Many
factors can contribute to cable failures including voids,
cracks, irregularities and improper bend radii, poor support

These problems can cause partial discharges that lead to
complete failure.
Utilization of the IQ Program can enhance cable reliability
by detecting these imperfections before complete failure
occurs. |
