Insulation failure is a leading cause of electrical fires and system downtime, often occurring silently before any visible ...

Testing insulation is an important way to qualify a new installation. Testing also protects and prolongs the life of electrical systems and motors. Over the years, electrical systems are exposed to ...

The new dual-purpose instrument combines high-voltage insulation testing up to 20 GΩ with comprehensive electrical measurement capabilities for field electricians.

A new hyper-scale data center was built in rural New Jersey that’s served by more than 100 25kV cables. Six months into operation, a cable termination failed catastrophically, and the forensic ...

The measurement engineer can view the values from tan δ and partial-discharge testing directly in the cable test van. Clear representation helps to detect severe defects or locate partial discharges ...

Hipot testers are used to measure the leakage current and insulation resistance between all components and connections, verify solid ground connections, and test ground bonds. These tests include the ...

Complex grids depend on equipment such as transformers, protection relays, switchgear, and cables—each of which can develop faults not immediately visible during normal operation. As a result, ...

09 June 2015 The British Approvals Service for Cables (BASEC) has announced it will now provide low and medium voltage cable testing to all International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) cable ...

Salar de Uyuni is the world’s largest salt flat, located at an elevation of 3700 m (12,140 ft) above sea level. This is also one of the largest lithium reserves in the world and presents very harsh ...

An AC resonant test system is designed to generate high alternating voltage by forming a resonant circuit between the reactor and the test object. By operating at or near resonance, the system can ...
