Abstract
Prior study has shown that quantifying performance of cables operational under a wide range of gas pressures, based on partial discharge inception voltage in relation to its design, is feasible. However, inception of partial discharges occur at weakest spots, of which the occurrence has a stochastic nature. This raises the question on the reproducibility of the methodology. Multiple cables of the same type are tested as well a single cable multiple times. Analyses of variance is used to evaluate the reproducibility and in some cases a significant difference is found. Besides reproducibility, test factors like method of voltage application may affect results and is investigated as well.
