Description

The capability to produce long cable lengths is one of the challenges manufacturers of high voltage cables face. This goes closely together with the cleanliness of the material. It has to be on the highest level to minimize the risk of discharges by contaminants, and to assure a consistent performance with long-term reliability. Last but not least, high-voltage cables have to comply with customer specifications regarding dimension and transmission capabilities.
Taking these demands together the production of this cable type is ambitious and requires reliability in online quality control during the entire production process. Therefore, it is necessary to continuously measure certain cable characteristics at specific stages during the production.
