Both, water test terminations and series resonant test systems are increasingly used for testing of power cables. For breakdown tests on cable samples at very high voltages up to 800 kV the interdependence of terminations, high voltage source and test object becomes important. This paper explains this interdependence and provides design criteria for the test equipment, based on recent experience.
