OMICRON’s UHF 800 system ensures sensitive partial discharge measurements on gas-insulated switchgear (GIS). This video shows you how the UHF 800 PD measurement and analysis system is easily set up and used on GIS. UHF 800 measures PD in the ultra-high frequency (UHF) range from 100 to 2000 MHz to greatly minimize or eliminate interference from external noise in the testing environment – this is especially beneficial during onsite PD measurements. UHF 800 can be used for single-channel or synchronous multi-channel offline and online UHF PD testing on GIS.

Conventional on-site PD measurements, such as those specified by the IEC 60270 standard for high-voltage acceptance testing and troubleshooting, are challenging since they are often affected by noise in the surrounding environment. By comparison, PD measurements performed in the UHF range result in a very high signal-to-noise ratio to enable reliable measurement and analysis. This is because numerous sources of noise, such as mobile communications, radar and corona discharges, are transmitted predominantly in lower or quite narrow frequency ranges. UHF PD measurements in GIS therefore ensure optimal sensitivity with little or no interference from external noise.

OMICRON’s UHF 800 system can also be used for sensitive UHF PD measurements on oil-filled power transformers and high-voltage power cable terminations.

In this episode, guest experts Renny Vandewege, Vice President of Weather Operations at DTN, and Denton McGregor, Senior Reliability Center Manager at Black Hills Energy, discuss how fire-weather forecasting supported with advanced data intelligence is helping electrical utilities effectively plan their response before wildfires start and spread. They also offer practical tips for implementing fire-weather forecasting tools to take the guesswork out of wildfire prediction and resource allocation.

Also of interest: Earlier in our Episode Number 30 about fire mitigation at electrical utilities, our guest experts describe how the use of line control devices, such as reclosures, and the regular reliability testing thereof, enable technicians to respond quickly to downed power lines and avoid sparks in dry, windy conditions.

In this episode, OMICRON partial discharge experts Bogdan Gorgan and Patrick Zander discuss the advantages of using temporary online monitoring to trend PD activity and track developing insulation defects between diagnostic measurements. Specifically, they describe the importance of observing PD activity when electrical equipment is in operation. They also highlight the differences between PD monitoring and PD diagnosis and explain how they complement each other to assess the insulation condition of electrical assets.

In electrical substations of higher voltage levels, capacitor voltage transformers, also called CVTs, or CCVTs, can be found.

VOTANO 100 now uses a new method that can determine the capacitances C1 and C2 on all CVT designs, combining two variable-frequency measurements at low voltage. It injects a constant current into the secondary winding and measures current and voltage accordingly. The first measurement determines the frequency dependent short-circuit impedance including C2.

The second measurement determines the frequency dependent short-circuit impedance including C1 and C2.

From both measurements, C1, C2, the capacitive ratio Kc, and the total capacitance Cr can be calculated. This method for measuring the CVT capacitance is integrated as a new test in VOTANO 100. VOTANO 100 can measure both the capacitance and the accuracy of the CVT, which is ideal for diagnostic purposes.

We are all aware about the present and increasing risk of devastating wildfires all over the world, especially those recently experienced in Australia and the western United States. Prolonged dry conditions in these regions have greatly increased the risk of wildfires starting and spreading with alarming speed.

Wildfires cause not only massive destruction to the power system infrastructure, often that same infrastructure is discovered to be the initial source of the fire. After all, it only takes a spark in dry, windy conditions.

In this episode of Energy Talks, Robert Wang, Recloser Control Solutions Product Manager at OMICRON and Justin Henson, Distribution Line Technician Specialist at Pacific Gas & Electric Company, discuss how the reliable operation of recloser controls in the power grid plays an important role in wildfire mitigation at electric utilities. Justin also describes how PG&E implements its zero-tolerance policy for wildfire sparks caused by downed power lines.

Regular tests of inductive voltage transformers (VTs) and capacitive voltage transformers (CVTs) ensure reliable operation for both protection and metering purposes.

In this episode, OMICRON instrument transformer testing experts Thomas Bischof and Felix Feustel talk about how automated workflows and a new method for determining CVT capacitances with the same testing device help to make voltage transformer testing safer and faster than before.

This video shows a test of a 220 kV circuit breaker, which has four interrupters per phase and independent mechanisms, making it rather complex to test. Nevertheless, the used test equipment allows testing it in one go.

After explaining the single components of the test system, the video shows in detail how to set it up. Then all common tests are performed without any rewiring, including motor current, timing tests, motion measurements, contact resistance test, dynamic contact resistance test, and minimum pickup test.
