66/69kV Cable System Performance | Jointer Error Concerns
Published 06 Nov 2020
66kV
Are you suffering performance issues with your HV Cable Systems?
Our clients have been asking us to provide information on 66/69kV class cable systems.
So here is a view from our database of over 200,000 factory comparable (50/60Hz PD with 5pC sensitivity) tests on recently installed 66/69kV cable systems. The data is not pretty.
We have a ways to go to improve performance on these cable systems.
On the basis of a few projects including over 350 cable systems, 52% (from a 3 phase performance stand point) have at least one substandard component.
Terminations are the worst offenders at 15.5% substandard whereas Joints fair a little better at 3.8% substandard.
We have performed dissections on several occasions. The issues? Installation error.
