Abstract: Many new HVAC power cable installations on wind farms, both on- and offshore, have long lengths. In contrast to traditional power cable connections of a few kilometers, the failures of those systems usually result in much higher repair and unsupplied energy costs. To support the quality assurance of newly installed cable systems as well as to create a sound basis for condition-based maintenance, this paper discusses the technical challenges of the field testing of long-length power cable systems using a damped AC testing method and also discusses the best practical applications for the testing and diagnosis of these wind farm HVAC cable systems.
