Medium Voltage Cable Cable sheat integrity test

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the need for a test procedure for cable sheath integrity testing of medium voltage cables according to the IEC 60229 standard. Participants clarify that free legal PDFs of IEC standards are not available, as these documents are copyrighted and must be purchased. Additionally, there is confusion regarding the differences between insulation testing (or megger testing) and cable sheath integrity testing with absorption index, particularly for 15kV medium voltage cables. The inquiry seeks to understand the specific applications and setups for each test type. Overall, the thread emphasizes the importance of obtaining proper documentation and understanding testing methodologies for medium voltage cables.

Can sombebody help me where i can get the test procedure for cable sheat integrity test for medium voltage cable, as per IEC 60229 STANDARD?.
and does anyone knows where i can get the free pdf of IEC 229?..

PLS . i need some help.

thanks!

I do not think there is a free (legal) PDF version. Those are copyrighted documents, and they are for sale through a number of outlets. Just buy them and that will show you the test procedure(s).

thats why i had some trouble of finding free PDF version of IEC Standard.

anyway, may i ask one more thing.

what is the difference between "INSULATION TEST OR MEGGER TESTING" From "CABLE SHEAT INTEGRITY TEST W/ ABSORPTION INDEX" ? for Medium Voltage cable of 15KV?.. coz I am quite having some confuse with these two. but i find them exactly similar in terms of measurement of variable.
Is there any difference from Test Setup?.. when to use insulation test?, and when to use cable sheat integrity test?.. and to what cable does this type of test applies?.. medium voltage only?..

any inputs will be appreciated.

many thanks!

Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'
I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...
Hello dear reader, a brief introduction: Some 4 years ago someone started developing health related issues, apparently due to exposure to RF & ELF related frequencies and/or fields (Magnetic). This is currently becoming known as EHS. (Electromagnetic hypersensitivity is a claimed sensitivity to electromagnetic fields, to which adverse symptoms are attributed.) She experiences a deep burning sensation throughout her entire body, leaving her in pain and exhausted after a pulse has occurred...
