What is VLF?
Very Low Frequency (VLF) refers to radio frequencies in the range of 3 kHz to 30 kHz. Because of their long wavelength, VLF waves can penetrate water and propagate long distances, making them useful for submarine communication. They are also used for time signals and geophysical research. VLF signals are subject to atmospheric noise and require large antennas for efficient transmission and reception.
What other technologies are related to VLF?
VLF Competitor Technologies
Tan Delta
Tan Delta testing is an alternative method for assessing insulation quality, providing similar information to VLF testing.
DC Hipot
No summary available
DC Hipot testing is a different approach to insulation testing, using DC voltage instead of AC.
Insulation Resistance
Insulation Resistance testing, often done with a megohmmeter, is another method to assess insulation integrity.
Power Factor
Power Factor testing, similar to Tan Delta, is a method for evaluating the condition of insulation in electrical equipment.
High-Pot
No summary available
High-Potential (Hipot) testing, in general, is a broad term for insulation testing, making it a competitor to VLF if used for similar purposes.
Doble
Doble instruments are often used for comprehensive electrical apparatus testing, including insulation assessment which competes with VLF testing.
Megger
Megger is a manufacturer of insulation testing equipment, including megohmmeters used for insulation resistance testing, making it a competitor.

VLF Complementary Technologies
ground fault detector
No summary available
Ground fault detectors are complementary because VLF testing can help identify insulation weaknesses that could lead to ground faults, which the detector can then sense during operation.
PowerDB
No summary available
PowerDB and similar database/software solutions help manage and analyze test data, including data from VLF tests, making them complementary.
IR camera
No summary available
IR Cameras can be used to identify thermal issues and potential problems during or after VLF testing, making it complementary.
