Applications
The HVA28TD VLF Test Set by B2 Electronics is designed for precision testing in a variety of settings, ensuring the health and reliability of medium-voltage cables. Its applications include:
- Cable testing in power utilities — Essential for routine testing and maintenance of underground cables, the HVA28TD for hire helps in detecting insulation weaknesses before they lead to failures, ensuring continuous power supply. It’s used for testing medium and high-voltage cables in residential areas, industrial plants and distribution networks.
- Installation testing for new cable systems — After laying new cable lines, the HVA28TD is used to perform acceptance testing to verify the integrity of cable insulation. This ensures that newly installed cables meet the required specifications and are safe for operational use.
- Preventive maintenance — In terms of preventive maintenance, the HVA28TD uses Tangent Delta diagnostics to identify potential issues in ageing cable systems, such as moisture ingress or insulation degradation. This allows for timely repairs, reducing downtime and extending the lifespan of the cable network.
- Substation equipment testing — Beyond cables, the HVA28TD can test substation equipment like transformers, switchgear and bushings. This ensures that all components of the power distribution network are in optimal working condition, enhancing system reliability.
- Renewable energy sector — As renewable energy sources like wind and solar farms are connected to the grid, the HVA28TD tests the cables and equipment used in these installations. This ensures that the integration of renewable energy sources does not compromise the grid’s integrity.
