PD investigation May 1st 2010 New from EA Technology is a
powerful, versatile portable system for
investigating and recording Partial
Discharge (PD) activity in live MV
and HV assets. Called the UltraTEV
Locator, the dual probe instrument
features six different sensor
technologies to detect and gather
information about PD activity, which
EA Technology says is a factor in 85%
of disruptive substation failures.
Each of the UltraTEV Locator's
probes use ultrasonic and Transient
Earth Voltage (TEV) sensors to locate
and measure PD activity both on the
surface of assets and internally. PD
activity in cables is measured using a
plug-in Radio Frequency Current
Transfer (RFCT) sensor. More articles from E A Technology Group: |
