With new developments in insulation material technology the trend is moving towards the use of higher test voltages, indeed Megger has seen a big increase in 10kV instrument sales over the last 3 years. Apart from the obvious benefits of increasing test voltage relating to the increase in test current, higher test voltage requirements have appeared in a number of standards, notably 10 kV in IEEE43 :2000.
However 15 kV is now in demand as engineers experience earlier degradation detection and better fault detection on high voltage equipment. Many power utilities in South America have already incorporated 15 kV testing into their procedures and this trend is now spreading into Europe, Middle East and Asia. In the US NETA standards specify 15 kV. The NETA Pearl reconditioning standard / NETA MTS-1997 specifies 15 kV testing on equipment with a maximum voltage rating of 35 kV and above. Motors tested to NETA ATS 2007 with 34,500 V or above on their name plate also require testing at 15kV.
