Dynamic Instruments – Kusile Power Station 

What a positive start to the new year. We started this year with a splicing project.

This project required us to splice and test more than 700 splices at Kusile power station.

The splicing and testing was done at 6 different sub stations at Kusile

The Kusile power station project, which is located near the existing Kendal power station, in the Nkangala district of Mpumalanga, will comprise six units, each rated at an 800 MW installed capacity for a total capacity of 4 800 MW. Once completed, Kusile will be the fourth-largest coal-fired power station in the world.

 

 

 

Eskom – Matimba Power Station

Fibre installation, For this project we at OFT were required to install 750m Optic Fibre cable ,splice and test the cable.

The cable was successfully installed, spliced and tested.

All testing of cable is done with an optical time-domain reflectometer (OTDR).

An optical time-domain reflectometer (OTDR) is an optoelectronic instrument used to characterize an optical fibre. An OTDR is the optical equivalent of an electronic time domain reflectometer.
