Automated feature simplifies standard compliant PD measurement device performance

In this video, Burkhard Daniels, product owner for OMICRON’s MPD 800 partial discharge (PD) and analysis system, describes a new feature in version 1.50 of the system’s MPD Suite software, called the Performance Check Wizard that allows users to automate IEC 60270 standard performance checks on MPD 800 PD measurement devices. This new feature guides users through the performance check measurements, collects the data results, and compares them with results from previous years. The IEC 60270 standard, which forms the basis for most PD measurements, mandates that PD measurement devices undergo a performance check once per year. This check aims to ensure that the PD filters used in those measurement devices continue to operate correctly.

Learn about the importance of partial discharge testing (PD testing) on power transformers. Partial discharge is a major cause and reliable indication of developing insulation defects in power transformer bushings and windings, which can cause their eventual failure and costly outages. PD testing is an effective diagnosis method used to detect and localize insulation defects and to evaluate the overall insulation condition and risk of failure in power transformers during factory testing, site acceptance testing (commissioning), as well as in-service troubleshooting for effective maintenance planning. For highly reliable, industry-standard PD testing on power transformers, OMICRON recommends the MPD 800 universal partial discharge measurement and analysis system.
