IEEE P400.3 – IEEE Draft Guide for Partial Discharge Field Diagnostic Testing of Shielded Power Cable Systems
Revision Standard – Active – Draft.This guide covers the diagnostic testing of new or service-aged, installed shielded power cable systems, which include cable, joints, and terminations, using electrical partial discharge (PD) detection, measurement, and location. Partial discharge testing, which is a useful indicator of insulation degradation, may be carried out on-line or by means of an external voltage source. This guide does not cover the testing of compressed gas insulated cable or termination systems.
