HVA90 Insulation tester

The HVA90 insulation tester by b2hv is a portable 0.1 Hz VLF cable test system for the testing of medium voltage cables.

With its weight of 127 kg the hipot tester provides an excellent power-to-weight-ratio.

HVA90 insulation tester for voltages up to 90kV

HVA90 insulation tester

The powerful output is capable of driving capacitive loads of up to 10 μF.

At maximum output voltage cables with a length of up to 33 km can be tested.

  • Sinusoidal: 0 – 90 kV peak, 0 – 64 kV eff
  • DC: ± 0 - 90 kV
  • Squarewave: 90 kV


The highvoltage insulation tester HVA90 offers various operating modes.
Cable testing, cable sheath / jacket testing, sheath fault location, cable fault conditioning (burning), vacuum bottle test.

The following features make the high voltage HVA insulation tester the outstanding cable test system of its class:

  • Predefined standard-compliant cable test sequences
  • Symmetrical sine wave high voltage
  • RMS measurement of output voltage and current
  • Measurement of capacitive and resistive load
  • Automatic and load dependent frequency selection (0.01 Hz – 0.1 Hz)
  • Display of current test time
  • Integrated real-time scope function
  • Self-explanatory, multilingual software
  • Automatic measurement reporting
  • Report storage via RS232 (USB optional)
  • PC software (HVA Control Center) for data analysis and storage
  • Flashover detection and ultra fast switch off
  • Flashover voltage measurement
  • Time optimized burning mode
  • No regular maintenance required

 

The fully comprehensive safety features of the highvoltage insulation tester guarantees protection for operator and test instrument.

  • Short circuit protected output
  • 12 kV feedback protection
  • Signal lamps for active / inactive high voltage
  • Status display of safety functions
  • Integrated discharge circuit (DDD®) for device under test
  • Main switch with key-lock
  • Emergency-off button on front panel


A SINGLE insulation tester for NUMEROUS applications:

  • Cables: XLPE , PE, EPR, PILC, etc.
  • Capacitors
  • Switchgear
  • Transformers
  • Rotating machines (IEEE 433)
  • Isolators
  • Bushings


The HVA90 may be expanded with optional devices to a full cable diagnostics system.

The HVA system may then be used for tan delta measurement

or partial discharge measurement
