Ultra-Low Frequency Dielectric Loss Tester – Reliable China Suppliers and Factory for Medium-Voltage Cable Testing

The Ultra-Low Frequency Dielectric Loss Tester is an essential tool for China suppliers and factories focused on testing medium-voltage cables. Complying with the European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization (CENELEC) harmonization documents HD 620 S1:1996 and HD 621 S1:1996, this tester delivers a 0.1Hz sine wave voltage of up to 24kV RMS. It is specifically designed to reliably detect insulation faults, particularly water tree damage, in polyethylene (PE), cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE), and paper-insulated cables, preventing flashover incidents, The testing procedure is safe for fault-free insulation and includes evaluations of dielectric breakdown strength using positive and negative DC voltages, as well as trapezoidal AC voltage. The rectangular wave voltage’s slew rate is automatically adjusted based on cable capacitance. An important feature is the additional leakage current measurement in DC mode, which facilitates the assessment of cable insulation quality, Moreover, the sine wave shape of the test voltage enables direct measurement of the cable’s dielectric loss factor, providing insight into the deterioration of the cable’s performance. For more detailed application information, please refer to the relevant manuals. Ensure your operations in China are supported by top-notch testing equipment from reputable suppliers and factories, like our Ultra-Low Frequency Dielectric Loss Tester
