Partial discharge diagnostics on MV and HV cables with the MPD series
Summary
Become familiar with the basic principles of partial discharge measurements applicable for cables using the MPD 800 system.
Learn to measure and locate partial discharge activity on cables with hands-on sessions on a 15 kV medium voltage cable. Get a systematic introduction to the interpretation of test results.
Objectives
- Measure and locate partial discharges on medium voltage and high voltage devices with the MPD 800
- Learn to use time-domain reflectometry and time of flight to locate PD in cables
- Perform measurements to determine the insulation condition and identify fault types and fault location
