Both technologies are available in portable and permanent versions, depending on our customer's requirements.

With the addition of the new range of PD monitoring technologies to the HVPD's established PD surveying and 'spot-test' technology (including the handheld PDSurveyor™ PD Surveying Tool and the HVPD-Longshot™ Diagnostic PD Spot Tester HVPD can now offer technology to provide a complete solution for the on-line PD screening, diagnostic testing, pd site location and monitoring of mv and hv networks.

This HVPD range of PD technology has been incorporated into the cost-effective, HVPD 4-Phase Condition-Based Asset Management Solution which provides a process by which critical plant in any network can be identified, located, monitored and then managed so that any preventative maintenance can be carried out to prevent catastrophic insulation breakdown and plant failure.

HVPD now supply a complete range of On-line PD surveying technology, PD diagnostic 'spot-test', PD monitoring technologies and PD test services to the worldwide electricity supply industry. Our clients range from large, public electricity distribution companies (who require wide-area network PD testing and monitoring solutions) to industrial clients with small, contained medium voltage networks powering critical processes, ranging from offshore oil drilling platforms to internet data centres (who can require continuous, permanent PD monitoring solutions).
