partial discharge inspection
preventing disruption to your power distribution system
Partial Discharge Testing. Partial discharge occurs frequently in power distribution systems and is a spark or discharge that bridges the insulation between two electrodes. It can cause rapid, progressive deterioration of components, ultimately leading to flashover and failure. Failure of medium and high voltage power systems can be disastrous, causing widespread damage across the system.
Partial discharges can be detected as:
Evidence of any of these emissions signal that the system is deteriorating and may be headed for failure. Therefore, frequent partial discharge inspections are recommended.
there are two main technologies for detecting partial discharge:
Partial Discharge Testing Equipment
We use the best equipment available to test your power distribution systems for partial discharge.
The UltraTEV Plus+™ is the industry-leading instrument to assess substation asset condition, providing low cost combined with ease-of-use and flexibility. The UltraTEV Plus+ combines both ultrasound and TEV detection methods in one unit, giving you peace of mind that any partial discharge faults are sure to be picked up.
The UltraTEV Plus+ provides feedback on the state and health of the electrical equipment, with an assessment on the severity of any detected partial discharge.
Viewsafe is the ultimate system for the safe condition monitoring and maintenance of live electrical switchgear assets. Complete Thermal Imaging, Ultrasonic Partial Discharge, Visual inspection as well as gain CO2 Emergency access when required.
