can contaminate and shorten the life of insulation and cause serious problems. Atlantic Power carries out fault identification services either above or below ground to locate the cable fault and repair as soon as possible.
Cable termination allows cable connections to various types of electrical equipment, such as switchgear.
