The article presents the results of a pulsed electro-acoustic (PEA) measurement following the protocol recommended by IEEE standard 1732–2017 (IEEE Recommended Practice for Space Charge Measurements on High-Voltage Direct-Current Extruded Cables for Rated Voltages up to 550 kV). A full-size, unaged HVDC cable rated to 525 kV was the chosen sample, with two tests conducted in positive and negative DC polarities. This study demonstrates the reproducibility of the PEA measurement on full-size HVDC cables over 100 meters in length and the applicability of the PEA measurement protocol in the IEEE standard 1732-2017.","PeriodicalId":444,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Electrical Insulation Magazine","volume":"41 2","pages":"5-5"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2025-03-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10924658","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143611920","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The goal of this annual conference is to bring together researchers in all disciplines from industry, universities, government, and other laboratories to discuss the latest results and developments in the area of electrical insulation and dielectric phenomena. The CEIDP is aimed at fostering free discussion of scientific and technical topics, but conference participants are expected to avoid any commercialization of their research activities or research results.","PeriodicalId":444,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Electrical Insulation Magazine","volume":"41 2","pages":"46-46"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2025-03-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10924650","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143611789","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
