Why Partial Discharge Monitoring
Partial Discharge (PD) generates small, transient arcs that can repeatedly occur within insulated materials, leading to the gradual deterioration of their physical and chemical properties over time. As insulation integrity is compromised, the risk of severe electrical faults increases, causing a major or complete breakdown of the transformer. Identifying potential weaknesses in PD activity before they escalate to critical issues, ensures the reliable performance of a transformer. Regular maintenance practices can only identify these precursors reactively, maximizing impacts on operational efficiency.
In contrast, predictive maintenance detects early signs of deterioration effectively, reducing unexpected downtime and extending the transformer lifespan.
Why Rugged Monitoring-
Rugged Monitoring offers tailored solutions for Partial Discharge (PD) monitoring of high-voltage systems with options for periodic and continuous online testing. Our real time solutions with IoT Sensor, edge devices and software provide insights about the PD activity in the transformers. Additionally, our Acoustic PD sensors provide early warnings of any incipient faults. All our sensors are non-invasive, enabling real-time continuous monitoring without disrupting transformer operations.
Our smart edge devices allow local data processing alongside remote monitoring capabilities, ensuring a thorough analysis of dielectric changes. They are also equipped with high-denoising capabilities with ultra-wide bandwidths, that facilitate automatic identification of critical PD issues.
Rugged Monitoring’s PD Monitoring system, empowers asset managers and engineers with enhanced transformer reliability and operational efficiency.
