Megger EasyTest 20 kV VLF AND DC 20 KV CABLE TEST SYSTEM

The Easytest represents a simplified version of the standard VLF test. It has been designed to verify operational integrity versus operational reliability, which is the objective of a standard VLF test following the respective standards.

Typically, a simplified test is performed per company specifications after repairs or after a new cable or circuit has been installed. The purpose of such a test is to verify the integrity of the cable and its accessories before switching the circuit back into operation. The Easiest allows such a test at voltages well above operating voltage to provide a safe indication regarding operational integrity.

Key Features of the Megger EasyTest 20 kV

The EasyTest 20 kV stands out for its small size and lightweight, making it an ideal choice for field technicians who require a portable testing solution. This design facilitates easy transportation and setup, allowing for efficient testing operations in various environments.

Equipped with an output voltage of up to 20 kV and the ability to operate at 0.1 Hz AC at 0.5 μF (and up to 2.5 μF at 0.02 Hz), the EasyTest 20 kV can adequately handle the demands of testing cables up to 2 kilometers in length. This capability ensures comprehensive coverage for most medium-voltage cables used in utility and industrial applications.

The EasyTest 20 kV includes both VLF and DC testing capabilities. The DC module offers additional features such as leakage current measurement, which is crucial for testing both polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and paper-insulated lead-covered (PILC) cables. This dual functionality increases the system’s utility, providing more value in a single device.
