AP Sensing's Fiber-based current monitoring on 132 kV HVAC cables in Copenhagen
HVAC power cables are vital for power transmission, and monitoring their condition is crucial for ensuring safe operations and promptly addressing defects or faults to minimize downtime. To enhance reliability, Energinet and AP Sensing implemented a pilot installation of AP Sensing’s fiber-based current monitoring solution (FbCM) on a new 132 kV HVAC cable connecting two substations in Copenhagen.
This cable, installed in a cross-bonding configuration, spans two major sections totaling 3.7 km.
