IEEE 400.3-2022

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. PD testing, which is a useful indicator of insulation degradation, may be carried out online or by means of an external voltage source. This guide does not cover the testing of compressed gas insulated cable or termination systems

This guide describes diagnostic methods capable of detecting and locating PD from defects and damage in installed shielded power cable systems. The results of PD tests can be used to assess the condition of cables and accessories.

Revision Standard - Active. 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 is covered by this guide. PD testing, which is a useful indicator of insulation degradation, may be carried out online or by means of an external voltage source. The testing of compressed gas insulated cable or termination systems is not covered by this guide.
