Cable Testing

Cables, High Voltage (HV)

• Qualification tests for high voltage power cables with extruded insulation, impregnated-paper-insulated low and medium or high-pressure fluid-filled cables as well as cable system components.
• Testing in accordance with AEIC, IEEE 48, IEEE 404, IEC 60840, IEC 620678, IEC 60141-1 and IEC 61442 standards.

Cables, Medium Voltage (MV)

• Diagnostic tests
  • Hipot (voltage withstand)
    • gross defects
• Partial Discharge (PD)
  • Deficiencies 
    • water tree immediately before failure
• Dissipation Factor (DF)
  • "water treeing" 
  • 60 to 0.1 Hz
• PD and DF
  • Several voltage levels (tip-up)

Cables, Low Voltage (LV)

• Non-destructive identification of cable types in the field
• Using micro samples of cables from the field, Kinectrics can:
  • Determine radiaition exposure level
  • Determine thermal exposure level
  • Predict remaining service life
