Safety with The VLF Cable Hipot Test

Image
 The integrity and insulation capacities of high-voltage cables are evaluated using the VLF Cable Hipot Test , commonly known as the VLF withstand test. The main goal of this test is to ensure that the cable insulation can safely function under typical operating conditions and sustain the prescribed voltage levels. On the other hand, In order to ascertain if a cable can tolerate high voltage levels without experiencing insulation breakdown or failure, the cable dielectric withstand test, also known as Cable dielectric withstand TEST or simply the hipot test, is carried out. To assure the electrical safety and integrity of power cables, including medium-voltage and high-voltage cables, this test is frequently carried out. The key objectives of hipot test: Integrity of Insulation: High-voltage cables' integrity and insulation quality are assessed during the test. It examines the insulation for any potential flaws that might jeopardise its performance and security. Electrical Resis
