A journey of thousands of miles / Tanbos rushed to Mozambique, Africa, and successfully located the difficult cable fault

Recently, Tanbos team was invited by a world-renowned cable company to travel to Mozambique. From Hangzhou → Guangzhou → Nairobi to Maputo, carrying equipment, it took 25 hours and crossed 14,000km to provide technical support for cable fault testing, diagnosis and fault finding for power companies in the region, and to help the construction and development of Africa's power infrastructure with practical actions.

After arriving at the local area, Tanbos’s engineers relied on their professional and technical knowledge in the field of cable faults, using Tanbos portable cable fault location system, cable sheath status evaluation and fault location system, intelligent digital bridge and other equipment, Using traveling wave reflection, step voltage and other methods, after 16 days, a total of 9 sheathing faults and 3 main insulation faults were successfully located for the customer, which greatly shortened the power outage time, not only significantly improved the operating efficiency of the power line, but also effectively promoted the power supply stability and reliability.
