Medium voltage cables are a vital component of your facility’s electrical power distribution system. Even though the service life is expected to be long and generally highly reliable, your medium voltage cables can and do suffer from deterioration, defects, and faults which can eventually result in a complete breakdown and cable failure.
Withstand tests are intended to stress the cable’s insulation and cause the cable system to fail at defects or areas of significant deterioration that could likely cause the cable to fail in the near future during normal operation.
Diagnostic tests produce quantitative and trending data without causing failure or damage.
