Description
Viola / Viola TD
VLF testers and diagnostics devices
New generation in the condition evaluation of cable systems
↗ Cable testing and dissipation factor measurement in one device
↗ Easy and quick test assembly
↗ Automatic testing and diagnostic sequences
↗ High performance and compact
The portable viola and viola TD devices are used for
– Cable testing
– Cable sheath testing
– Cable diagnostics (viola TD):
– Dissipation factor measurement
– Monitored Withstand Test with dissipation factor measurement
– Partial discharge measurement*
The VLF testing makes it possible to locate insulation faults in plastic- and paper insulated mass-impregnated cables in the shortest of testing times without impairing the quality of the surrounding insulating material. The dissipation factor measurement with 0.1 Hz VLF truesinus® provides differentiated information on the ageing condition of paper-insulated massimpregnated and PE/XLPE cables. In the case of PE/XLPE cables, the dissipation factor measurement is capable of differentiating between new, slightly or severely “water tree”-damaged cables. This makes it possible to prioritise the need to replace cables. The Monitored Withstand Test with dissipation factor measurement combines the cable testing and dissipation factor measurement, allowing an accurate and comprehensive assessment of the cable condition. In addition, there is minimum load on the cable due to the optimised test duration.
