Abstract

In addition to after-laying of new-installed high voltage (HV) power cables the use of on-site non-destructive on-site testing and diagnosis of service aged power cables is becoming an important issue to determine the actual condition of the cable systems and to determine the future performances. In this paper based on field experience an overview is presented on on-site testing and partial discharge diagnosis of HV power cables with regard to on-site testing methods: energizing, diagnostic aspects, possibilities and implications for new and service aged power cables.
