CDS

Absolutely non-destructive condition evaluation of PE / XLPE / paper-oil insulated cable systems

Simple operation and automatic measurement procedures

Three-phase parallel measurement for current and voltage – duration of a complete measurement 1 hour

Extended dynamic range for IRC measurement for long cable segments

Measurement of charging current during formation

Improved filters

Extended capacity of internal rechargeable battery for serial measurements

Extended formation voltage up to 5 kV – suitable for diagnosis on HV cables

The portable combined CDS is used as universal dielectric diagnostic system on PE / XLPE insulated cables as well as paper insulated cables worldwide. It combines the known methods of Isothermal Relaxation Current measurement (IRC-Analysis) and Voltage Return Method (RVM-Analysis) for aging and deterioration diagnostics. Due to the low charging voltage of the measurement the CDS works absolutely non destructive.
