HVPD-Mini™ Monitor

Combined 4-Channel PD Detector, Locator and Monitor

Product Overview

HVPD Ltd presents the latest addition to our range of Partial Discharge (PD) test and monitoring technology - the HVPD-Mini Monitor™ - the world's first PD Detector, Locator and Monitor. A unique combination of an integrated range of technologies for the insulation condition monitoring of medium voltage, electricity distribution plant.

The HVPD Mini Monitor™ - Portable is suitable for both short-term PD monitoring (of a few days) and medium-term PD monitoring (of up to a few months) of all types of MV plant. The HVPD Mini Monitor™ - Portable can be used in Phase 3 of the HVPD 4-Phase Integrated PD Test and Monitoring Solution.

Features

• Low-Cost 24/7 PD monitoring technology for MV cables, switchgear & other plant
• Incorporates up to 4x portable PD sensors - up to 4x HFCT for cable PD detection and up to 4x TEV sensors for 'local' plant/switchgear pd detection
• Measures and logs both cable PD and 'local' PD (magnitude & count)
• Stores up to 6 months of data on local 'flash' memory
• Generates a PD 'Criticality' measurement (0-100) with 7x colour-coded PD levels
• Downloads PD data every 30 mins via RTU SCADA and/or other comms systems
• Compact, lightweight and easy to set up unit for portable installations
• Incorporates 'Precedence Detector' functionality for cable & TEV PD signals to show 'which pulse came first' to provide directional data on the source of PD's detected.

Applications Testing

On-line 4 channel, condition monitoring device suitable for the on-line measurement and monitoring of Partial Discharge (PD) activity in medium voltage (3.3kV to 36kV) substations.

User Interface

The HVPD Mini Monitor™ has been designed with an easy-to-understand, intuitive user interface which allows the user to carry out both 'spot-tests' and extended monitoring.

The interface panel consists of 4x PD Level LED arrays for the TEV1, TEV2, CT1 and CT2. These 7-level LED arrays provide an instant measure (six times per second) of PD levels in the cable/plant to which the sensors are attached. This functionality is useful when the HVPD Mini Monitor™ is being set-up in the substation as it allows the user to quickly identify where the main source(s) of PD are when there are a number of cable circuits or switchgear panels in the substation.
