The LIpATEST is an insulation condition assessment test developed by Powertech Labs primarily for testing of insulation in power cables. In the LIpATEST, Powertech applies a negative, step-dc voltage ...

The street scene shows damage caused by an explosion in a manhole as a result of gases generated by a low-voltage arcing fault. North America, according to statistics published by the IEEE Insulated ...

We hear it all the time — America’s electrical infrastructure is aging. Coupled with that reality, one of the issues that continues to surface around this ongoing discussion is knowing the reliability ...

To get a good idea of the changes that have been happening to cable testers, think of them as circuit analyzers. This much more inclusive classification not only covers cable harnesses, but also power ...

In a perfect world, all the electrical current sent along a conductive wire would reach its intended destination. However, in the real world some of it is lost along the way for various reasons. Wires ...

Microcontroller-based circuits for testing cables, sometimes in conjunction with a PC, are easy to use and very flexible. For the hobbyist, however, the complication of such devices is not justified.

This network cable tester is designed for testing network cable with CAT 5 connectors, RJ-45. It can be modified to test any 8 conductor cable by replacing the RJ-45 jacks with the mating connectors ...
