Abstract
A method and a system is provided for inspecting surfaces and/or interfaces of high voltage and/or medium voltage cable components. The method includes capturing and storing a set of 3-dimensional, 3D, surface geometry measurement data of an area of interest of a surface of the cable or cable component by moving a 3D surface scanner about the cable over the area of interest. The captured 3D surface geometry measurement data are inspected to determine smoothness of the scanned surface, and the smoothness is compared with threshold data to provide a quality report for the scanned surface.
