Home / Non-destructive optical cable testing
This paper provides a review of the main optical NDT technologies, including fibre optics, electronic speckle, infrared thermography, endoscopic and terahertz technology. Optical non-destructive testing (NDT) has gained more and more attention in recent years, mainly because of its non-destructive imaging characteristics with high precision and sensitivity. The paper shows that to improve the cable product quality and reliability, it is necessary to control and diagnose both current-carrying conductors and insulation at all stages of their life cycle. However, common methods and devices make it possible to control only one specific parameter. Traditional identification methods rely on destructive techniques such as cutting, bending, or freezing, which not only risk signal interruption but can also lead to permanent fiber damage. Vibration-based photoelectric sensing technology, utilizing an optical cable identifier, is transforming this. Combined with linear scanning and axial rotation, the three-dimensional (3D) data of the columnar target is.
Today, many electrical methods such as partial discharges detection and high voltage breakdown tests yield fruitful information on power cable insulation quality and have been performed
