Product Description

The High Current Cable Thermal Cycling Test System is designed to simulate the thermal stress experienced by power cables during actual operation. High current is applied to the conductor to generate controlled heating, while temperature sensors continuously monitor the cable temperature.

The system automatically controls current and temperature according to the predefined test profile, making it suitable for repeated heating and cooling cycles.

A high-current configuration is particularly suitable for cable laboratories that need to reproduce operating-temperature conditions without relying on manual current adjustment.

Why Customers Choose a High-Current System

The major challenge in cable thermal testing is not simply generating current. The system must deliver stable current, repeatable heating, accurate temperature control, reliable long-duration operation, and safe automatic operation.

For this reason, the heating transformer, current regulator, temperature sensors, control system, and protection system need to be designed as one complete solution.

FAQ

Can the current output be customized?
Yes. Current capacity is normally selected according to the cable conductor size and required thermal test conditions.

Can the equipment operate continuously?
Yes. The system can be designed for continuous and long-duration thermal cycling applications.

Is automatic temperature regulation available?
Yes. Automatic temperature control can be configured according to the required test procedure.

Can the system be integrated with other HV equipment?
Yes. It can be integrated into a complete cable type-testing laboratory together with AC resonant test systems, impulse generators, HV measurement systems, and partial discharge systems.
