Protection For Electrical Systems
The power to prevent and protect
The only solution in the world that can solve and prevent subsea electrical issues without the need for subsea intervention. Protect the health of your critical systems with Viper intelligence.
Advanced Subsea Techology
The world's only intervention-free subsea electrical solution
Every electrical network faces gradual insulation degradation, especially in harsh or subsea environments. Viper’s V-LIFE® technology provides a proactive solution—restoring electrical performance, improving insulation health, and protecting systems from water ingress and water treeing. It enables operators to extend asset life and maintain safe, reliable operation without costly intervention.
Patented Technology
Solution overview & technology Eeplained
V-LIFE is the world’s first and only technology capable of remotely improving the electrical integrity of subsea and sealed cable systems.. Activated through installed Viper cable monitoring hardware, it applies a unique conditioning process that removes conductive seawater ingress from insulation systems and restores resistance to safe, operable levels.
The alternative—waiting until failure occurs—often involves complex subsea intervention campaigns, spare part logistics, and extended downtime. By contrast, V-LIFE prevents failures from escalating, protects against future degradation, and buys valuable time for operators. This makes it an indispensable tool for safeguarding the reliability and safety of subsea assets.
Be V-LIFE Ready
Prevent and protect in practice
Electrical degradation is inevitable—but with V-LIFE, operators can prevent failures from causing production loss and protect against ongoing deterioration. Installing Viper monitoring hardware in advance ensures operators are always V-LIFE Ready—able to activate protection before faults impact production.
Connected systems enhance this further: through Viper’s data analytics platform, operators gain insight into degradation trends and can remotely trigger V-LIFE activation when required. This proactive approach reduces operational risk, supports predictive maintenance, and delivers confidence in system performance across the asset lifecycle.

Protection in Harsh Environments
Proven performance in critical industries
V-LIFE has been proven across the global subsea oil & gas industry—restoring integrity to thousands of kilometres of umbilicals and power cables, and preventing costly intervention campaigns. Its benefits are equally valuable in sectors such as marine, renewables, and industrial automation, where uptime and safety are critical.
As electrification advances across new industries, V-LIFE remains the only technology capable of remotely restoring, protecting, and prolonging the life of subsea electrical systems—helping operators stay connected, safe, and confident in their system’s integrity.

Case Study
Restoring subsea cable integrity without intervention
In a mature offshore field, declining cable integrity increased the risk of unplanned outages. By installing V-LIM across key control systems, the operator achieved continuous IR visibility, accurate trend analysis, and earlier detection of degradation. The upgrade reduced operational risk, improved energisation confidence, and enabled a shift from reactive repair to proactive, data-driven maintenance.
FAQs
Find answers to common questions about how Viper protects electrical systems from degradation and failure without costly intervention.
What problem does Protection for Electrical Systems address?
It addresses insulation degradation in sealed and subsea electrical systems, preventing faults caused by water ingress and insulation breakdown before they lead to failure.
How does Viper protect electrical systems without intervention?
Viper applies a remote conditioning process through installed monitoring hardware, restoring insulation resistance without subsea intervention or hardware replacement.
Do systems need to be prepared in advance?
Yes. Installing compatible monitoring hardware early ensures systems are V-LIFE Ready and able to activate protection when degradation is detected.
Is this solution only suitable for subsea environments?
While proven in subsea applications, the protection principles are equally relevant to other sealed or moisture-prone electrical systems.
How does this reduce operational risk?
By preventing degradation from escalating into failure, operators avoid costly interventions, unplanned downtime, and safety risks.
