Assets
Underground Power Cables
Cables are the most extensively used assets in medium and high voltage (MV/HV) networks, making their failure a major cause of system-wide downtime and disruption. Cable accessories—such as joints and terminations—are the most vulnerable points in the cable system and require continuous monitoring for reliability.
HV GIS
In gas-insulated switchgear (GIS), partial discharge defects can arise from voids or de-laminations within barrier insulators, as well as from floating metallic particles and sharp protrusions on conductors. These defects compromise insulation integrity and can evolve into critical failures if not detected early. Regular PD monitoring is essential for identifying such issues and ensuring long-term reliability of GIS systems.
HV Oil Filled Power Transformer
Transformers are among the most vital components in high-voltage power networks, and their reliable operation is essential for system stability. Online Partial Discharge (PD) monitoring provides early detection of insulation defects, helping prevent costly and catastrophic failures. Insulation breakdowns in large power transformers can lead to prolonged outages and pose significant safety risks to surrounding substation infrastructure.
Dry Type / Cast Resin Transformer
Dry-type transformers are relatively easy to test or monitor for partial discharge (PD), with an approach similar to that used for air-insulated switchgear. When PD occurs within internal components, it generates high-frequency signals that propagate along earthed metal panels to the equipment’s exterior. A TEV (Transient Earth Voltage) sensor placed on the outer surface can effectively detect these signals, enabling non-intrusive PD monitoring and early fault identification.
MV GIS Switchgear
When switchgear fails, it can impact the entire power network, leading to unplanned downtime and increased operational costs. To ensure reliability, specialized sensors and monitoring solutions are essential for assessing the condition of switchgear and its critical components, such as cable terminations. Continuous partial discharge monitoring enables early fault detection, helping to prevent failures and support predictive maintenance strategies.
MV AIS Switchgear
Air-insulated switchgear (AIS) is susceptible to various issues such as surface tracking, loose high-voltage contacts, and internal voids that can lead to partial discharge (PD) activity. PD can also develop in bushings, instrument transformers, and cable terminations within the switchgear assembly. Early detection of these defects through PD monitoring is crucial to prevent insulation breakdown and maintain safe, reliable operation.
Rotating Machines
Rotating Machines
Rotating Machines
Rotating machines are often among the most production-critical assets in an industrial network, and their failure can bring operations to a complete standstill. Common sources of partial discharge include voids, delamination in stator winding insulation, and slot discharges. If left unaddressed, these insulation defects accelerate aging and significantly increase the risk of failure—leading to costly downtime and loss of productivity. Continuous PD monitoring helps detect these issues early, enabling timely maintenance and extending machine life.
