The OHVMS has been developed to meet the specific requirements of the offshore wind farm renewables market and provides an advanced, ‘early warning’ against cable insulation faults through the detection of:

– Early-stage partial discharge (PD) activity

– Power quality / harmonic issues

– Sheath currents and overvoltage / overcurrent events
