HV Cable Testing

HV Cable Testing

On 19 November 2013 the Milan Vidmar Electric Power Research Institute performed the first test of a 110 kV cable with 128 kV high alternate testing voltage at RTP Podvelka. Tests were performed in accordance with IEC 60840:2011 section 16.3 standard. The cable connects the Gas Insulated Substation with 110 kV substation. Based on this successfully performed pilot test, cable testing with resonance method can be upgraded to the highest voltages area.
