There's no such thing as a 'negative voltage' in the 'polarity' sense, only in the 'direction' sense. So what exactly are you asking?

How do you test the 11KV HT cables?

The test equipment used to test high voltage cables is a hi-pot test where a high DC voltage is a applied to the cable. This voltage can be from 150% to 200% of the working voltage of the cable.See related links below.


When doing an insulation resistance test on an electrical circuit do you test at 500v dc or 500v ac?

dc insulation test = 2 * operating voltage +1000V ac insulation test = 2* operating voltage impedance of long wires or cables make ac testing sort of impractical dc test will never be lower than 1000V


Why do conduct the pressure test in power transformers?

to check the leak in th transformerAnswerThe term, 'pressure test', has nothing to do with 'pressure'. It is a test in which the integrity of the insulation of an electrical component is tested by applying an over-voltage across it for a specified length of time. Pressure tests are conducted prior to commissioning high-voltage equipment.The applied voltage is a DC voltage, and its magnitude, and the duration of the test, depends upon the voltage rating of the component being tested. It is often necessary to perform more than one test, depending on the configuration of the component being tested -e.g. line-to-line, line-to-earth, etc. The test is not intended to break down healthy insulation.In the case of a transformer, a pressure test is conducted to ensure the integrity of the inter-winding insulation, and between the windings and earth. Transformer oil is also subject to independent pressure testing, but this is normally conducted in a workshop or laboratory,


How do you meg a three phase padmount transformer?

Three-phase, pad mounted, transformers are normally 'pressure tested' i.e. subjected to a DC over-voltage for a specific period of time, using high-voltage test equipment rather than a megger as a megger's output voltage is usually far below the voltage-levels required for testing such transformers. The voltage/duration is in accordance with the transformer's relevant specifications which takes into account its windings' rated voltages. Pressure testing is performed in factory/workshop and after installation before commissioning.

How do you test a diode bridge?

How to test a diode bridge ? Diode bridge is a device is used to convert an AC signals (say AC voltage) to DC output (say DC voltage). So, to test it, you can apply a AC voltage v = Vm Sin (wt) at its 2 inputs and measure DC output voltage Vdc.


Why is a high dc voltage applied to a transformer for testing?

How can you test a battery?

You can test a battery by using multimeter. Set the multimeter to the DC voltmeter setting and then place the leads of the multimeter across the leads of the battery. the multimeter will have a readout of the voltage.


How dc voltage changes into ac voltage?

yes it is possible.we can convert dc into ac using inverter.this inverter is diff than our home inverter or using commutator.
