Training course: Ageing, Quality Assurance, Testing, Diagnostics and Failures of MV and (E)HV Power Cables
What degradation mechanisms or ageing mechanisms affect cables and their accessories? What is the rate of progression of these degradation processes? Do they all result in failure? What methods are available for diagnosing degradation mechanisms? Are these analyses and testing techniques only available in a laboratory or also in the field? And how effective are they? And what is the relationship of all this to safeguarding quality and reliability? Plenty of questions, but not every supplier of analysis and testing
Your benefits
■ Ageing of power cables and their accessories
■ Causes and risk of power cable system failures
■ Failure analysis
■ Quality assurance measures to in-crease reliability
■ Various testing and diagnostic options and their use
For whom?
Anyone involved (or to be involved) with power cables in the course of their daily work. It is recommended that the participants hold at least a Bachelor of Engineering degree or have a certain foreknowledge of power cables.
The course Power cables in general is recommended preparation for the in-depth courses, but not a requirement.
Course topics
The following topics will be addressed:
- Ageing
What are the main factors that cause cables and accessories to age and degrade? How do these factors show themselves in practical examples, what is there relevance and what are differences between cables types? - Quality assurance
What are the common processes and methodologies applied in quality assurance of power cable systems. What is the role of standardization and industry guidelines? What are common limitations and focus areas? - Lab testing for production
What are the relevant quality assurance tests, (pre-)qualification processes and testing programs during cable system production? What are key factors in electrical testing and how does this relate to existing standards and guidelines? - Field testing for commissioning
What are the relevant quality assurance processes and testing programs during cable system commissioning ? What are key factors in electrical testing and how does this relate to existing standards and guidelines? - Lab testing for service aged cables
What are common testing and diagnostic tools utilized in laboratories to diagnose and quantify cable ageing and performance? What is the role of standardization in these tests? - Field testing for service aged cables
What are common testing and diagnostic tools utilized in the field to diagnose and quantify cable ageing and performance? What is the role of standardization in these tests? - Failure investigations
What are the reasons for performing power failure investigations and what are the trends? What are key success factors in performing these investigations? Theory and practical examples will mixed.
In some cases, a visit to the KEMA labs may be part of the training program (not applicable for online training).
