Length: 37 pages
This course discusses various power cable testing procedures, cable failures and their analysis, insulation and conductor defects, field testing of medium voltage cables and different cable testing methods.
This course is suitable for electrical engineers with a desire to understand the fundamentals of power cable testing. The course covers issues related to different failure types such as mechanical failures, overheating, chemical actions, etc. and ways to mitigate failures such that service interruption time is minimized.
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:
- Perform a visual inspection of a cable.
- Analyze cable failures.
- Explain the causes and effects of cable heating.
- Identify conductor and insulation defects.
- Describe field testing of medium-voltage cables.
- Compare cable testing methods.
Certificate of Completion
You will be able to immediately print a certificate of completion after passing a multiple-choice quiz consisting of 30 questions. PDH credits are not awarded until the course is completed and quiz is passed.
