EA Technology CDAS Analytical Software

This software suite can be installed onto the most appropriate computer to perform the analysis e.g. on the engineer's desktop PC, rather than the laptop used to collect the data. The data can be analysed individually in single-phase mode or, for ease of interpretation if three phases of the same circuit have been captured simultaneously, the data can be processed and analysed together.

The data that has been collected in the substations is processed by the CableData® Analysis Suite (CDAS) software. Both filtered and unfiltered data can be analysed to determine the level of noise on the cable and identify partial discharge activity. If reflected pulses are detected from the far end of the cable, it is possible with assumed signal propagation speeds to estimate the location of any detected partial discharge activity.
