Chapter 3 High Voltage Testing
High Voltage tests are applied to determine the ability of the insulation to meet its design requirements Destructive Non destructive For solid insulators To measure the maximum Dielectric strength For all types of insulators To insure the quality of Insulation
* HV Test Classifications 1- AC - DC - Impulse ( switching - Lightning) 2- Type tests - Routine Tests - Special Tests 3- Destructive Tests - Nondestructive Tests 4- Acceptance - Design and Research
Test Voltages (I) Direct voltages • Mainly used for:- • Pure scientific research work • For testing equipment related to HVDC transmission systems. • For HVAC power cables of long length, as the large capacitance of those cables would take a high current if tested with a.c. voltages .

Purposes of tan δ tests 1- to assess the level of degradation suffered by the dielectric 2- to assess the quality of the insulation 3- to assess the level of contamination (liquid dielectric) 4- to assess the presence of cavities ( solid dielectrics)
Partial Discharge Tests Partial discharges are in general a consequence of local electrical stress concentrations in the insulation or on the surface of the insulation. The term ‘partial discharge’ includes a wide group of discharge phenomena: (i) internal discharges occurring in voids or cavities within solid or liquid dielectrics; (ii) surface discharges appearing at the boundary of different insulation materials; (iii) corona discharges occurring in gaseous dielectrics in the presence of inhomogeneous fields; (iv) continuous impact of discharges in solid dielectrics forming discharge channels (treeing).
The detection and measurement of discharges is based on the exchange of energy taking place during the discharge. These exchanges are manifested as: (i) Electrical pulse currents (with some exceptions, i.e. some types of glow discharges); (ii) Dielectric losses; (iii) Radiation (light); (iv) Sound (noise); (v) Increased gas pressure; (vi) Chemical reactions.
The basic PD test circuit Va Ca = C`a +C``a
Let us now assume that the sample was charged to the voltage Va but the terminals A, B are no longer connected to a voltage source. If the switch S is closed and Cc becomes completely discharged, the current ic(t) releases a charge δqc = Cc δVc from Cc, a charge which is lost in the whole system as assumed for simulation. By comparing the charges within the system before and after this discharge, we receive the voltage drop across the terminal δVa as
