failures proof since tested
That was in 2002, and to date, we haven't had any failures since we proof tested this cable.
breakdown build cause caused causing charges dc former input method problem testing thus ultimately using void within
A problem with the former method of testing is that it caused a treeing effect, which is a void in insulation. Charges that build up within these voids using the DC input method of testing would want to dissipate to ground, thus causing a breakdown in the cable's insulation, which would ultimately cause a failure.
cable cables cause defects fail forces occur placing purpose testing weak
The purpose of this testing is to cause defects to occur during testing before placing a cable back in service. It forces weak cables to fail during testing.
