The aim of this paper is to show that Tan delta HFAC technique is applicable for longer cables. 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. One of the diagnostic testing techniques, known as Tangent Delta, is a method of testing cables to define the insulation condition of the underground cable. The phase shifts caused by the lossy current due to the existence of impurities in cable insulation is measured in this method. As most of distribution cables are long lengths, it becomes necessary to measure the tangent delta for these longer cables.
