    VLF tests, Course description

    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.
