Due to the large capacitance of the insulation layer of the cable, it is required that the dielectric loss instrument have a large testing capacity and a high testing voltage. For example, for 35kV cables, the dielectric loss test voltage should be 1.5 times U0 (i.e. 39KV). The conventional power frequency dielectric loss tester has a small load capacity and a low test voltage (less than 12KV), which cannot meet this testing requirement. Ultra low frequency has strong carrying capacity due to its low operating frequency, making it suitable for conducting dielectric loss tests on cables.
