tests

Conductor water penetration test LWPa

Metal sheath water penetration test LWPb

Radial water penetration test of joints RWP

LWPa - conductor

Water ingress in the conductor during a cable fault at the

deepest part

LWPb - metal sheath

Water ingress under the metal sheath (reference is made to lead) at the near shore area

where the water pressure does not increase the ability to stop water penetration ( 30 m water

head)

Test on new installations are made when the installation has been

completed

If the complete installed length is too long a reduced test voltage with a

longer duration may be agreed Alternatively a voltage of Uo may be

applied for 24 hours

Water propagation distance is not fixed

B127 recommendation lt 30 m

LWPa - conductor

Water ingress in the conductor during a cable fault at the

deepest part

LWPb - metal sheath

Water ingress under the metal sheath (reference is made to lead) at the near shore area

where the water pressure does not increase the ability to stop water penetration ( 30 m water

head)

Test on new installations are made when the installation has been

completed

If the complete installed length is too long a reduced test voltage with a

longer duration may be agreed Alternatively a voltage of Uo may be

applied for 24 hours

Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR) give a ldquofingerprintrdquo of the cable system

to be used if needed during the cable life

TenneT is de eerste grensoverschrijdende

elektriciteitstransporteur van Europa

Met 20000 kilometer aan hoogspannings-

verbindingen en 36 miljoen eindgebruikers

in Nederland en Duitsland behoren we tot

de top 5 elektriciteitstransporteurs van Europa

Onze focus is gericht op de ontwikkeling

van een Noordwest-Europese energiemarkt

en op de integratie van duurzame energie

Hz

IEC 62067 prescribes 20 Hz as lower frequency limit for AC resonant

tests IEC 600603 prescribes 10 Hz The new lower frequency limit in

TB490 is set to 10 Hz giving insignificant change in breakdown strength

but a 4 times higher load capacity
