Partial Discharge (PD) Testing and Monitoring to Support Asset Reliability
The reliability of critical assets is crucial to maintain, protect and increase production revenue, whilst minimising operational and maintenance costs as well as downtime.
Our PD test and monitoring systems help oil and gas operators keep their production operations up and running, by providing the best early warning indicator of electrical insulation deterioration in MV and HV networks. This includes motors, generators, variable speed drive machines, switchgear, cables, and transformers.
HV Testing throughout Asset Service Life with our Range of Test Services
- Turnaround service to give the insulation of your rotating machines a thorough health check.
- Reactivation services offered to ensure the safe energisation of inactive HV assets.
- Dedicated Test Services for On-line and Offline condition assessment.
Continuous PD Monitoring to Evaluate Insulation Condition in Service
- HVPD Kronos® provides immediate notification of concerning insulation degradation in critical HV assets on the network.
- Connect to any existing pre-installed PD couplers in rotating machines.
- Collates insulation condition for all monitored assets on user interface.
- Integrates with SCADA and cloud for remote access.
PD Monitoring for VSD Motors and Assets in Hazardous Areas
- Bespoke solutions to monitor HV motors driven by variable speed drives.
- Monitor motors in hazardous gas zone with PD sensors installed remotely at the central switchgear using a patented technique.
- Ex/ATEX rated monitors available.
Prepare for On-line Spot Testing and Monitoring with Permanent Sensor Installation
- PD sensors are installed to facilitate On-line PD spot testing and continuous monitoring.
- Installing sensors at the build stage, or during a planned outage, can avoid any future shutdowns for PD monitoring or testing.
- Ex/ATEX rated sensor options available.
