Feature of PDCOM ABB Partial Discharge Monitoring
- Continuous and real-time monitoring of switchgear partial discharge diagnostics
- Phase Resolved PD (PRPD) diagram (actual and historical) displayed on SWICOM and exportable
- Direct measurement technique to achieve higher sensitivity
- Interface to existing capacitive couplers under use for voltage indicator systems (VIS)
- Long-range measurement across multiple cubicles (up to 10)
- Calibration to increase the accuracy of measurements and KPIs
- Frequency band tuning to increase sensitivity
- Line voltage measurement to acquire phase information
- Three-phase acquisition and identification of problematic phase
- Tested according to standard procedures based on IEC 60270
- Easy to install in low voltage auxiliary compartment
- Very compact and DIN rail-mounted
