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!

I used to be an HVAC technician. One time I had a service call in which there was no power to the thermostat. The thermostat did not have power because the fuse in the air handler was blown. The fuse in the air handler was blown because there was a low voltage short. The rubber coating on one of the thermostat wires was chewed off by a rodent. The exposed metal in the thermostat wire was touching the metal cabinet of the air handler. This was a low voltage short. This low voltage...
Thread 'How Does Jaguar's 1980s V12 Dual Coil Ignition System Enhance Spark Strength?'
I have come across a dual coil ignition system as used by Jaguar on their V12 in the 1980's. It uses two ignition coils with their primary windings wired in parallel. The primary coil has its secondary winding wired to the distributor and then to the spark plugs as is standard practice. However, the auxiliary coil has it secondary winding output sealed off. The purpose of the system was to provide a stronger spark to the plugs, always a difficult task with the very short dwell time of a...
