24-channel On-line Partial Discharge Monitor for Temporary Installation

The HVPD Kronos® Portable Monitor is an on-line Partial Discharge continuous monitoring system for short-term installation. This monitor is designed to be moved around the network for short-term On-Line Partial Discharge monitoring sessions of 1-3 months. It provides a diagnostic insulation condition assessment of in service plant, including switchgear, cables, transformers and rotating machines of 3.3 kV and above.
It can be used routinely or after a high PD level is detected with the PDS Insight™ or HVPD Kronos® Spot Tester. The system trends PD activity over time and detects any load variances and intermittent PD activity. Uniquely in the market, we provide a dedicated service contract in conjunction with the monitoring technology and HVPD Kronos® Ultimate Software to provide a comprehensive support to Condition-Based Management scheme.

Features

  • Suitable for short-term continuous monitoring of 1 to 3 months.
  • Supports Condition-Based Management schemes, reducing unplanned outages, downtime and maintenance costs.
  • The 24-channel HVPD Kronos® Portable Monitor captures six signal channels synchronously using its unique Smart Multiplexer.
  • With 24 sensor inputs, a single HVPD Kronos® Portable Monitor covers up to four HV motors/transformers together with the switchgear and feeder cables.
  • Generates a simple on-line Partial Discharge criticality number for the asset from 0-100% through benchmarking and trending with the central HVPD Database.
  • It is compatible with our range of on-line partial discharge sensors for all applications.

Benefits

  • HVPD Kronos® Portable Monitor can be moved around the network enabling fast deployment of the system while maintaining the full capacity of the continuous monitoring system.
  • It can be used for periodic monitoring of assets at-risk or to carry out short-term evaluations.
  • Synchronous data capture on multiple channels enables advanced OLPD identification and noise seperation.
  • A report is issued at the end of the monitoring period with asset management recommendations.
  • Comes with a specially designed, rigid carry frame for easier transport around the network.
  • Available for purchase or rental.
