Partial discharge measurement

If they occur and go undetected can have very serious consequences. The key to preventing any possible problem is the detection and measurement. The partial discharge measurement and analysis can help avoid risks.

The main reason for which these partial discharges is the aging of insulation. Under high stress levels, it is likely that the electrical insulation damage. Therefore, tight control can save a lot of time and money. There are several reasons why partial discharges can begin. For example, the source of the incidence may be a cable or transformer. Determining the exact source of the phenomenon is crucial to implement corrective measures immediately. A commonly used method is through the detection coil at the end of the cable that allow accurate detection of the problem area. The data obtained with the help of measurements is usually processed immediately, in situ.

Partial discharges in motors and generators can help you locate the problem in time and avoid serious financial losses. Partial discharges may occur in various types of electrical equipment. For example, transformers are vulnerable to these types of events and can be permanently damaged if partial discharges are not detected in a timely manner.

Other pieces of electrical equipment such as high voltage bushings are also vulnerable to sudden disruptions, and regular monitoring of the hub is highly recommended. The switches are another type of electrical equipment which tend to fail after prolonged use. The failure usually occurs in the switch due to the high current through it. High voltage cables are also prone to failure, and that easily deteriorate with time. In order to properly maintain all of these pieces of electrical equipment must be carefully monitored partial discharge events at all times. When choosing a team of partial discharge detection, make sure you look closely at the product specifications to suit your requirements with Precision.

Specifications such as input power, range, memory or maximum pulse are very important. There is also a wide variety of special features to choose from, depending on the complexity of the task. When speaking of high voltage equipment must take into account the possibility of a rupture caused by partial discharges. If the problem remains unresolved deterioration will occur until the equipment is destroyed completely. The replacement of damaged equipment is very expensive and can be avoided by constant monitoring and comprehensive measurement of partial discharges.
