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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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, ...
