I recently encountered intermittent faults in an underground line that seemed to crop up after heavy rains. After inspecting, I found that water was pooling near the splice points. It got me wondering, what’s your go-to method for troubleshooting these tricky situations? Any specific tools or techniques that have proven effective for you?
Pooling water can really throw a wrench in the works! I’ve found running a moisture meter along the splice locations after heavy rains helps pinpoint where the issues are lurking. Ever tried that?
Moisture meters are great! I also like using thermal cameras to check for hotspots. Have you tried that? @shelby_lee02.
I’ve had good luck using a simple resistance tester at splice points after the rain to catch any issues early. It can help confirm if moisture is affecting conductivity. Have you thought about checking those resistance values closely?
