As underground cables are in service for years, it is necessary to carry out diagnostic test to rectify the possible problem that may occur in a cable so that precautionary action can be taken to avoid unnecessary in-service failure of the cable.

As most of distribution cables are long lengths, it becomes necessary to measure the tangent delta for these longer cables. In this paper, HFAC technique on longer length of good condition 11 KV power cables were used as samples to determine the tangent delta.
