Partial Discharge Tester (Dry Type)
-
Partial Discharge testing is a way of detecting voids or imperfections in insulators that would lead to overheating and breakdown under normal operating conditions. Due to the nature of the signal being measured, this test is very susceptible to electronic and RF noise and a proper corona-free properly isolated test chamber is required.

Partial Discharge
-
Partial discharge (PD) is a local electrical discharge that occurs in imperfections or inhomogeneities. The partial discharge measurement is a so-called “non destructive test” to determine the quality of insulating materials. On the contrary of pure high-voltage test, th test item is not pre-damaged at low PD levels.

Partial Discharge Testing Equipment
AR700
-
PD Defect Location in High-Voltage Equipment Insulation by Acoustic Sensors To act on deteriorating insulation the source of PD must be known.The insulation defects produce partial discharges, which emits electrical impulses, radiation of electromagnetic waves as well as acoustic signals.The AR700 measures acoustic signals with multiple sensors spread over the transformer. Then the software determines the failure location using the time difference of all incoming signals. Finally, these coordinates are shown in a 3D model of the transformer. AR700 device is used for measuring of acoustic signals on the external surfaces of gas-insulated breakers and substations, power transformers and other tank high-voltage equipment. The acoustic signals are caused by partial discharges in the insulation, which is the sigh of the defects.The advantage of “AR700” device is the quick installation of the acoustic PD sensors on the external surface of high-voltage equipment tank. The sensors have magnetic holder that is why there is no need to de-energize the equipment for the sensors installation. “AR700” device has 4 syn-chronic channels for acoustic signal measurement. This gives the possibility not only to find the defects in the insulation, but also to locate them. The location function of the “AR700”device is unique for acoustic devices.

Dielectric Loss Tangent Testing Instruments
-
Insulation materials in electrical equipment are used between a pair of electrodes; therefore it can be expressed as capacitors. Applying AC voltage to a capacitor with insulation materials causes an energy loss due to the leak current, the dielectric polarization, and the partial discharge. Because of this, the phase of the capacitor current is more delayed than that of a zero-loss current (reactive current) flowing in an ideal insulation material. The delay angle is called "Dielectric Loss Angle", and the tangent is "Dielectric Loss Tangent" (tanδ). Please refer to the technical guide explained in detail.
