Damped AC Cable Test and Diagnostic System MV DAC-30

Adiradh offers the Damped AC Cable Test and Diagnostic System MV DAC-30 for testing and diagnosing medium voltage power cables. Moreover, the system uses Damped AC voltage to detect, assess, and locate partial discharge faults in cable insulation and accessories. In addition, it provides a peak test voltage of 30 kV for MV cable testing. Therefore, it supports quality checks on newly installed cables as well as condition checks on aged cable circuits. Also, the DAC test frequency is close to normal AC service conditions. Consequently, partial discharge activity can be assessed under conditions that relate closely to cable operation. Furthermore, the system measures PD inception and extinction voltage. In addition, live PD mapping helps users locate discharge activity along the cable. Therefore, maintenance teams gain useful data for cable condition assessment. Finally, the modular design, automatic calibration, cable database, and reporting tools support efficient field testing and cable maintenance.

Overview

The Damped AC Cable Test and Diagnostic System MV DAC-30 is designed for testing and condition assessment of medium voltage power cables. Moreover, it generates a Damped AC test voltage with a peak value of 30 kV. Therefore, the system can be used for quality control on new cable installations and condition checks on cables already in service. In addition, it detects, assesses, and locates partial discharge activity in cable insulation and accessories.

Furthermore, partial discharge can indicate weak areas within a cable system. Therefore, locating PD activity helps maintenance teams identify areas that may require further action. Also, the DAC frequency is close to normal AC operating conditions. Consequently, test results provide useful data for cable condition assessment. In addition, the system includes separate control and high-voltage units for field use. Finally, automatic calibration, live PD mapping, a cable database, and report tools simplify the complete cable test process.

About Product

The Damped AC Cable Test and Diagnostic System MV DAC-30 applies Damped AC (DAC) voltage for medium voltage cable testing and partial discharge diagnostics. Moreover, the system provides a maximum test voltage of 30 kV peak. In addition, the DAC test frequency is close to normal AC service conditions. Therefore, partial discharge (PD) behaviour can be assessed under suitable electrical stress.

Furthermore, the decaying test voltage enables measurement of Partial Discharge Inception Voltage (PDIV) and Partial Discharge Extinction Voltage (PDEV). Also, the high-voltage unit combines the HV voltage source and an internal PD detector. Consequently, the cable under test remains the accessible live part during testing. In addition, the operating software provides automatic calibration, an integrated cable database, and live PD mapping. Therefore, users can detect and locate PD activity during measurement. Finally, built-in reporting tools support cable test records and condition assessment.

Technology & Benefits

The MV DAC-30 uses Damped AC technology to test medium voltage cable systems. Moreover, the test frequency is close to normal AC service conditions. Therefore, users can assess partial discharge behaviour under suitable test conditions. In addition, the decaying test voltage helps determine PD inception and extinction values. Consequently, technicians receive useful information about cable insulation condition.

Furthermore, live PD mapping displays partial discharge activity during the test. Therefore, users can identify the location of PD faults along the cable system. Also, automatic calibration helps reduce test setup work. In addition, the integrated cable database supports organized test records. Consequently, cable testing and data handling become easier.

Furthermore, the control and HV sections are separate for easier field transport. Also, the HV unit can be divided for handling. Therefore, the system is practical for field cable testing. Finally, the internal PD detector and enclosed design support controlled test operation.
