Technical Committees: Recent Activities of the DEIS Technical Committee on “HVDC Cable Systems”: Two New Study Groups for Novel IEEE Standards on Space Charge Measurement

The IEEE DEIS TC “HVDC cable systems (cables, joints and terminations)” has been quite active since its formation in 2012 (for a summary, see the TC website [1]) and has issued the following two IEEE standards: (1) IEEE 1732–2017, “Recommended Practice for Space Charge Measurements in HVDC Extruded Cables for Rated Voltages up to 550 kV” [2] and (2) IEEE 2862–2020, “Recommended Practice for Partial Discharge Measurements under AC Voltage with VHF/UHF Sensors During Routine Tests on Factory and Pre-moulded Joints of HVDC Extruded Cable Systems up to 800 kV” [3].
