Finding cable faults with less digging

The most common cable faults are fault to earth and core to core.

A licensed electrician needs to be present on site in order to disconnect the power. Once disconnected, a LADS technician can trace the electrical cable and pinpoint the damage along the line.

By using this method you can significantly reduce your time in locating where the damage or fault is along the alignment.
