Product only available in USA and Canada.
The PD Detector is an on-line partial discharge (PD) spot tester for HV assets. The instrument detects TEV signals generated by internal discharge in Air Insulated Switchgear (AIS), acoustic discharge generated by surface tracking or corona, high-frequency signal generated by cable partial discharge, and ultra-high frequency signal generated by internal discharge in Gas Insulated Switchgear (GIS). A mobile device receives data directly from the instrument for display and synchronisation with a central server.
Advantages of the PD Detector
- Rapidly survey the whole substation – detects MV and HV problems before they occur
- Remote Data Storage – ensure all data is recorded from each site test
- Trend – log the PD against individual assets and view data from each test ever conducted
- PRPD – Phase Resolved Partial Discharge (PRPD) can be displayed on the device or mobile app to help PD analysis
- Advanced Noise Separation – device detects PD in higher noise environments and automatically separate PD and Noise level, no more false positives
- Central data collection – all data stored on central server for analysis
