1.0 Purpose

The Objective is to carry out Non-Destructive Testing such as the Insulation
Resistance, TDR and Tan Delta Measurement as Diagnostic Test to assess overall
health of existing Low Voltage Power Cables. The insulation of the power cable over a
period of time deteriorates due to external and internal factors. This reduces the
reliability of the cable.

This document describes the method of above mentioned Measurement and the way to
interpret the results and give recommendations.

2.0 Scope

The scope of this document is to define the procedures for Insulation Resistance, TDR

5.0 Work Methodology

5.1 Insulation Resistance Measurement
Prior and after the high voltage withstand test or Tan Delta Measurement; the
cable shall be tested for Insulation Resistance (IR).
For insulation testing, we need to disconnect Cables from panel or equipment
and keep them isolated from power supply.
The cable screen/armour should be earthed during the above measurement.
Cables shall be tested for insulation resistance with an insulation tester (i.e.
Megger) at 500 Volts for 1 minute.
The minimum insulation resistance to earth or between phases shall be 100
meg-ohms.

5.2 Tan Delta Meas!e"ent #$ LV %#&e! Ca'le

Tan Delta value of the insulation of the cable is a very good indicator of the
health conditions of the cable. The test is a non destructive diagnostic test
using voltage levels up to 1.5 times the conductor to ground voltage". This is
because of the fact that there would less numbers of voltage cycles per time unit.
Normally as per the maintenance practice and recommendations, 1.5 times of Uo
value is to be applied between Phase and Ground.



The Tan measurement has to be made by using Very Low Frequency source at
0.1Hz. Using a VLF AC Hipot, the test voltage is applied to the cable (Phase to
Earth) while the tan delta controller takes measurements. Typically, the applied
test voltage is raised in steps, if the Tan numbers indicate good cable insulation;
the test voltage is raised up to 0.5 to 1.5Uo.

For enhanced results to have a standard or previous test to compare for trending
purposes, Phase to Phase Comparisons or Comparison with Previous reports. The
very first test on a cable yields valuable information about the insulation. Also,
most Tan testing is performed on a comparative basis.

In the absence of existing Ras Gas Cable Test Report /Results all values found
during Testing shall be compare to previous Test results performed by AYT with
same condition of existing Cables (Age of Cables, Cable Size, Manufacturer if
possible, etc).
More on that in the next section, if a cables insulation is perfect then the loss
factor (Tan) will not change as the applied voltage is increased. The capacitance
and loss will be similar with 0.5Uo to 1.5Uo applied to the cable.
If the cable has water tree, contamination, thus changing the capacitive/resistive
nature of the insulation, then the Tan numbers will be higher at higher voltages.
Rather than a flat curve for the loss number versus voltage, the curve will be non
linear. See the below graph,

Test Setup and Connection Diagram:
The below is the Test setup for VLF Tan Measurement with VLF. Follow the
instruction given in the manual of the equipments;

5.3 Time Domain Reflectometer
The TDR method is the most established and widely used measuring method for
determination of
The total length of a cable
The location of low resistive cable faults
The location of cable interruptions
The location of joints along the cable
The Time Domain Reflectometer sends a low voltage impulse into the cable
under test. The low voltage impulse (max. 160V) travels through the cable and is
reflected positively at the cable end or at any cable interruption (cable cut). At a
short circuit point this low voltage impulse is reflected negatively.



The Time Domain Reflectometer is measuring the time between release and
return of the low voltage impulse. A change of the impedance in the cable, e.g. a
joint, will be displayed as a laid S. The relevant distances are shown by automatic
cursor settings to the significant locations in the graph.
