Electrical test methods for electric cables - Part 3: Test methods for partial discharge measurements on lengths of extruded power cables (IEC 60885-3:2015); German version EN 60885-3:2015
Elektrische Prüfverfahren für Starkstromkabel - Teil 3: Prüfverfahren zur Teilentladungsmessung an Längen von extrudierten Kabeln (IEC 60885-3:2015); Deutsche Fassung EN 60885-3:2015
Overview
This part of the standard IEC 60885 specifies the essential requirements for partial discharge (PD) measurements on lengths of extruded power cable, but does not include measurements made on installed cable systems. Reference is made to IEC 60270 Ed.3 (2000) which gives the techniques and considerations applicable to partial discharge measurements in general. The committee responsible is DKE/UK 411.1 "Starkstromkabel" ("Power cables") of the DKE (German Commission for Electrical, Electronic and Information Technologies) at DIN and VDE.
