© 2011 SebaKMT – MADE in GERMANY 2
Recommendation for commissioning
testing of medium voltage cables.
Includes:
 Sheath testing
 Withstand testing
 PD testing
 The treatment recommendation was created by the same work group,
which was responsible for the development of the VDE Cable Data Base
 Members of this working group are specialists of
- 18 Power Utilities
- 4 Universities
- 4 Service providers for testing and diagnosis
- 1 Accessory manufacturer
- 1 Cable consulting company
- 4 Manufacturers of PD measuring systems
Note: VDE cable database is a web-based database where PD measurements are stored
and where also the PD affected accessories has been inspected. This get a better
knowledge about the type of faults and its remaining life time. (www.VDE-Kabeldatenbank.de)

 The experience of 20 years commissioning testing with 0.1 Hz VLF test
voltage indicate, that by a voltage test, only the very serious workmanship
failures are detected.
 There is a large variety of workmanship failures, which pass the com-
missioning tests, and fail only after several months or years of operation.
Target
 Fulfillment of the statutory requirements of the Operation Safety Act, the
BGV A3 and the VDE 0105 in respect to the commissioning test of newly
installed resp. modified electrical systems.
 Quality control of newly installed cables/ accessories by PD testing
 Gaining information for the condition assessment of cable systems

Cable withstand testing (aged/ in-service cables)

Experiences of 20 years commissioning tests with 0.1 Hz VLF test voltages
indicated that this reveals only the very serious workmanship failures. There
is a large variety of workmanship issues which pass the VLF commissioning
tests, and fail only after several months/ years of operation under load.
Field statistics on newly installed cables indicates that test failures appear
within 15 to 30 minutes of operation. Test durations of 60 minutes produced
no additional information or results. Therefore, a test duration of 30 minutes
is considered as sufficient.
A significant amount of the faults that are probably not detected during the
withstand tests can be detected and localized by an additional partial
discharge measurement.

PD Measurements for commissioning tests
PD measurements allows to check the cable installation quality as well
as the condition of the complete system installation. Potential fault
spots can be detected in an early stage, and an evaluation of the
system and a budgeting of the required investments can be made.
A fundamental rule is:
Partial discharges occurring at U0 indicates a high risk of operating.
PD measurement test systems with the following type of voltages are
commercially available:
 0.1 Hz VLF (VLF – Very Low Frequency)
 20 – 300 Hz AC (AC – Alternating Current)
100 – 500 Hz damped AC ( DAC – Damped AC)

PD Measurement for quality assurance on newly installed systems
Newly installed cable accessories are, with a correct installation, PD free up
to at least 1.7 U0.
Field experiences showed that some types of accessories require several
load changes resp. temperature cycles, before they are PD free. This has
to be considered during the evaluation, or the PD test has to be repeated
after some load cycles.
The voltage has to be increased in steps up to the maximum test voltage
level. Possible PD signal have to recorded.
The test voltage has to be present for a sufficient duration to enable a
reliable detection of fault spots and to confirm the dielectric strength.

PD Measurement for quality assurance on newly installed systems
For different voltage types, the following test procedure is recommended:
0,1 Hz VLF - Stepwise increase of the test voltage up to 2 U0
- 10 minutes stress duration @ 2 U0 to test the
dielectric strength and operational readiness
20 – 300 Hz - Stepwise increase of the test voltage up to 2 U0
- 5 minutes stress duration @ 2 U0 to test the
dielectric strength and operational readiness
100 – 500 Hz DAC - Stepwise increase of the test voltage up to 1.7 U0
- VWD (multiple test 50 cycles) @ 1.7 U0 to test the
dielectric strength and operational readiness

Test result Evaluation Recommendation
No detectable
PD
Test passed Requirement BNL < 100 pC (BNL = background noise level)
For cables with high attenuation (during calibration with 1000 pC, no end
reflection detectable) the PD measurement must be performed from
both ends.
Ui < Uo Test not passed Replacement of the affected accessories, new measurement on the new
installed accessory (confirmation of the PD fault spot only based on
visible installation errors, there are not PD tracks visible)
Entry into www.VDE-Kabeldatenbank.de)
For operational reasons, a temporary net operation after passed test
acc. to table 2 is permittable.
Ui between 1
and 1.7 Uo
Commissioning
of the cable
system possible,
but repeated
tests after 4 to 8
weeks
Result of the repeated measurement:
- If Ui  1.7 Uo the test is passed
- If Ui < 1.7 Uo the test is not passed
-Replacement of the affected accessories (visual inspection to identify
the installation errors and PD fault spots (Voids, de-lamination,
tracking/PD erosion) Entry into www.VDE-Kabeldatenbank.de)
In exceptional situations, at Ui between 1.2 and 1.7 Uo, the system can
be released for continuous operation. In this case annual repeated
measurements to control the stability of Ui have to be performed.

There is a large variety of workmanship issues which pass the VLF commissioning tests, and fail only after several months/ years of operation under load. Field statistics on newly installed cables indicates that test failures appear within 15 to 30 minutes of operation. Test durations of 60 minutes produced no additional information or results. Therefore, a test duration of 30 minutes is considered as sufficient. A significant amount of the faults that are probably not detected during the withstand tests can be detected and localized by an additional partial discharge measurement.

  • 9. PD Measurements for commissioning tests PD measurements allows to check the cable installation quality as well as the condition of the complete system installation. Potential fault spots can be detected in an early stage, and an evaluation of the system and a budgeting of the required investments can be made. A fundamental rule is: Partial discharges occurring at U0 indicates a high risk of operating. PD measurement test systems with the following type of voltages are commercially available:  0.1 Hz VLF (VLF – Very Low Frequency)  20 – 300 Hz AC (AC – Alternating Current) 100 – 500 Hz damped AC ( DAC – Damped AC) Contents Cable withstand testing (new cables) © 2012 SebaKMT – MADE in GERMANY 9
  • 10. PD Measurement for quality assurance on newly installed systems Newly installed cable accessories are, with a correct installation, PD free up to at least 1.7 U0. Field experiences showed that some types of accessories require several load changes resp. temperature cycles, before they are PD free. This has to be considered during the evaluation, or the PD test has to be repeated after some load cycles. The voltage has to be increased in steps up to the maximum test voltage level. Possible PD signal have to recorded. The test voltage has to be present for a sufficient duration to enable a reliable detection of fault spots and to confirm the dielectric strength.

PD Measurement for quality assurance on newly installed systems For different voltage types, the following test procedure is recommended: 0,1 Hz VLF - Stepwise increase of the test voltage up to 2 U0 - 10 minutes stress duration @ 2 U0 to test the dielectric strength and operational readiness 20 – 300 Hz - Stepwise increase of the test voltage up to 2 U0 - 5 minutes stress duration @ 2 U0 to test the dielectric strength and operational readiness 100 – 500 Hz DAC - Stepwise increase of the test voltage up to 1.7 U0 - VWD (multiple test 50 cycles) @ 1.7 U0 to test the dielectric strength and operational readiness Contents Cable withstand testing (new cables) © 2012 SebaKMT – MADE in GERMANY 11

Test result Evaluation Recommendation No detectable PD Test passed Requirement BNL < 100 pC (BNL = background noise level) For cables with high attenuation (during calibration with 1000 pC, no end reflection detectable) the PD measurement must be performed from both ends. Ui < Uo Test not passed Replacement of the affected accessories, new measurement on the new installed accessory (confirmation of the PD fault spot only based on visible installation errors, there are not PD tracks visible) Entry into www.VDE-Kabeldatenbank.de) For operational reasons, a temporary net operation after passed test acc. to table 2 is permittable. Ui between 1 and 1.7 Uo Commissioning of the cable system possible, but repeated tests after 4 to 8 weeks Result of the repeated measurement: - If Ui  1.7 Uo the test is passed - If Ui < 1.7 Uo the test is not passed -Replacement of the affected accessories (visual inspection to identify the installation errors and PD fault spots (Voids, de-lamination, tracking/PD erosion) Entry into www.VDE-Kabeldatenbank.de) In exceptional situations, at Ui between 1.2 and 1.7 Uo, the system can be released for continuous operation. In this case annual repeated measurements to control the stability of Ui have to be performed.
