DC Test Capabilities

Products from our high voltage DC test system range provide the required DC voltage for specified withstand and leakage measurements on electrical insulation. We help you choose the generator, controls and accessories to match your test requirements, and assess the complete test system configuration.

  • DC withstand testing

    Apply the prescribed electrical stress to a test object and evaluate the result against acceptance criteria. Product standards define the voltage and the test duration; the generator defines the available test system envelope.

  • Leakage current measurement

    Stipulate measuring leakage current during a voltage test. How readings are evaluated is defined by the test procedure and criteria.

  • Arrester test functions

    The ZGF range includes a 0.75 UDC1mA function for zinc-oxide arrester testing. Include the arrester type and required measurement sequence in your enquiry so the selected controls match the test.

  • Protection and operating controls

    Zero-position, overvoltage and overcurrent protection functions and breakdown protection are described. These functions are part of test equipment. Other factors such as the test area, the procedure and the personnel arrangement need to be suitable to the installation.

Test Objects and Applications

Equipment for factory, laboratory and field testing of power system components is described. For cable testing of HVDC components, assess the construction of the cable, accessory arrangement and test stage and the DC source to evaluate if it meets the total test requirement.

  • Cables and accessories high voltage test equipment

    Cables and accessories

    Stipulate cable length, capacitance and accessory assembly and the required DC test voltage. Cable testing during manufacture, qualification and site work can vary.

  • Bushings and arresters high voltage test arrangement

    Bushings and arresters

    Send the component rating, drawing and applicable test procedure. Connection geometry and leakage measurement arrangements help determine the test set and accessories.

  • Other electrical equipment insulation testing

    Other electrical equipment

    We can evaluate enquiries for transformers, circuit breakers, generators and converter-equipment insulation components. State the specific apparatus and test method rather than selecting from a general equipment category alone.

Utility and laboratory purchasing

Match the test waveform to the application. A utility substation test, a laboratory dielectric study and a factory acceptance test can require different high voltage test equipment even when their headline voltage is similar.

System Configuration

A useful quotation defines the source, measurement arrangement, controls and site interfaces together. Check lead length and transport requirements early to see if the configuration will fit the test bay or field work location.

Custom designs up to 800 kV

Our custom HVDC system scope extends to 800 kV. Current, ripple, duty, polarity, control functions and layout are specified for the individual project, separately from the catalog table below.

System Configuration

Configuration inputs and their effect on the supply scope

Requirement Why it matters Include with your enquiry
Capacitive load and charging Voltage rating alone does not establish the required charging performance. Object capacitance, leakage, target voltage and permitted charging time
Duty and test sequence A long hold or repeated sequence can require a different design from an intermittent catalog unit. Hold time, repetition, recovery intervals and load during each stage
Polarity and waveform Fixed polarity and polarity reversal during a test are different requirements. Required polarity, reversal sequence and any transient or superimposed test
Measurement and acceptance Ripple factor is not measurement uncertainty. Divider, instrument, calibration and complete-system uncertainty requirements
Installation and accessories The test object, leads and discharge arrangements determine the physical setup. Layout, cable lengths, grounding arrangements, access and transport constraints
