ABB PDCOM Partial Discharge Monitoring

Contact us

Feature

  • 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 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
