Análisis de los aspectos técnicos de aplicación y ensayos previos a la puesta en servicio de instalaciones eléctricas subterráneas de la Empresa Eléctrica Azogues C.A.

Abstract

he correct operation of underground electrical systems throughout their useful life depends largely on the installation, acceptance and maintenance field tests. The tests for the acceptance and commissioning of underground electrical systems in Empresa Eléctrica Azogues C.A., have been developed by means of different technical criteria, which are analyzed in this work. A description of the characteristics of the cables used in distribution systems, constructive aspects, types of failures, and the review of regulations, guides and technical data of cables are carried out. The criteria for testing insulation resistance in cables are presented, and with this information, the analysis of the data collected by EEACA is developed. The results of the tests are contrasted with the reference values of IEEE, ANSI/NETA standards. A manual is prepared for the execution of acceptance tests for cables (insulation resistance), and conclusions and recommendations are presented according to the results of the analysis.
