SUMMARIZE
Partial discharge is a kind of pulse discharge, which will produce a series of physical phenomena and chemical changes such as light, sound, electrical and mechanical vibration in the interior and surrounding space of power equipment. These various physical and chemical changes accompanied by partial discharge can provide detection signals for monitoring the internal insulation state of power equipment. When insulation defects appear inside high-voltage electrical equipment, it will be accompanied by the generation of partial discharge signals. Through the detection and analysis of partial discharge signals, it can be judged whether there is a hidden danger of insulation inside the high- voltage electrical equipment, and the further expansion of potential accidents can be prevented.
PD3000 partial discharge monitor can be used in conjunction with UHF sensor, TEV sensor, Ultrasound sensor and online detection of partial discharge of high voltage equipment such as transformers, high voltage switchgear, GIS, and cable joints. Easy to carry, fast measurement, strong anti-interference ability, easy to use on site.

TEST PRINCIPLE
Built-in sensors (Ultrasonic and TEV)
There are two principles for partial discharge detection of switchgear: ultrasonic principle and transient earth voltage (TEV) principle. The built-in ultrasonic sensor and TEV sensor of this product are used to measure partial discharge of high-voltage switchgear. Front position, this part needs to be close to (ultrasonic measurement> or close to (TEV measurement) high-voltage switchgear during testing. Note that approaching and closeness are different, depending on which principle is used to test the switchgear.
Ultrasonic measurement
If you choose the built-in ultrasonic sensor to measure the partial discharge of the switchgear, you hardly need to do other operations or settings after starting up, Because the built-in ultrasonic sensor is selected by default after the product is turned on, the upper left of the screen will display which sensor is currently connected.
In the ultrasonic measurement mode, the measurement data is dBuv, because dBuV is a logarithmic function value based on 1uV, therefore, the measured data in the ultrasonic mode can be positive or negative. According to the processing capacity of the ultrasonic amplifier of this product, it can reach -6dBuV The test ranges to 68dBuV, the larger the negative value, the smaller the ultrasonic signal, the closer to Ouv, not negative! Usually the measured data in an interferencefree environment is between -6dBuV and odBuV.
Insulation condition of switchgear:
| Data | Definition |
|---|---|
| 6~0dBuV, no discharge sound | No partial discharge |
| 0 ~ 6dBuV, short discharge sound | Slight discharge, and attention should be |
paid to it later.
Above 6dBuV, have discharge sound| Obvious discharge, should be judged in
combination with TEV.
Note: The demarcation point (6dBuV) is slightly different in different regions, so it is recommended to use 6dBuV as the demarcation point, so that the operating status of the switchgear can be warned in advance.
TEV measurement
In the TEV measurement mode, the reference pulse count value P/Cycle is also required, and the pulse number and amplitude comprehensively measure the health of the switchgear.
When the environmental value is large, it is necessary to find out the interference source. The interference source of TEV is different from that of ultrasonic. Ultrasonic interference is generally limited to a limited space, while TEV interference affects the entire space through radio frequency, such as electric welding machines, frequency converters, walkie-talkies, Wireless broadcasting stations, etc. Compared with ultrasonic interference, such interference signals are sometimes difficult to avoid or clear, so it is recommended to use ultrasonic measurement when the environment (interference) value is detected to be large.
Insulation condition of switchgear:
| Data | Definition |
|---|---|
| The reading is | No partial discharge, Recheck once a year. |
| The reading is 20-29dB. | Slight discharge. |
| The reading is 29-40dB. | Moderate partial discharge should be reported and |
shorten the inspection cycle.
The reading is 40-50dB| Serious partial discharge should be reported and
shorten the inspection cycle, and be checked when power failure
The reading is 50-60dB.| Severe partial discharge, power outage and
maintenance as soon as possible.
Optional external sensors (AE, HFCT, UHF)
Contact ultrasonic sensor| AE measurement| For Transformers, GIS,
Motors, Frequency: 40 ~ 150kHz
---|---|---
High frequency transformer| HFCT measurement| For Cable Frequency: 1 ~ 30MHz
UHF sensor| UHF measurement| For GIS Frequency: 300-2000MH
Note:
All the above sensors are connected through the multi-function sensor extension port at the bottom of the host. When the sensor is connected through the same extension port, the host will automatically identify the sensor type, select the sampling channel of the corresponding frequency, and display the relevant parameters of the sensor on the top of the interface.
