How to Verify Whether it is Actually a Bad Section
The HIPOT test within the context of Sectionalizing is done to confirm, that the
section of cable identified as bad during the Sectionalizing procedure can be
verified to be actually bad. Proceed as follows to perform a HIPOT test
after the
identified cable section has been isolated at the 2 closest transformers
:
Step Description
1
Select the
menu item from the main menu or from the
submenu (depends on the
system configuration).
2
Adjust the test voltage and select
to confirm the value.
3
Press the green illuminated “HV ON” button
.
4
Select
to start the test (only if
measurement start
option is set to
manual. See
“System Settings” on page 17).
Result:
The selected voltage is applied to the cable.
During the rise of the voltage the maximum current of the HVPS will be displayed till the
cable has been fully charged, at which time the current will drop down to the actual
leakage current level. The insulation resistance is displayed. This scenario is observed if
the cable has no insulation breakdown, otherwise the high voltage will be shut off when
the flashover/breakdown occurs.
Depending on whether or not a breakdown takes place during the test, one of the
following results is presented in the display:
Breakdown
at…kV
A voltage breakdown took place at the indicted test voltage.
No Flash-
over
The cable has successfully withstood the applied DC test voltage. If
possible, repeat (
) the test with higher voltage (do not exceed the
maximum permissible voltage).
Cable not
chargeable
The cable could not be charged by the test voltage. This is typically due to
a short (fault) in the cable.
Low
resistance
at …kV
The HV source cannot charge the cable beyond the indicated voltage value
due to the very high leakage current level.
