Dogged by decades of under-investment, grid operators are turning to smarter grid-enhancing technologies to predict potential failures before they happen, improve system reliability, and save on costs ...

For more than 50 years, companies have performed partial discharge (PD) testing on electrical assets as part of ongoing predictive maintenance programs. Data obtained through PD testing and monitoring ...

Electrical insulation is the cornerstone of high voltage system reliability, serving to impede undesirable current flow and thereby prevent catastrophic failures. Integral to the performance of ...

The research will be lead by an interdisciplinary team of academic experts in insulation system design and assessment, partial discharge detection and management, insulation health monitoring, ...

Partial discharge (PD) phenomena are in many cases the preliminary stage of a complete breakdown of the electrical insulation in high-voltage assets, which can lead to unplanned outages, high repair ...

OMICRON’s MONCABLO is a customizable, permanently-installed system for the continuous on-line monitoring of partial discharge (PD) activity in the electrical insulation of high-voltage (HV) cable ...

Over the years, Hendrix has maintained that porcelain insulators (and porcelain spacers) should not be used with covered conductor. This is due to the dielectric incompatibility between the two ...

How EMI testing can provide a condition assessment of an entire system. A look at EMI receivers. How EMI helps with partial-discharge testing. Electromagnetic-interference (EMI) diagnostics is defined ...

The Electrical Machines and Drives group has state-of-the-art facilities and tools for modelling, designing, prototyping and testing electrical machines and drives systems for safety critical ...
