**8. Conclusions**

In the past 20 years field testing experiences have been obtained with damped AC testing. For several years now, this technology has also been applied to testing submarine cables at o ffshore wind farms. Besides this, the basic aspects of failure risks of export and inter-array cables for o ffshore wind farms have been discussed in this contribution. The following conclusions may be drawn after-installation testing:
