Dielectric Loss Tangent Testing Instruments
-
Insulation materials in electrical equipment are used between a pair of electrodes; therefore it can be expressed as capacitors. Applying AC voltage to a capacitor with insulation materials causes an energy loss due to the leak current, the dielectric polarization, and the partial discharge. Because of this, the phase of the capacitor current is more delayed than that of a zero-loss current (reactive current) flowing in an ideal insulation material. The delay angle is called "Dielectric Loss Angle", and the tangent is "Dielectric Loss Tangent" (tanδ). Please refer to the technical guide explained in detail.

TE-Metrology
-
HIGHVOLT Prüftechnik Dresden GmbH
The TE measurement complements the high voltage test and is part of the routine and type testing of numerous electrical devices. It is one of the most important non-destructive methods for detecting faults in electrical installations. The breakdown of an insulating material usually occurs at an internal weak point, which usually already shows a partial discharge activity in advance. For this reason, measuring partial discharges can help prevent costly damage. The TE measurement is thus used for quality testing and diagnosis in the factory as well as during on-site testing of cables, GIS, power transformers and transducers or rotating machinery and their components

Qualification and Quality Control Tests
Techsquare
-
New IEC standards, IEC 60034-18-41 and IEC 60034-18-42, have been issued to define the procedures for testing partial discharge inception voltage and the long-term performance (endurance) of Type I and Type II insulation systems used in rotating machines fed from voltage converters. Voltage impulse generators are required at least to test turn insulation, but they would be recommended for any testing under power electronics supply because of their capability to simulate the real electrical stress conditions. More generally, any type of electrical insulation system when subject to impulsive voltage waveform during life should be carefully evaluated in terms of partial discharge and endurance behaviour. This is why voltage impulse generators able to provide impulses with controlled amplitude and frequency are needed to face this new testing challenge.
