Determining the length of the tested cable
Based on the electrical capacity of the tested object, the device enables the user to determine the length
of the tested cable. For this purpose - before starting the measurement - it is necessary to obtain data
on the object's parameters (e.g. from the manufacturer's catalogue sheet).
Each cable is marked at 1-metre intervals
with the following data:
name of the manufacturer,
cable type,
rated voltage,
number of conductors and cross-sec-
tion of each of them.
For example, the photograph shows a ca-
ble of
YHAKXS 1x240 RMC/50 12/20 kV
type.
Find this cable in the catalogue sheet of its
manufacturer. The parameter you search
for is
unit capacity
.
Its value should be converted to
nano-far-
ads per kilometre
(nF/km)
– the value is
entered into the meter in field
C
X
.
In this case the obtained value is
0.3
µF/km = 300 nF/km
.
Now you can configure the meter. Use
