Development of TNB MV Underground Cable
Specification
• TNB uses two type of MVUG Cables
– PILCDSTA (PILC)
• Before mid 1980’s
• Ceased addition since 2007

• Insulation Resistance Test
is the specific resistivity of the cable insulation

is the length of cable (m)
is the external radii of insulation
is the internal radii of insulation
•Insulation resistance is temperature sensitive
•Long test time is needed to allow for charging current to ceased
•Reading is length dependent

IEEE Guide for Field Testing of Shielded Power Cable Systems Using
Very Low Frequency (VLF)
• The results of field tests on over 15000 XLPE cable circuits
tested showed that ~68% of the recorded failures occurred
within 12 minutes, ~89% within 30 minutes, ~95% after 45
minutes, and 100% after 60 minutes (Moh [B17]).
• The recommended testing time varies between 15 and 60
minutes, although the data in Moh [B17] suggest a testing
time of 30 minutes.
