The PDS100 provides complete substation PD survey capabilities. By simply walking around HV apparatus, sources of PD and external interference can be detected and identified. Routine RFI surveying will assist in locating PD activity while the apparatus is still in service. Applications The PDS100 is an RFI surveying tool that is designed for use in a live substation. Without the need for outages or special connections, the unit can detect partial discharge (PD) in just a few seconds thus making it an ideal tool for a condition based maintenance (CBM) program. Whole substations can be surveyed and analyzed. The PDS100 is the perfect tool to detect and locate sources of PD. In the tool box for each service team The PDS100 instrument is ideal to use on a daily basis or during routine substation inspections together with other methods like infrared scanning. The PDS100 should be a part of the basic tool box for all service and test teams. User-friendly The PDS100 is a rugged, light-weight and powerful high-tech instrument with a big display and large soft key buttons. The instrument is easy to use and the software enables the operator to record and analyze the PD signals and make decisions for further actions. Technology The instrument searches for PD in the radio frequency area. Harmful PD will reveal itself by the electromagnetic energy emitted from the area where the activity is. The PDS100 captures the electromagnetic energy in the RF spectrum and displays a "footprint" of the RF interference from partial discharge causing the radiation.
