HVA68TD

VLF/DC Hipot Tester with Integrated Tan Delta

The HVA68TD is a truly compact and portable VLF test set that determines the condition of medium voltage cables with a voltage rating up to 46 kV (acc. to IEEE 400.2). It performs VLF and DC testing, as well as sheath testing and sheath fault location (additional fault probe needed).

The high output power of the HVA greatly expands the load possibilities. It allows testing longer cables or several phases in parallel. The integrated Tan Delta diagnostics enables a straightforward condition assessment of the cable system.

Performance: Best in class output power combined with outstanding TD diagnostics features. Safety first: Two independent discharge devices (electronic & mechanical) plus an integrated 12 kV backfeed protection system (at 50/60 Hz).

MWT: The HVA68TD offers Monitored Withstand Testing, a combination of withstand testing & Tan Delta diagnostics in compliance with IEEE 400.2.

Connectivity: On-site, no external PC is needed. All results can be downloaded later via USB or Bluetooth for further investigation and easy reporting with the HVA ControlCenter.

Flexible high voltage connection options: Our HV test leads enable a simple and safe connection between HVA & DUT. They are available in different lengths and are quickly exchangeable.
