Product Description
Target Application: Cable fault burn-through and insulation conditioning specialists tackling high-resistance and moisture-ingress faults — emphasizing 320mA burn-through current, full short-circuit immunity, and zero-cross self-discharge for safe operation on water-damaged and aging cable infrastructure.
XHHV508 Series DC High Voltage Power Supply — 200W / 400W

The XHHV508 series DC high voltage power supply fully complies with DL/T846 and DL/T474 standards for high voltage test equipment and on-site insulation testing. Designed for 35kV and below voltage-class cable fault testing — including DC withstand voltage, impulse discharge, and fault point burn-through — this instrument completely replaces traditional test transformer and control box systems that weigh over 70 kg combined.

Built with high-precision, high-stability specialized HV electronic components and high-frequency high-voltage technology, the XHHV508 features a simple, lightweight construction. Its unique short-circuit immune design allows the HV output to operate safely even when directly shorted to ground. As China's lightest portable DC impulse high-voltage equipment with flexible power configuration, it is the ideal instrument for power cable fault detection.

XHHV508-4

Key Features
  • DC Withstand Voltage and Burn-Through: Dual-mode operation supporting DC withstand testing for cable insulation verification and DC burn-through for converting high-resistance faults to locatable faults at up to 320mA.
  • External Capacitor Interface: Supports 1-16 F external capacitor banks for impulse discharge testing, with the voltmeter continuously monitoring capacitor voltage even in standby mode.
  • Short-Circuit Immune: High-frequency topology inherently survives direct HV-to-ground shorts — eliminates external ballast protection and survives accidental discharge faults without damage.
  • Zero-Start Protection: HV output cannot be initiated unless voltage adjustment is at zero; yellow zero-start indicator confirms safe state before each test cycle.
  • Automatic Self-Discharge: Internal bleed circuit dissipates residual voltage upon HV output stop — voltmeter returns to zero confirming safe state without requiring immediate manual discharge.
  • Dual 1.5-Grade Pointer Meters: Analog HV voltmeter and LV ammeter provide real-time visual indication of discharge dynamics, arc establishment, and residual voltage.
  • Comprehensive Protection: Over-current (12A, >8S), over-voltage, and over-temperature (65 C) automatic protection with manual reset — built for continuous field operation from -25 C to +65 C.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: How does DC burn-through convert high-resistance faults into locatable faults?
High-resistance cable faults — typically caused by moisture ingress, carbonized tracking, or degraded insulation — resist standard impulse methods because fault impedance is too high to sustain an arc. The XHHV508's 320mA DC burn-through applies sustained DC current (up to 32kV) directly to the fault, progressively carbonizing and drying the fault path. This converts high-resistance faults into low-resistance metallic shorts that can then be precisely located using acoustic, magnetic, or step-voltage pin-pointing. The current meter provides real-time feedback — a sustained current increase indicates successful conditioning.
Q2: What does short-circuit immune design mean for field operations?
Short-circuit immunity means the HV output operates safely even when connected directly to ground — a condition that would destroy conventional transformer-based test sets. This is essential in three scenarios: (1) During burn-through of water-ingressed faults, impedance may suddenly collapse as water vaporizes; (2) When testing cables with unknown fault characteristics; (3) During impulse discharge where sphere gap closure creates a momentary short. The XHHV508's high-frequency topology inherently limits output current during short circuits without external protection devices.
Q3: How does the self-discharge mechanism improve field safety and workflow?
Traditional HV DC supplies require manual discharge using a discharge rod after each test — an operator-dependent procedure with safety risks if forgotten. The XHHV508's automatic self-discharge circuit activates when HV output stops: internal bleed resistors safely dissipate residual voltage to zero within seconds, confirmed by the voltmeter. The operator still uses the discharge rod as final verification, but the self-discharge circuit ensures stored energy is already dissipated even if the manual step is skipped. This is particularly valuable in burn-through operations with multiple charge/discharge cycles.
Q4: What types of cable faults benefit most from burn-through conditioning?
DC burn-through conditioning is preferred for: (1) Water-tree degraded XLPE and PILC cables where moisture creates high-resistance tracking paths; (2) Oil-filled cable joints with intermittent high-impedance faults; (3) Aged PILC cables with gradual insulation breakdown in the kilo-ohm to mega-ohm range; (4) Direct-buried cables where soil moisture creates electrolytic fault paths. In all cases, the sustained 320mA DC current provides thermal energy to permanently modify the fault path impedance.
Q5: What operating procedure ensures effective and safe burn-through?
Recommended procedure: (1) Verify ground resistance <5 Ohm and connect all safety grounds; (2) Press over-current protection switch (must be pressed); (3) Confirm zero-start indicator is illuminated (yellow); (4) Press start and slowly increase voltage while monitoring current — rising current indicates conditioning; (5) If current plateaus, increase voltage in 5kV increments to 32kV max; (6) When current shows sudden jump or sustained flow, fault is conditioned — reduce voltage to zero and press stop; (7) Wait for self-discharge (voltmeter at zero), then verify with discharge rod; (8) If over-current triggers, power-cycle before resetting.
