Jun 24, · The VLFCM hipot test set provides true sine wave AC output voltage for the test of 15 kV Class high voltage cables ( uF (up to ft.)) and other capacitive loads. . VLF cable testing – a field proven method. VLF (Very Low Frequency) was introduced to test the insulation of Medium Voltage (MV) underground cables after new installations, after repairs or . Learn how to perform withstand testing on all three phases of a cable system at the same time using a VLF test set. Find out the load capacitance rating, the jumper cable connection, and the safety precautions for this method. Summary: To avoid in-service failures following VLF testing, a proper VLF test must be performed. The test voltage must be high enough and for a long enough time for the instrument to do its job of growing major defects to failure. Test at 2 - 3Vo for 30+ minutes. If a failure occurs, repair the cable and re-test for the full duration. VLF cable testing – a field proven method. VLF (Very Low Frequency) was introduced to test the insulation of Medium Voltage (MV) underground cables after new installations, after repairs or as a routine measure at regular intervals. Tables are included as an aid to identifying the effectiveness of the VLF ac voltage test for various cable system insulation problems. VLF ac voltage testing methods utilize ac signals at frequencies in the range of Hz to 1 Hz. The most commonly used, commercially available VLF ac voltage test frequency is Hz. VLF ac test voltages with cosine-rectangular and the sinusoidal wave shapes are most commonly used. Jun 24, · The VLFCM hipot test set provides true sine wave AC output voltage for the test of 15 kV Class high voltage cables ( uF (up to ft.)) and other capacitive loads. Standard features of the VLFCM AC Hipot.
