Equipment Introduction



It is composed of a variable frequency power supply, excitation transformer, high-voltage reactor, and capacitive voltage divider. The capacitance of the test object and the reactor form a series resonance connection; the voltage divider is connected in parallel with the test object to measure the resonance voltage on the test object and serve as an overvoltage protection signal; the frequency-modulated power output is coupled to the series resonance circuit through the excitation transformer, providing the excitation power for series resonance. Shanghai Dafan specializes in R&D and production, adopting a component-based design that greatly reduces labor intensity.

Current Situation Analysis



Why do relevant domestic and foreign departments widely recommend replacing DC withstand voltage with AC withstand voltage? With the development of the national economy and the increase in the voltage level of urban power supply, cross-linked polyethylene insulated power cables (XLPE) have gained increasingly widespread use both domestically and internationally due to their reasonable process and structure, excellent electrical performance, and safe and reliable operation characteristics. Especially in the field of high-voltage power transmission, significant progress has been made. Compared with oil-filled cables, cross-linked cables are easier to lay and install, simpler to operate and maintain, and do not have the problem of oil leakage. However, recent operation and research have shown that the insulation of cross-linked polyethylene cables is prone to treeing discharge during operation, causing insulation aging and damage, which seriously affects the service life of cross-linked polyethylene insulated power cables. Therefore, fully understanding the insulation characteristics of cross-linked cables and timely and effectively detecting and preventing certain defects in the insulation are of great significance for ensuring the safe operation of equipment and even the entire system. This article elaborates on the main factors affecting the insulation of cross-linked cables and the principle of cable handover tests, and believes that implementing AC withstand voltage tests on cross-linked cables on site is necessary and feasible. To ensure the safe and reliable operation of cables, relevant international standards have clearly stipulated various tests for cables. The main test items include: measuring insulation resistance, DC withstand voltage, and leakage current. Among them, measuring insulation resistance is mainly to check whether the cable insulation is aged, damp, or has insulation defects exposed during the withstand voltage test. The DC withstand voltage and leakage current tests are carried out simultaneously, with the purpose of detecting defects in the insulation. However, in recent years, domestic and foreign test and operation experience has proven that DC withstand voltage tests cannot effectively detect insulation defects in cross-linked cables and may even cause insulation hazards. In Germany, Sechiswag Company conducted tests on 41 circuits of 10 kV XLPE cables from 1978 to 1980, with 87 failures; in Sweden, more than 9,000 km of 3 kV to 24.5 kV XLPE cables were put into operation, with 107 failures. Domestically, cable accidents have also occurred multiple times, and a considerable number of cable faults are caused by the negative effects of frequent DC withstand voltage tests. Therefore, relevant domestic and foreign departments widely recommend replacing traditional DC withstand voltage with AC withstand voltage. From the 1980s to the mid-1990s, advanced countries such as Canada, Germany, and the United States formulated corresponding AC withstand voltage test standards and promoted their application. Since the late 1990s, regions in China such as Guangdong, Beijing, Shanghai, Zhejiang, and Shandong have issued interim regulations for AC testing of XLPE cables. The national standard GB50150-2006 "Standard for Handover Test of Electrical Equipment Installation Engineering" promotes
