HVA 60 4 in 1 Universal High Voltage Test System

 
Find Weak Cables Without Making Cables Weak
Technical Data Sheet

Operational Features
  • The smallest, lightest, most advanced universal high voltage test instrument available, ideally suited for a variety of applications.

  • VLF (0.1Hz), DC (±), Cable Fault Conditioning (Burning), and Sheath/Jacket Testing modes all included.

  • VLF: the proven and accepted replacement for the traditional DC Hipot or “proof” test for solid dielectric cables such as XLPE and EPR.

  • Fully Automatic or manual cable test sequences complying with International Standards/Guides such as IEEE 400.2, VDE 0296, CENELEC, etc.

  • Meets all your cable testing requirements.

  • True Symmetrical Sinusoidal, load independent, output waveform across the full load range.

  • Real-time Display of actual output waveform.

  • Easy to use, ergonomic, menu guided, large backlit user interface.

Design
The HVA60 is not only the most advanced HV test system available, it is also the lightest, most compact instrument of its type on the market. The HVA60 has the highest power to weight ratio of any comparable unit available.
There is no need to carry two pieces of equipment around and then interconnect them!
Apart from the variable frequency VLF output, the operator can also select dual polarity DC and cable jacket or sheath testing outputs modes.
The applied test voltage, current, capacitance, resistance and time are displayed and recorded.
The instrument is easily programmable allowing the operator to setup or select test sequences in either automatic or manual mode.
The HVA60 is capable of testing 1µF (Approx. 10,000 ft/ 3000m of cable) at 0.1Hz and 60kV peak. The frequency of the output can also be reduced allowing even larger capacitance loads to be tested. At 0.02Hz, approx. 50,000 ft/15,000m of cable can be tested.
To assist the operator, the instrument will automatically calculate the optimum frequency to be selected for larger loads.
The load independent, symmetrical output waveform avoids the potentially destructive space charge effects caused by DC polarization that occurs in aged extruded cables such as XLPE / PE / EPR, causing them to fail prematurely when exposed to conventional high voltage DC or to test instruments with large non-symmetrical output waveforms.
Should a breakdown occur during testing, the actual voltage at which it occurred is displayed and recorded. If cable burning (fault conditioning) mode is activated, the fault resistance can be conditioned to allow easier and less stressful fault location techniques to be applied.
Test results are stored in the instrument’s onboard memory allowing easy retrieval and download to a PC/Laptop for review and analysis.
