  1. High Voltage Subsea Cable Systems at the Tony Davies High Voltage Laboratory Laboratory Overview The Laboratory was constructed on its current site in 1991 with funding from STC Submarine Cable Systems We undertake a range of Research, Testing and Consultancy work across a variety of HV Systems Seven academic staff, possessing a wide range of high voltage expertise, are based in the laboratory Alongside our high voltage facilities we have a fully equipped HV workshop Cable System Testing We regularly test high voltage products on behalf of UK/EU based manufacturers A wide range of tests can be performed on cable systems (both land and submarine), including withstand tests, impulse voltage tests (lightning and switching) and partial discharge tests Tests on cable accessories are also offered, including x-ray analysis to verify the integrity of polymeric cable joints. Experience in testing distribution, submarine fibre optic and neutrally buoyant cable systems and accessories such as joints and wet connectors Consultancy & Forensics Consultancy has always been a core element of our business, with staff involved in an array of projects both within the UK and overseas We regularly draw upon our analytical facilities to assist clients in forensic examinations, either for quality control or failure analysis purposes Work carried out in a range of environments from laboratory to cable ships to cable tunnels Research & Development Substantial breadth of research in cable systems, from blue sky to end application Significant work in the development and understanding of novel dielectric materials for both ac and dc application Use of novel techniques in cable system condition monitoring to make better use of online data Longstanding work in operational modelling and standards development in areas such as current rating We have a strong track record of working with industrial partners from manufacturers to transmission utilities Contact: Prof Paul Lewin Faculty of Physical and Applied Science pll@ecs.soton.ac.uk 02380 593586 www.highvoltage.soton.ac.uk
