KV HIGH VOLTA
Low and high voltage cable test sets are for newly installed cables prior to energisation, disconnected cables and for preventative
checks following cable jointing and cable repair.
High voltage cable test sets enable the assesment of the condition and strength of high voltage cable installations.
SEBA KMT VLF cable testing sets identify weak or critical spots in low and high voltage cable systems including PVC, PE,
XLPE, PILC - voltages classes cover 3.3kV, 6.6kV, 11kV, 20kV and 33kV.
Quick and reliable high voltage cable testing after installing, cable jointing or repairing cables is vital for reliable electricity
distribution. Reconnecting the voltage without cable testing is a risk - a typically applied method is a five or ten minute DC cable test
in the operating voltage range. Either simple DC testers or insulation testers are used - however with maximum voltages of 10kV DC
cable testers seldom meet the operating voltage range.
It is an accepted fact that particularly for XLPE cables testing with DC voltage is useless. Furthermore, if the high voltage cables
are old it can even cause additional ageing or cable damage due to polarisation effects. DC voltage tests can only reveal the most
serious problems. Hidden problems cannot be detected leading to cable breakdowns during operation following the test.
