    • Description

      Test the condition of the cables with VLF or DC slow voltage  

      The S-44 VLF high voltage insulation tester is a compact, robust and portable kit for testing medium voltage cables according to IEEE400, IEC 60502-2, CENELEC HD 620 and 621 and DIN VDE 0276/620 and 621. The test is carried out using the low electrical stress method, with a VLF (Very Low Frequency) voltage of 0.1 Hz.  

      The VLF test is the fastest way to detect insulation damage. The S-24 VLF instrument can test cables with plastic insulation (XLPE, PE-, EPR) as well as paper and oil insulation (PILC). Testing with DC voltage is also possible.

      Sonel offers online training course on the use of this product (instructional video and consultation with a specialist).

      Sonel VLF Tester Software

      The programme Sonel VLF Tester Software generates a test report based on the individual recorded data files.

      The first page of the generated report is an overview. The following pages describe the individual tests of the power cable system. The software is easy to use, so you can quickly create a PDF report that is attractive to the end user.

      Supported languages: Polish, English, Spanish, German, Czech, Italian. It is possible to generate a report in a language other than the one set for the interface.
