The LIpATEST is an insulation condition assessment test developed by Powertech Labs primarily for testing of insulation in power cables. In the LIpATEST, Powertech applies a negative, step-dc voltage ...

The street scene shows damage caused by an explosion in a manhole as a result of gases generated by a low-voltage arcing fault. North America, according to statistics published by the IEEE Insulated ...

CableEye wire harness testing systems easily link to custom test fixtures and harnesses and instantaneously check for faults, ...

To get a good idea of the changes that have been happening to cable testers, think of them as circuit analyzers. This much more inclusive classification not only covers cable harnesses, but also power ...

We hear it all the time — America’s electrical infrastructure is aging. Coupled with that reality, one of the issues that continues to surface around this ongoing discussion is knowing the reliability ...

This network cable tester is designed for testing network cable with CAT 5 connectors, RJ-45. It can be modified to test any 8 conductor cable by replacing the RJ-45 jacks with the mating connectors ...

National Electrical Code (NEC) Table 310.104(C) is titled “Conductor Application and Insulation Rated 2,001V or Higher.” For MV solid dielectric cables, there are two basic types of insulation: ...

Microcontroller-based circuits for testing cables, sometimes in conjunction with a PC, are easy to use and very flexible. For the hobbyist, however, the complication of such devices is not justified.
