Wuhan, China – Wuhan Huayi Power Technology Co., Ltd. (Wuhan Huayi) is pleased to announce the successful shipment of its flagship 80kV VLF (Very Low Frequency) High Voltage Generator to a prominent power engineering services provider in the United Kingdom.
This delivery underscores Wuhan Huayi's growing influence in the European high-voltage testing market and its commitment to supporting infrastructure reliability through advanced diagnostic technology.
Taming the Grid: Why 80kV VLF is the UK Standard
The UK's electrical grid, characterized by aging assets and rapidly expanding renewable energy networks, requires robust testing solutions that are both precise and portable. Traditional DC Hipot testing is known to damage modern XLPE cables, making VLF AC testing the mandatory standard for commissioning and preventive maintenance.
Our 80kV VLF Hipot tester was selected by the UK client for its ability to handle long-distance cable runs with high capacitance, providing a stable 0.1Hz sinusoidal waveform that meets the most stringent international standards (including IEEE 400.2).
Engineering for Portability and Precision
The 80kV unit delivered features Wuhan Huayi's latest digital frequency conversion technology. Key advantages that won over the UK engineering team include:
Miniaturized High-Voltage Design: Despite its 80kV output, the system remains field-portable, ideal for remote wind farms and tight urban substations.
Full Automation: One-button operation with automated ramping, timing, and data logging.
Superior Safety: Integrated over-voltage and over-current protection with a rapid response time of < 10 ms, ensuring the highest level of operator safety.
Beyond equipment supply, Wuhan Huayi provides comprehensive technical documentation, remote operational support, and a robust warranty program for its international partners. As the UK continues to upgrade its power networks, Wuhan Huayi stands ready to provide the specialized HV tools needed to ensure a stable and sustainable energy future.
