Outer Sheath MV cable DC test
Outer Sheath MV cable DC test
(OP)
Hello!
I'm performing DC test to verify the outer sheath integrity on a MV 36kV cable after laying, according to IEC 60840 & IEC 60229 standards. I'm using a BAUR testing equipment. According to the manufacter, the test equipment negative (-) terminal should be connected in the outer sheath and the positive (+) terminal in the earth (ground). Both cable ends should de disconnected from earth. My question is, if I connect the positive terminal (+) in the sheath and the negative terminal (-) in the earth the test will not work?
Thanks in advanced.

The only time I used a Negative output test voltage (200 kVdc) was in an oil filled two bushing reactor filter equipment, that was subject to shipping damage. It passed.
