PDTD60-2 Partial Discharge Diagnostics System

The Partial Discharge Diagnostic System PDTD60-2 (in combination with a VLF generator) enables comprehensive diagnosis with sinusoidal output voltage with constant frequency, which is a prerequisite for the comparison of PD and TD measurement results of cables with different lengths. Load-dependent and, therefore, constantly changing measurement frequencies offer no basis for this. The sine wave output voltage is the only described VLF voltage form in IEEE 400.2-2013 for partial discharge and tan delta measurements and provides clear procedures and quality control procedures. The comprehensive monitoring and diagnostics software b2 Suite® makes the diagnostic process easier. The software also quickly processes data and can be retrieved at any time.
