cable
diagnostics are
the most
advanced ‘tool’
in the ‘toolbox’
of shielded
power cable
tests. One of
the most common
questions
regarding cable
testing tools is
how the test
will predict the
remaining life
of the cable.

intention of

note is to
compare in
an objective
way the 3
major
categories
of cable
tests: high
potential
withstand,
general

and partial

(PD), so
that
engineers
can quickly
determine
the test
method best
suited for
their
application
and to
compare all
the tests to
the IMCORP
diagnostic
test (PD and
Tangent
Delta). Each
of the three
categories
is discussed
in light of
recently
published
IEEE
standard
recommendations
and IMCORP
field
experience.
Although
these tests
