The measurement engineer can view the values from tan δ and partial-discharge testing directly in the cable test van. Clear representation helps to detect severe defects or locate partial discharges ...

Testing medium-voltage (MV) cables with the high-potential (“hi-pot”) test is typically part of an MV cable testing program. In Parts 4 and 5, we looked at the DC and AC versions of this test. The ...

Based on their understanding of the importance of a healthy and reliable cable network, distribution system operators (DSOs) strive to meet two major objectives: minimize maintenance costs while ...

The IEEE recently approved IEEE 400.2, “Guide for Field Testing of Shielded power Cable Systems Using Very Low Frequency (VLF), a new standard that addresses concerns when field-testing shielded, ...
