Partial Discharge Monitoring
DMS PDMG-RH System
Utilizing advanced UHF technology, the PDMG-RH system, a member of the highly successful PDMG-R family, is designed for GIS installations. It collects PD data from UHF sensors (couplers) installed on the GIS and transmits the information to software for automatic interpretation and analysis by Expert Software, allowing incipient faults to be avoided and the condition of the long term health of the insulation system to be simply and effectively monitored over the life of the GIS.
QCM-PPDM System
A self sufficient and portable PDM system for rapid monitoring and analysis of partial discharge in
gas insulated switchgear (GIS) and power transformers. The system is field operated, touch screen based and gives engineers the tools required for diagnosing partial discharge with limited or no access to the main PDM infrastructure.
