  • ▸ Agilent 33500B waveform generator

7.1 · Method

Stepped frequency sweep from 1 MHz to 30 MHz in 1 MHz steps on two-wire test cables, comparing HF voltage with and without Denka® Platinum Plates fitted.

f = 1 → 30 MHzΔf = 1 MHzn = 302-wire test cablewith / without plate

7.2 · Results

Broadband HF voltage attenuation was confirmed across 1–30 MHz. Attenuation increased with frequency, reaching 13–15% (≈1.2–1.4 dB) per Denka® Platinum Plate in the 25–30 MHz band.[30]

Only the 25–30 MHz band value is reported numerically. Lower bands showed smaller attenuation increasing with frequency; no per-step values are published here.

7.3 · Laboratory scope notes

SCOPE
Tests characterise HF voltage attenuation on two-wire test cables; they do not by themselves measure plant-level energy savings.
SCOPE
Plant-level energy outcomes are site-specific and are established separately through IPMVP Option B/C measurement and verification.
