Fault Finding

[E.E.I]

Hi,

Does anybody have any tips or tricks on how to find where a break in electric UFH cables.

I was thinking of using a tone generator and hoping to trace the tone until it stops.

Thanks

had a client once, lots of electric ufh laid under a posh marble floor and busted insulation readings after job done. he called helpline provided by manufacturer, they came out with I believe a high voltage source and a FLIR camera, spotted the fault in no time, one floor tile got lifted, they repaired the faulty bit with some special splices..

Was that under warranty? Or did you have to pay for them to come out?

One of our very regular customers does a fault finding service, he tends to use a Thermal Imaging camera and then pinpoint the break from the cold spot in the cable.
