- 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.
