HVT will be exhibiting at the 2018 IEEE PES Transmission & Distribution Show in Denver, CO from April 17-19.
Come by Booth #2821 to talk to us and see the following equipment we will be displaying:
- Syscompact 2000 Portable Cable fault locator
- Frida TD High voltage VLF tester with integrated tan delta measuring function
- DPA 75 C Portable oil breakdown tester up to 75 kV
- Easy Tan Delta Versatile capacitance and tan delta tester
- WM3000U Instrument voltage transformer measuring bridge
On Wednesday April 18, we will also be taking part in the Poster Session in the Mile High Ballroom from 5:00 to 7:00 pm.
The paper Titled “Simultaneous Partial Discharge and Tan Delta Measurements: New Technology in Cable Diagnostics” will be presented by Dominique Bolliger.
Abstract: In this paper, a focus was placed on the ability to decrease the amount of testing time while monitoring tan delta and PD simultaneously. Healthy and unaged cables do not need to be subjected to unnecessary stresses if no clear abnormalities are detected in diagnostic values. A case study was presented and able to show that testing time and costs can also be reduced for severely aged cable systems. New technology on the market allowing for the simultaneous monitoring of tan delta and partial discharge during monitored withstand testing gives utilities and test personnel time-efficient and cost-optimized testing solutions for new and service-aged cables. The result is a significant reduction in testing time and the ability to realize condition-based and cost-optimized maintenance plans.
See you in Denver!!
