Read about the Fundamentals of Partial Discharge Measurement
Did you know that partial discharge (PD) has become widely accepted as not only the predominant cause but also the best indication of defects and degradation in insulation systems that can lead to the eventual failure of electrical equipment? PD measurement is the most reliable and non-destructive method for assessing the insulation condition of electrical equipment.
We have over 20 years of experience in PD measurement on electrical equipment and components. We want to share our knowledge of this crucial diagnostic tool with you in our series of eBooks called the Fundamentals of Partial Discharge Measurement.
Get FREE unlimited access to our series of four eBooks, which guide you through the importance of PD measurement, how and when it is performed, as well as how to analyze and interpret the results to access the insulation condition of your electrical equipment.
Whether you are a beginner or an expert in the field of PD measurement and analysis, you are sure to discover practical and useful information for your work in this area.
Each of our eBooks on PD measurement is designed for you to read anytime and anywhere on your computer or favorite mobile device, such as a tablet or smartphone. They also contain videos to provide you with practical PD measurement tips.
PART ONE
The importance of performing PD measurements
In this eBook, you will learn about partial discharge (PD) – what causes it and how it is a reliable indication of developing defects in electrical insulation over time. You will also learn about the different types of PD and how they affect electrical insulation over time. Lastly, you will discover why it is crucial to regularly perform PD measurements in power equipment to assess insulation condition.
PART TWO
How and when to perform PD measurements
In this eBook, we provide you with recommendations about when and how often partial discharge (PD) measurements should be performed on power equipment to assess insulation condition. You will also get an overview about different PD measurement methods, setting up and calibrating PD measurements as well as how PD measurements are performed.
PART THREE
Performing PD measurements on electrical equipment
This eBook focuses on how partial discharge (PD) measurements are explicitly performed on rotating electrical machines, power transformers, power cables, and gas-insulated switchgear. You will learn about how PD measurements are set up and performed on each of these electrical assets. You will also discover when it makes sense to perform PD monitoring on each of these assets on a temporary or permanent basis.
PART FOUR
How to analyze and interpret PD measurements
In this eBook, you will learn about how to analyze and interpret the data you gather from performing partial discharge (PD) measurements. You will be presented with the common methods of PD analysis, including detecting the source, location and severity of PD activity in a wide variety of power equipment to assess whether a damaging defect is harming insulation condition.
