Abstract: For cable testing and partial discharge (PD) diagnostics many different test voltage wave shapes and frequencies have been established over the past years. Their application is well proven ...

Abstract: This paper describes some critical issues arising during the partial discharge (PD) testing of a 500m delivery length of an XLPE-insulated MV cable. At first, conventional PD measurements ...

We hear it all the time — America’s electrical infrastructure is aging. Coupled with that reality, one of the issues that continues to surface around this ongoing discussion is knowing the reliability ...

According to the IEEE Buff Book, "A power cable must be protected from overheating due to excessive short-circuit current flowing in its conductor," which may damage or destroy the insulation. It also ...
