Specialist in PD (Partial Discharge) detection equipment, EA Technology has added a new Contact Probe to its range. PD is a major cause of disruptive failures in high voltage switch gear. This activity comes in two forms, internal discharge and surface discharge.

Surface discharge, up till now, has been detected with a directional microphone as ultrasound, requiring a clear air path to obtain reliable readings. The new Contact Probe measures ultrasound through the surface of the switchgear. This means PD activity can now be detected quickly and safely before a disruptive failure occurs.
