World First | EHV 1,100kV GIS Tested By Standard Lighting Impulse Voltage
March 9th, 2021
PowerHVÂ have successfully performed onsite Lighting Impulse Voltage Testing on 1100kV GIS by 3,000kV 300kJ SF6 insulated impulse voltage generator.
It is the first time in the world that EHV GIS was tested by Standard Lighting Impulse Voltage on site. This time, the standard Lighting Impulse Voltage Test is mainly made on 1100kV GIS already installed as part of first phase project, including bushing, isolating switches, busbars, grounding switches.
YangZhou Power Electric Co., Ltd. is the subsidiary company of the Yangzhou Xinyuan Electric, Co., Ltd –Â 
PowerHV are world leading High Voltage Testing specialists for switchgear, transformers and cable accessories including (cable joints and terminations).

Preventing Costly Outages With Factory Grade Technology
Guest Article: IMCORP by Ben Lanz
uploaded by Natalie Lundie – Thorne & Derrick Supply Chain: Marketing Lead
IMCORP is a provider of underground power cable reliability services for medium and high voltage (5kV to 500kV) power cable systems for both aged and new cable installations.
IMCORP’s Factory Grade® technology will access MV HV Cable Systems, identify cable systems in need of rehabilitation allowing the customer to ultimately restore the cable system to like-new status.
âž¡ Did you Know? – Last year, on renewable sites, IMCORP identified 516 substandard cable terminations, 330 substandard cable splices, and 151 cable defects.
The featured image at the top of the page is a cable defect recently identified during our partial discharge testing at 300mw solar site. During our testing of this ~1000-foot-long buried cable IMCORP discovered this defect at ~753-foot mark.
A costly Power outage avoided
IMCORP offline Factory Grade® assessments can be capitalized, as part of a cable life extension program. Additionally, our assessment is non-destructive and is a cost-effective alternative to wholesale cable replacement.
IMCORP enables clients to improve cable system reliability through asset life cycle management services including commissioning, maintenance, and retirement.
Avoiding cable system failures and high O&M costs begins with understanding how cable failures occur and having the ability to detect these defects in advance of a breakdown.
IMCORP is the technology leader in Medium & High Voltage Power Cable Systems life cycle condition assessment and performance – IMCORP have been helping their clients achieve maximum cable reliability for more than 20 years and have assessed over 130,000 5kV to 500kV cable systems spanning in excess of 160 million feet.

Click Fit Cable Joints
Click-Fit joints are used in the high voltage power grids, connecting all combinations of cables with minimum effort and in less time than conventional joints.
The pre-moulded, factory tested Click-Fit joints over a fail-safe connection every time. Click-Fit joints can be split into four main categories – sectionalised and un-sectionalised (symmetrical joint and asymmetrical joints type to connect two different extruded cables), transition joints for extruded to paper cable connections and branch (Y) joints.
Click-Fit joints are highly reliable cable connection assemblies designed to connect any extruded high voltage cable and able to cover a broad range of applications. Also Click-Fit technology allows for pre-fabrication of the XLPE cable prior to disconnection of the circuit, thus reducing network down time.
