Partial Discharge Testing
When an electrical failure happens, the results can be catastrophic. Most electrical failures occur because of insulation breakdown due to small electrical sparks known as partial discharge. Partial discharge (PD) testing and monitoring provide early warning of impending failure. Through data collection and analysis, you are able to make strategic decisions about repairing or replacing your electrical equipment.

Partial discharge (PD) testing provides critical information about the quality of cable insulation and its impact on your critical facility. If your medium- and high-voltage cable system has voids, gaps, or other defects, it’s vulnerable to PD. Left unchecked, these small electrical sparks can erode the insulation, eventually leading to unplanned outages. PD testing for cables helps you prioritize your maintenance resources and repair or replace cables before this failure occurs.
Partial discharge (PD) testing plays a critical role in the health of your electrical assets. But some equipment is hard to access or unsafe to open while energized, making testing a challenge. With permanently mounted sensors, it’s possible to conduct online partial discharge (OLPD) testing without exposing workers to danger or shutting down your critical facility. Testing is safer and more efficient, and you get the critical information you need to optimize your electrical assets.
