Portable VLF cable test set with 0.1 Hz - technology

The portable cable test set KPG 40kV VLF is used for testing of medium voltage cables in accordance to the
standards CENELEC HD 620 & 621, DIN VDE 0276/620 & 621 and IEEE 400.
The test is carried out with a low strain practice with VLF (very low frequency) test voltage of preferably 0.1Hz.
VLF Test enables detection of damages of the insulation within shortest test time. The KPG 40kV VLF can test
cables with extruded insulation (XLPE-, PE-, EPR-insulation) as well as cables with paper-oil insulation (PILC).
Cable sheath testing with direct voltage is also possible.
