Solving Underground Cable Problems with Partial Discharge Testing

How to prevent failure with partial discharge testing

BY HENNING OETJEN, Megger

Partial discharge (PD) measurements are increasingly used as a reliable and non-destructive diagnostic method to detect weak spots in the insulation of underground cables. Routinely, partial discharge measurements are utilized in laboratories for testing cable reels prior to commissioning and in the field to verify installation quality.

Typically, many factory-testing standards require that workers use a 50/60 hertz (Hz) high-voltage...
