On-site condition monitoring of HV power cables up to 150kV

For advanced, non-destructive on-site condition monitoring of HV power cables up to 150 kV by partial discharge detection and dielectric losses measurement it is necessary to energize the disconnected cable system. One of the methods available for this purpose is based on applying damped AC voltages up to 150 kV. In this contribution, the use of modern technological solutions in power electronics and signal processing as well as in technical design and production methods will be discussed on the basis of ultra light system which is able to on-site service aged HV cables.
