To measure insulation resistance of 11KV cable between core
& armour, what should be the test voltage & duration?

Answer Posted / sujeet pandey

To measure the insulation resistance of 11kv cable, we need
to keep Megger test voltage at 1kv and take 2 readings; one
at a interval of 15 sec and other at an interval of 1 min.
This will give Absorption Factor which is equal to ratio of
resistance at 1 min to the resistance at 15 sec. If the A.F.
is less than 1.2(a/c to Indian Standards) then the
insulation is not good and we must take the remedy action.

Hello everyone, somebody knows what is a "surplice power" ? The hole phrase is: "This rating is appropriate for a generator set paralleled with an infinite bus e.g. a national electrical supply network or grid where the generator set is run at 100% load, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year and any surplice power is exported into the grid" Thanks in advance.
