Jorge Rivera of IEEE

Topic:

Unlocking the Power of Online Partial Discharge Inspections

 Exploring Ultrasonic, TEV, UHF, and HFCT Technologies and the crucial role of frequency lock.

Join us for an engaging exploration of Partial Discharge (PD), a condition that can lead to premature failure of medium and high voltage electrical equipment and cables.  Over the past 40 years, detection methods like airborne Ultrasound, TEV, UHF, and HFCT have evolved significantly.  This presentation will spotlight the latest advancements in online PD test instruments, emphasizing how features such as frequency lock elevate interpretation accuracy, and include case studies.  Don't miss this dynamic presentation which will provide valuable insights as we compare available detection methods and how they may complement your infrared inspections.
