Optical fiber based sensor system for monitoring of infrastructures

FEBUS Optics is an innovative company based in Pau (France) bringing a new generation of optical fiber based sensor system to the market, in particular for the maintenance and monitoring of infrastructures.

Partial discharge detection

Our FOGrid solution for comprehensive and continuous monitoring of cable integrity relies on the high performance of our measurement devices and our proprietary FOGrid Suite software solution.

Based on Distributed Fiber Optic Sensing technology, FOGrid enables to detect critical cable events such as partial discharges.

DISTRIBUTED FIBER OPTIC SENSING FOR PARTIAL DISCHARGE DETECTION

A partial discharge produces an electrical arc. The insulation of the sheath is endangered, and the cable degrades more rapidly.

As the released load is very low, all measurement devices are not powerful enough to detect it. The FEBUS A1 (DAS - Distributed Acoustic Sensing) offers a very high sensitivity of around 1 picostrain/√Hz.

State-of-the-art sensitivity of the FEBUS A1 (DAS - Distributed Acoustic Sensing) for partial discharge detection

Our integrated software solution, FOGrid Suite, generates an alert when a partial discharge occurs. A real-time notification that precisely locates the event on a map is sent.

Maintenance operations are quickly triggered, allowing for localized intervention at the critical point. The duration, dedicated staff, and cost of these interventions are optimized.

OTHER FEBUS OPTICS CABLE MONITORING SOLUTIONS

FEBUS Optics offers a cable monitoring solution that combines the performance of its patented technologies with the experience and expertise of its teams.

Our FOGrid solution enables comprehensive, continuous and real-time monitoring of power cables, telecom cables and dynamic cables. FOGrid also ensures environmental monitoring and optimizes cable operation using our RTTR (Real-Time Thermal Rating) algorithm.

All our interrogators come with a 3-year warranty. Our experts provide training and support throughout projects. Finally, we offer customized maintenance contracts and continuity of services.
