TD60-MC
The TD60 requires a compatible HV Diagnostics HVA series VLF hipot tester (like the HVA60) to provide the high-voltage source for the Tan Delta measurements. It is a valuable tool for proactive cable maintenance and diagnostics, helping to identify insulation defects before they lead to failures.
Key Features:
- Advanced Diagnostics: Performs Tan Delta measurements according to IEEE 400 and 400.2 standards, providing valuable insights into the insulation quality of MV cables (XLPE, PE, EPR, PILC).
- Water Tree Detection: Highly effective in detecting water trees and water degradation, a common cause of failure in aged extruded cables.
- Non-Destructive Testing: Tan Delta tests can often be performed at voltages below the normal operating voltage, minimizing the risk of insulation failure during testing.
- Wireless Bluetooth Communication: Transmits test results wirelessly to a PC, simplifying setup and reducing cable clutter.
- Easy to Use: Designed for straightforward operation with minimal connections
- Accurate Measurements: Offers a Tan Delta resolution of 1 x 10⁻⁵ and an accuracy of ± 1 x 10⁻⁴ (for loads >15nF).
- TD Control Center Software: Included PC software for display, analysis, trending, and automatic report generation of test data.
- Simultaneous Testing and Diagnostics: Allows for Tan Delta measurements during VLF withstand tests (SMART VLF testing).
- Battery Powered: Operates on standard C-type batteries, offering portability for field use.
- Compact and Lightweight: Designed for easy transportation and handling.
- Wide Application: Suitable for testing cables, capacitors, switchgear, transformers, and rotating machines.
