About This Item
IEEE P400.2/D13 Aug 2012 is an inactive draft guide for field testing shielded power cable systems using very low frequency (VLF) below 1 Hz. It is aimed at test methods for cable insulation and related components where controlled, low-frequency voltage testing can help evaluate condition and performance. For engineers, utilities, and maintenance teams, this technical document supports more consistent testing practice when working with shielded power cables in power and energy applications.
About IEEE P400.2/D13 Aug 2012
This draft guide focuses on the field testing of shielded power cable systems with VLF techniques, typically used to assess insulation behavior under a test regime different from standard power-frequency methods. IEEE P400.2/D13 Aug 2012 is relevant to cable systems, dielectric performance, and test procedures where repeatable field evaluation is needed. Its value lies in helping define a technical basis for testing practice, so results can be interpreted more consistently across installations, equipment types, and maintenance programs.
Where is IEEE P400.2/D13 Aug 2012 used?
IEEE P400.2/D13 Aug 2012 is commonly used in the testing of shielded medium-voltage and similar power cable systems during commissioning, maintenance, troubleshooting, or condition assessment. It is relevant in utility networks, industrial power distribution, and other engineered electrical systems where insulated cable performance must be checked in the field. The guide is especially useful for technicians working with VLF test sets, cable terminations, and related diagnostic workflows that depend on reliable insulation testing.
Importance in practice
In practice, this draft guide helps improve consistency in cable testing decisions and reduce uncertainty during field assessments. Using IEEE P400.2/D13 Aug 2012 can support safer test planning, better procurement of test services or equipment, and more defensible maintenance records. It also helps teams compare results more reliably when evaluating shielded power cable systems, which is important when insulation condition, service continuity, and risk reduction are part of the decision process.
