Turn the 

ADJUST

 knob slowly until the voltage rises to the chosen value, press the 

PULSE 

button to ascertain whether the voltage is sufficient to break-down the fault. If the fault 
does not break-down, raise the voltage further and repeat the process until break-down 
occurs. 

viii.

 

When the break-down voltage has been found, press the 

PULSE

 button again and check 

the waveform on the T-906, which should allow the fault position to be identified.  

ix.

 

Once the process is completed, discharge the cable and surge generator manually using 
the discharge rod (see section 5.1 Using the discharge rod).

 

6.4

 

Secondary/Multiple Impulse Method (SIM/MIM)  

The T-906 should be connected to the internal SIM filter of the T-305E through the  
TRIGGER/SIGNAL port using the Lemo cable supplied.  

Operational procedure: 

 

i.

 

Turn the 

MODE 

knob to the 

PULSE

 position. 

ii.

 

Turn the 

TEST METHOD

 to

 SIM

.  

iii.

 

Select a suitable capacitor bank setting. 

iv.

 

Power on the T-305E, the green 

STOP

 button lights up. 

v.

 

Turn the voltage 

ADJUST

 knob to the zero position, which enables the 

START

 button. 

vi.

 

Press the 

START

 button, which then lights-up and the green 

STOP

 light turns off. Inside 

the instrument, the noise of the HV protective device can be heard 

vii.

 

Turn the 

ADJUST

 knob slowly until the voltage rises to the chosen value, press the 

PULSE 

button to ascertain whether the voltage is sufficient to break-down the fault. If the fault 
does not break-down, raising the voltage further and repeat the process until break-
down occurs. 

viii.

 

When the break-down voltage has been found, press the 

PULSE

 button again and check 

the waveform on the T-906, which should allow the fault position to be identified.  

ix.

 

Once the process is completed, discharge the cable and surge generator manually using 
the discharge rod (see section 5.1 Using the discharge rod) 

7.

 

DC Voltage Withstand Test 

For power cables rated at 6kV or below, after the fault has been repaired, the T-305E can be 
used to perform a DC voltage withstand test.  

7.1

 

Cable Connection 

Before commencing the test, disconnect the faulty cable and ground the metal sheath. 

Note: This is the Working Ground, the zero-volt reference point during the discharging 
process. 

7.2

 

Performing the Test 

Because the remaining charge on the cable may be significant, it should be thoroughly 
discharged before the test. As a guide, it usually needs 5 minutes for the discharge process 
(see section 5.1 Using the discharge rod).
