Particle Discharge (PD) Tester

The PDSurveyor™ family has been designed to carry out Partial Discharge detection by all operational staff entering the substation or facility. 'Look-see' PD tests can be made quickly and easily to scan large numbers of cables and plant items for PD activity as a prelude to using diagnostic PD test and/or monitoring technology.

With the recent addition of 3x new handheld PD screening units to our standard PDSurveyor™ offering, HVPD can offer solutions for testing all types of MV plant in the voltage range from 3.3 kV to 45 kV, as follows:

  • PDSurveyor™- suitable for cables and switchgear
  • PDS Air™- suitable for indoor and outdoor switchyards
  • PDS Rogowski™- suitable for machines with permanently installed Rogowski Coil sensors
  • Filter

UltraTEV Locator Partial Discharge Locator Kit The UltraTEV Locator Partial Discharge Locator is a partial discharge detection kit from EA Technology which locates, measures and records partial discharge activity (PD activity) in switchgear, transformers and MV Cables. The UltraTEV Partial Discharge Locator instrument combines the features of many PD detection instruments into one portable, easy-to-use kit. UltraTEV Locator Key Benefits  The UltraTEV partial discharge locator kit comprises a central unit with multiple sensors and dual probes, plus a range of accessories. The sensors measure environmental variables which are known to affect PD activity. Allows for Partial Discharge testing on MV cables using the RFCT sensor Test results are easy to interpret from the graphical display Easy-to-use touch screen menu.   UltraTEV Locator Kit Contents: TEV / Ultrasonic Probe TEV / Magnetic Probe Ultrasonic Contact Probe Flexible Sensor Non Contact Temperature Probe RFCT Peltor Neckband Headphones AC Reference Source Battery Charger & Carry Case

UltraMET Plus Ultrasonic Discharge Detector The UltraMET Plus Ultrasonic Discharge Detector Kit is a versatile ultrasonic detection kit from EA Technology. The UltraMET Plus Ultrasonic Discharge Detector provides instant indications of levels of surface partial discharge activity within MV switchgear, cable boxes etc. UltraMET Plus Benefits: Take multiple decibel readings of PD activity.

UltraTEV Partial Discharge Detector The UltraTEV Partial Discharge Detector Kit from EA Technology is a portable partial discharge detector which detects both surface and internal discharge activity within medium voltage equipment. Partial discharge activity causes insulation material to deteriorate and eventually leads to failure of MV equipment. With the UltraTEV Partial Discharge Detector, surface discharge is detected using an ultrasonic sensor and internal discharge is detected using an electromagnetic sensor which can detect transient earth voltages or TEV’s. The kit is used by both technical and non-technical staff. All tests are carried out without the need for an outage. UltraTEV Partial Discharge Detector Benefits Simple to use with minimal training required Lightweight and Rechargeable Improves operator safety Switchgear condition tested without the need for an outage Switchgear can be quickly checked before a switching operation UltraTEV Partial Discharge Detector Kit Contents Carry Case 230Volt Charger Prooving Unit Manufacturers Calibration Certificate

UltraTEV Plus Partial Discharge Detection Kits The UltraTev Plus range of partial discharge detection kits from EA Technology combines the features of the UltraMET Plus, UltraTEV Detector and the MiniTEV into one handheld portable instrument. The UltraTEV Plus detects and measures both surface and internal discharge activity within medium voltage equipment. Partial discharge activity causes insulation material to deteriorate and eventually leads to failure of MV equipment. With the UltraTEV Plus, surface discharge is detected using an ultrasonic sensor and internal discharge is detected using an electromagnetic sensor which can detect transient earth voltages or TEV’s. All tests are carried out without the need for an outage. UltraTEV Plus Benefits: Detects & measures PD activity with graphical display for both ultrasonic and TEV activity.
