Length: 1500m
Localization: Moscow
History:
5 years after installation, unexpected random
breakdowns in all phases due to electrical treeing.
Investigation showed that cable samples taken from
deteriorated phases showed a symptom of water
treeing phenomenon and electrical treeing.
Last breakdown occurred in 2009. Cable was repaired
and tested with OWTS 150 HV before putting to
operation service.

Test Measurement procedure damped AC voltages
1. The test voltage is raised in steps of 10 kV and three excitations at each voltage level are
performed.
2. At the selected maximum voltage level voltage withstand test up to 1.7Uo is performed: 50
excitations (IEEE 400) or 1hrs (IEC 60840).
3. Final maximum test voltage depends on PDIV and PD magnitude at PDIV.
4. During the voltage test PD and the dielectric losses is measured.

IEEE HK Joint Chapter of PES/IAS/PELS/IES Seminar: Importance of On-site testing and Diagnosis of Transmission Power Cables
Conclusions
1.
Electrical testing on-site is an important step of quality insurance of new/repaired and service aged cable
systems.
2.
Enhanced voltage testing up to e.g. 2.5xU0 of defect-free /non aged insulation does not have destructive
influence on the service life of the component.
3.
Enhanced voltage testing up to e.g. 2.5xU0 of defective/aged insulation may have destructive influence on
the service life of the component. Even if no breakdown has occurred.
4.
The Utest/U0 ratio decreases for on-site testing of HV cables above 150kV and therefore it has to be
compensated by additional measures e.g. PD detection.
5.
Service aged HV power cables are important assets and there is an increasing need to obtain information
about actual condition by applying integral and defect related on-site diagnostics.
6.
Sinusoidal damped AC voltages (DAC) can be applied for voltage testing of power cables (up to 380kV
cable systems) in combination with diagnostic measurements.
7.
Partial discharges, dielectric losses diagnostic measurements at damped AC voltages can be used for nondestructive on-site testing and diagnosis of new and service aged power cables.
8.
Combining on-site testing with PD detection provides information about discharging insulation defects and
about the fact if the on-site test had a destructive impact on the insulation system.
9.
For HV and EHV power cables more attention is needed to implement on-site testing and diagnosis.
