A calorimetric measuring system for measurement of loss in high voltage cable conductors
A calorimetric measuring system for measuring the ratio between AC and DC resistance, RAC/RDC, of high voltage power cable conductors has been designed and constructed. An uncertainty analysis predicts that the ratio RAC/RDC at 90°C of a 2500 mm2 cable of low loss design can be measured with an uncertainty of 1,0%. But the uncertainty of an actual measurement was larger due to unresolved sources of uncertainty. ; The work reported here has received support from the EMPIR programme co-financed by the Participating States and from the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme.
