The magneto-inductive cable testThe cable is the most important structural element of the aerial railway. The travelling through the running gear, over rollers, round pinions and steering wheels, at a constant high tension, and the influence of the weather subject the cables to a perpetual wear and tear. For this reason they have to be periodically examined for possible damage.The wirebreak is the most frequent cable damage. Others are notches, pressure points, tears, corrosion and parts affected by lightning. Damage can be on the surface of the cable as well in the interior parts.Damaged cable = weakened cableGovernement regulations require therefore a periodic magneto-inductive cable test.In this disturbance-free method of examination the cable is locally magnetized and the differentiated formed magnetic field is abstracted by inductance. The electrical tensions arising thereby are visually recorded as a continuous diagram.
