PDS – Partial Discharge Scanner

Description

Partial Discharge – Portable Scanner

Online partial discharge detection on underground cable accessories and equipment for security/maintenance purposes. This equipment is perfect for a high voltage predictive maintenance program. The PDS is very accurate in detecting partial discharge on cable joints (XLPE/EPR type), switchgear, elbows, Cable Terminations and more.

The PDS indicates the intensity of the partial discharges, converting the electrical charge units (pC) into decibels (dB). Thus, the reading is kept as a simple intensity level indication, proportional to the probability of a fault’s presence in the tested joint.
