New modular Test System for testing Super Long Cables

Due to the change in energy consumption, the demand for longer and longer cables is constantly increasing. The challenge lies in the production of such cables and, as a result, in the testing of these lengths. Conventional systems reach their limits. The new test rig is capable of testing cables up to four times the length and simultaneously reducing the masses and footprints. This solution is modular and “PD-free” as required for cable testing. It is presented how this can be achieved and which lengths can be tested in the future. The first test facility of this type will be installed and operated in Europe in the summer.
