Why Partial Discharge Monitoring
Partial Discharge Monitoring is crucial in ensuring the reliability and lifespan of switchgear and its components. Partial discharge (PD) detection is an effective and established technique for locating possible faults and measuring insulation defects in high-voltage switchgear. If PD is present within the metal-enclosed switchgear, electromagnetic waves travel through the structure, creating a surface current in the metallic enclosure.
PD monitoring in real time continuously measures electromagnetic emissions from high to ultra-high frequency, allowing remote fault detection and automatic alarm triggering. By detecting emerging insulation problems early, PD monitoring aids predictive maintenance programs, reduces risk, and guarantees the safe and efficient operation of medium and high-voltage switchgear systems.
Why Rugged Monitoring-
Rugged Monitoring PD monitoring solutions are designed to be compatible with a broad variety of IoT sensors, Edge devices and software. This ranges from High-Frequnecy Current Transformer (HFCT) to Ultra High Frequency (UHF) sensors which make them versatile for various voltage classes and operating environments.
Rugged Monitoring’s advanced algorithms properly extract PD data from noisy environments, such as DC and PWM waveforms, without depending exclusively on phase-resolved patterns. Automated analysis detects PD sources, assesses risk levels, and aids proactive maintenance planning. Our solutions provide easy web-based data transfer for cloud integration, enabling residual life assessment, failure probability prediction, and effective asset management.We also offer customized solutions based on specific operating requirements and applications for GIS,AIS, and MV Panel.
