Cable testing is a signifi cant investment with respect to electric power distribution. It should be expected for a cable system to have a high degree of reliability and reasonable life expectancy.

In order to guarantee optimum performance of the power cable system, standards and guidelines have been developed which address the specifi c testing requirements for service-aged extruded and laminated dielectric insulation.

We perform all our tests to the IEEE Standards to ensure the best product for our customers. Ask us about cable testing and the best solution for you. Cable failure through deterioration of electrical insulation can prove costly to your company and pose a potential health threat to your workers.

The major environmental and operating mechanisms, which cause insulation to deteriorate over its working life, include excessive voltage, overheating, internal arcing, material aging, moisture ingress, mechanical stress and physical damage.

The NPD team provides an effi cient cable testing service for our customers. The team has a broad experience in the generation, transmission, distribution and industrial fi elds.

Using the latest diagnostic techniques, we can determine the insulation condition and provide diagnostic reports on your cables.

At NPD we use the latest in offl inepartial discharge detecting technologyand specialise in 2 and 3 phase testingadhering to AS62271.201-2008.

With extensive knowledge of theAustralian Standards we consistentlymaintain a high level of accuracyand professionalism. Let us be thesolution to all your switchgear commissioning and maintenance needs.

Recent studies in the UK have suggested that up to 85% of all disruptive failures in HV insulation are related to partial discharge activity. It follows that partial discharge testing is now recognised as a vital test to determine the condition of

HV insulation and prevent eventual catastrophic failure.

We also offer:≥ AC leakage withstand testing≥ Insulation resistance (IR) testing ≥ Contact resistance testing

Tailored packages are available to suit.

HV Plant commission tested:≥ 11/33kV Circuit breakers and bus bars≥ 11/33kV Ring main units (RMUs)≥ 11/33kV Pole mounted reclosers (PMRs)≥ 11/33kV Capacitor banks≥ Cable commissioning≥ Transformer commissioning

PD/ DLA Commission and Maintenance Testing; Switchgear, Transformers & Cables.

At NPD we use the latest technology in online substation testing. Our technicians are trained and experienced in the latest technology for online substation testing to locate equipment fl aws, in particular partial discharge in HV apparatus.

The equipment used detects defects using TEV, ultrasonic, RF and infrared.

Various problems can be detected such as pending failures from bad connections and insulation degradation. Early detection can prevent loss of life, loss of supply and damage to equipment.

This type of testing is cost effective, un-intrusive, fast and can detect major problems before it is too late.
