Description

The HV-OWS-63 is a professional-grade, field-optimized non-destructive partial discharge detection and localization systemexclusively designed for 6kV~35kV XLPE power cables. It fully complies with DL/T 1575-2016, DL/T 1576-2016 and IEC 60270:2015 standards, adopting advanced Damped AC (DAC) oscillating wave technology that simulates power frequency voltage excitation without causing any irreversible damage to cable insulation.
The system features an innovative all-in-one integrated design that combines a DC high-voltage power supply, PD-free resonant reactor, high-speed PD acquisition unit and intelligent control system into a single wheeled chassis. Its industry-leading 14bit/125MS/s high-speed synchronous sampling ensures accurate capture of weak PD signals, while the time-domain reflectometry (TDR) technology provides ±0.1m ultra-high positioning accuracy for PD sources. The built-in expert diagnosis system automatically identifies defect types (water trees, voids, joint defects, poor installation) and assesses severity levels. With one-click fully automatic operation and standardized report generation, it greatly improves test efficiency and reduces operator skill requirements. The lightweight portable design with a total weight of less than 80kg and 220V single-phase input makes it ideal for on-site testing in various environments. Ideal for new cable acceptance tests, in-service cable preventive maintenance, fault cable diagnosis and construction quality inspection.

FAQ

Q: What is the difference between HV-OWS-63 and traditional DC withstand voltage tests?

A:
  • Traditional DC withstand tests: Apply high DC voltage to the cable, which can cause space charge accumulation and accelerate insulation aging, especially for water tree degraded cables. They can only verify insulation breakdown strength and cannot detect partial discharge defects.
  • HV-OWS-63 (DAC technology): Generates oscillating AC voltage equivalent to power frequency, which does not cause space charge accumulation or insulation damage. It can simultaneously complete withstand voltage verification and partial discharge detection, accurately locating early insulation defects.

Q: What is the maximum cable length that HV-OWS-63 can test?

A: HV-OWS-63 supports a load capacitance range of 0.05μF ~ 6μF. For common 10kV XLPE cables with a capacitance of approximately 0.15μF/km, it can test cables up to 40km in length. For 35kV cables with a capacitance of approximately 0.2μF/km, it can test cables up to 30km in length.

Q: How accurate is the defect location?

A: HV-OWS-63 adopts advanced time-domain reflectometry (TDR) technology with ±0.1m absolute positioning accuracy and ≤1% relative error. For a 1km cable, the maximum location error is only 10 meters, which can accurately locate defects to a specific cable joint or segment.

Q: How long does a typical test take?

A: A complete test cycle for a single-phase cable takes approximately 15~30 minutes, including wiring, parameter configuration, testing and report generation. For three-phase cables, the total test time is approximately 45~90 minutes, which is much faster than traditional test methods.
