What is partial discharge? Methods for measuring PD. How PD impacts high-voltage cables. Partial discharge (PD) is evidence of a degrading insulation system, which could trigger costly repairs and ...

Power cables are important assets in electric utility transmission networks for the reliable operation of power systems. To prevent catastrophic failures in underground cables and terminations, it is ...

Partial discharge (PD) is defined as a localized, high-frequency arcing that only partially bridges the insulation between multiple conductors or between conductors and the ground wall of an ...

Partial discharge (PD) measurement has been used for several decades to assess the condition of high voltage (HV) and medium voltage (MV) electrical apparatus. In the past, the application was mostly ...

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 ...

IXYS Integrated Circuits Division, a wholly owned subsidiary of IXYS Corporation, announced the immediate availability of the PLA192E and PLA193E, 600V, single-pole, normally open (1-Form-A) Solid ...

One year ago, KEMA Labs, the CESI Group TIC Division, embarked on a plan to renew its high voltage laboratory in Chalfont, Pennsylvania. This initiative aimed to enhance high voltage testing services, ...

Billerica, MA. Boston Semi Equipment (BSE), a global semiconductor test-handler company, announced that it has received a new order for its high-voltage partial-discharge (HVPD) solution on the Zeus ...

As of January 2020, Deutsches Institut für Normung (DIN) V Verband der Elektrotechnik, Elektronik und Informationstechnik (VDE) V 0884-10:2006-12 is no longer an active certification standard for ...

Proper calibration of test instruments is crucial for meeting the stringent performance requirements of many equipment types. Calibration results must frequently meet national and international ...
