• Laminated cables (e.g. PILC)
• Insulated cables
• Cable jacket / sheath
Other highly
capacitive loads
Generators
• Switchgear
• Transformers
• Rotating machines
• Insulators
• Bushings
Appropriate Measurements
Measurement Examples
Test

• Resistance
• Dielectric breakdown voltage
• RMS current
• Applied RMS voltage
2.4 Operator Qualifications
HVA operators must be qualified electrical technicians! Proof of
necessary qualifications for working in high voltage domain is
mandatory. It is highly recommended that operators have completed an
emergency rescue training program.
