VLF tests (Very Low Frequencies) are described with necessary theory and practical needs for carrying out a test. The choice of a VLF generator is selected, cable length and voltage level, as well as calculation of cable load. Practical preparations with safety, procedure and equipment are explained. Cable standards, test voltages and test time are revealed. The course is aimed for staff performing VLF tests as well as consultants.
VLF Cable Testing
VLF testing is widely used for testing HV cables. Many projects require a VLF test. Different requirements can be set for test voltage and test time. Throughout this course, needs and practicalities are discussed, including safety.

Theory, safety and practical VLF testing
From the very basics of VLF testing to selecting VLF generators, the course covers it all. Input for documentation is provided via a procedure as input to RAMS and HSE.
