This document provides testing procedures for cable pull-out tests of electrical connectors. It describes:
1. The test aims to determine the axial tensile load that can be applied to a mated connector pair without detrimental effects to the cable or connectors.
2. Test resources and equipment required include an apparatus to gradually apply axial loads and measure force, and a continuity detector.
3. Test specimens are connectors with cable clamps and cables, prepared by securely attaching the cable or with optional termination and marking.
4. Test procedures describe applying specified tensile loads for an hour to specimens both with and without termination, and potential failure modes.
High Voltage On-Site Testing with Partial Discharge Measurement (Cigre 502)AHMED MOHAMED HEGAB
During the life cycle of high voltage (HV) apparatus or systems many tests and measurements are performed to characterize the insulation condition. The results of these tests and
measurements should be compiled in a “life data record”, which supplies information on trends of diagnostic indicator values. The HV on-site test with partial discharge (PD) measurement has an intermediate position between routine tests and in-service monitoring measurements (on-line or offline)
This presentation is an overview of the ANSI C12 Standards that pertain to electric metering. This presentation was given at the PREA Meter School. 03/10/20.
Guidelines for Unconventional Partial Discharge Measurement (CIGRE 444)AHMED MOHAMED HEGAB
Several non-conventional PD detection methods based on acoustic and electromagnetic phenomenon have been used for some time for PD detection on power cables, transformers, GIS and generators. Up to now there have not been accepted procedures and guidelines for “non-conventional methods” compared to conventional methods. There are many open questions including: calibration or sensitivity verification procedures, techniques for noise suppression, methods of
fault location, and energy equivalency, among others. The authors of this guide believe that now is the time to prepare guidelines and international recommendations for these non-conventional PD detection methods in order to ensure reproducible and comparative PD measurements on high voltage equipment between users.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.
