Electrical Testing and Commissioning Services
Subsea equipment requires reliable electrical power and signal cables to provide vital control and data transmission. High voltage cables are often used to supply power to satellite platforms and subsea pumps. More recently such high voltage cables are also being used to transmit power from offshore renewable energy sources to onshore distribution systems. Elbowtechnology provides electrical testing services for all such cable types. Umbilical electrical cables are tested for continuity resistance (CR) and insulation resistance (IR). High voltage very low frequency (HVVLF) tests are performed to prove the integrity of the high voltage cables. Time domain reflectometry (TDR) traces are also taken on these cables to establish a cable signature. These traces can be used to establish accurate lengths and can also be used to identify and locate various fault conditions such as water ingress.

- Electrical Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR) Testing
We also engage in sales and supplies, distribution of telecommunication and computer systems.
Fiber Optic Cable Testing Services
Elbowtechnology performs fiber optic testing on both multimode and single mode fiber optic cables. Subsea umbilicals tend to have loose tube fiber optic cables in them although topside cables can be ribbon fibers or loose tube construction. Elbowtechnology umbilical services personnel are all formally trained to perform attenuation measurements using both optical time domain reflectometry (OTDR) or light source and power meters. In addition to attenuation measurement, Elbowtechnology umbilical technicians and engineers are capable of mechanical and fusion splicing of both multimode and single mode fiber optic cables.
