Spike Test - 33kV Cable

Eland Cables (You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login) performed this test on samples of 33kV cable at the independent CESI facility in Milan. A Spike Test is a test specifically designed to prove that the screen of a cable can withstand a full specified fault current for a period of no less than 3 seconds. It simulates the accidental "spiking" of a live cable installation and ensures that the circuit protection will operate and the circuit fails to safety. We are pleased to say all cables passed the test first time.
