6�1 Application
The HVA is a VLF test unit with an integrated Tan Delta measuring system.
It provides a high-voltage Tan Delta measuring system suitable for testing
medium-voltage electrical insulation systems such as cables (including
XLPE, PE EPR, PILC, etc.), capacitors, switchgear, transformers, rotating
machines, insulators and bushings. Tan Delta testing enables the cable test
engineer to detect insulation defects before the cable fails in service. The
Tan Delta test results of the test object can be easily measured, recorded

drive, Bluetooth synchronization or internal memory.
Suitable PC software (b2 ControlCenter) is included in the scope of delivery.
With this PC software test results can easily be stored on a standard PC or
laptop for analysis, trending or quality control. This enables the cable engineer
to now make Tan Delta testing a routine maintenance test.
