EuroWire – July 2007
With the exception of
destructive testing, these
processes do nothing to
a production run of wire.
Yet theymean everything
to the value of that wire
– as saleable commodity
and, later, in its life in
service. They command
the invisible but critical
interface at which a
length of perfect wire is
known to be a length of
perfect wire.
Testing andmeasuring
technology and equipment
Feature
Highvolt Prüftechnik Dresden GmbH has
developed a brand-new digital recorder
for the measuring of impulses, AC and
combined voltages in the field of high-
voltage (HV) cable testing. The system
fulfils all requirements according to
the IEC 60060 and IEC 61083 standards
eg IEC 60060-1, 61083-1.
The MIAS is fast and efficient and
operated by a user-friendly graphic
interface. Two basically different designs
allow an optimum adaptation to any test
requirement.
Whereas the MIAS design type C integrates
the industrial computer, the design type B
needs a separate industry PC.
This IPC is also used for controlling the
complete HV test equipment eg an
impulse generator. The control and data
link between MIAS B and IPC is simply
made by an optical standard interface.
The type MIAS 100-14/2 is available as a
digital recorder with a sampling rate of
100ms/s, 14 bits resolution and 2 channels
or as a recorder with 200ms/s at 12bits
resolution (MIAS 200-12/2, shown above).
The number of channels can be extended
upon demand.
ThecomprehensivesoftwareIAScomprises
many application-oriented features and
is run by Windows® (XP or Vista). One of
theseapplicationsisespeciallydesignedfor
cable
testing.
The necessary a l go r i t hms
for lightning impulses, switching im-
pulses, AC and combined voltage
evaluations are integrated.
All data of wave shapes are saved
automatically and the IAS report
generator creates MS-Word® test reports.
Optionally the operator can also use its
own-designed templates.
