Frequently asked questions

Why is cable identification important?

Cutting or spiking the wrong cable is a serious safety hazard and can shut down adjacent services. Cable identification gives a positive confirmation before any intrusive work.

Can you identify cables that are still live?

Yes — we use receivers that detect the live current signature to trace energised cables without isolation.

Do you trace de-energised cables too?

Yes — for isolated cables we inject a signal at one end and trace it to the working position.

Do you work on HV cables?

Yes. We identify both HV and LV cables on Singapore commercial and industrial sites.
