Partial Discharge: A localized dielectric breakdown in an insulating material, which occurs at imperfections or defects, potentially leading to long-term degradation.

For more than 50 years, companies have performed partial discharge (PD) testing on electrical assets as part of ongoing predictive maintenance programs. Data obtained through PD testing and monitoring ...

Industrial, commercial, medical, and academic institutions face several challenges in maintaining medium- and low-voltage electrical systems. These systems are counted on to distribute reliable power ...

The MPD 600 Partial Discharge Analysis System from Omicron is a high-end, high-precision, modular acquisition and analysis toolkit for detecting, recording, and analyzing partial discharge events in ...

OMICRON’s MONTESTO 200 combines on-line partial discharge (PD) measurement and temporary on-line PD monitoring functions into one portable system. The IP65 rated MONTESTO 200 can be used both indoors ...

Insulation faults are a major cause leading to the eventual breakdown and failure of assets, such as power transformers, motors and generators, as well as switchgear and power cables. Partial ...

The research will be lead by an interdisciplinary team of academic experts in insulation system design and assessment, partial discharge detection and management, insulation health monitoring, ...

OMICRON’s MONCABLO is a customizable, permanently-installed system for the continuous on-line monitoring of partial discharge (PD) activity in the electrical insulation of high-voltage (HV) cable ...

Surge partial discharge tests show if there are voids within the insulation, which could lead to failure of insulation in applications that involve variable frequency drive (VFD). At low voltage, ...

The EMI method is a surveillance technique that can assist in identifying insulation degradation and conductor faults, such as partial discharge (PD) and arcing.
