commissioning

Prior to commissioning, the cable systems installed by us are tested, usually in accordance with the relevant test specifications for XLPE-insulated high-voltage and extra-high-voltage cables. This includes DC voltage tests on the cable sheath and/or AC voltage tests on the cable insulation, which are supplemented, if necessary, by partial discharge tests on the installed accessories, especially in the case of extra-high voltage installations.

Südkabel can generate voltages of up to 520 kV with its own on-site resonance test facility and thus test cable systems up to Um = 550 kV in compliance with international/national and customer specifications.
