UK HVPD PDS Insight™ Handheld Online Partial Discharge Tester Product Introduction:
• The new PDS Insight™ is the world's first handheld online partial discharge testing device with an asset management application—based on the OLPD Manager™ Android system
• HVPD introduces the PDS Insight™, the world's first handheld online partial discharge testing device with the asset management tablet application OLPD Manager™ app
• Our 20+ years of online partial discharge (OLPD) testing experience, combined with the flexible functionality of the Android™ operating system and a 10.1" tablet, creates a unique, world-leading testing device
• The PDS Insight™ measures the partial discharge level at 50/60Hz power frequency, the number of partial discharge pulses, and cumulative partial discharge activity, allowing the severity of the assessed partial discharge activity to be viewed
• By connecting three types of partial discharge sensors (TEV, HFCT, and AA), this device can perform online partial discharge testing on the vast majority of medium-voltage and high-voltage fields, including power cables, switchgear, rotating machines, and transformers
• All test data is stored in the PDS Insight™ handheld device and can also be "synced" via Bluetooth to the provided tablet, where it is analyzed and trended by the OLPD Manager™ app software
UK HVPD PDS Insight™ Handheld Online Partial Discharge Tester Product Features:
• Provides a 10.1" Android tablet with the OLPD Manager™ asset management application
• Includes three sensors: TEV, HFCT, and AA
• Detects electromagnetic radiation (TEV) caused by partial discharge in armored substations, current pulses (HFCT) generated by partial discharge in cables and their accessories, and ultrasonic radiation (AA) caused by gas-insulated switchgear and other substations
• Combines measurement of partial discharge level, number of partial discharge pulses, and cumulative partial discharge activity over a 50/60Hz power frequency cycle
• Use the built-in barcode scanner to scan barcode labels at points of attachment (POA) for fast and repeatable testing
• The device features a 3.5" color LCD display for data presentation
• Comes standard with BOSE® acoustic noise-canceling headphones (for listening to spatial acoustic partial discharge activity in noisy environments)
• Docking interface for charging and functional checks
• On-demand data storage for convenient and fast testing, and communication with the tablet via Bluetooth to transfer test data for analysis and trend identification
• The PDS Insight™ and OLPD Manager™ application are available in multiple languages: English, Chinese, French, German, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Korean, and Spanish
UK HVPD PDS Insight™ Handheld Online Partial Discharge Tester Product Advantages:
• Easy to use, lightweight, and portable.
• On the 10.1" Android tablet, an easy-to-use OLPD Manager™ application can be used to set up a test and analyze test data
• Rapid OLPD screening from medium-voltage and high-voltage data
• Provides an "early warning" based on "incipient" medium-voltage/high-voltage insulation faults, ensuring the safe and reliable operation of medium-voltage/high-voltage networks
• The device's barcode scanner automatically obtains the sensor ID from the POA label
• All data can be automatically synchronized between the handheld device and the tablet via Bluetooth
• Real-time viewing of partial discharge level changes using the PDS Insight's 3.5" color LCD display, and long-term partial discharge trend identification via the OLPD Manager™ application
• Optional outdoor parabolic receiver for detecting corona and surface discharge on outdoor high-voltage switchgear
• Includes the first year of calibration service
UK HVPD PDS Insight™ Handheld Online Partial Discharge Tester Product Applications:
• Testing with the new PDS Insight and indoor acoustic detector
• Barcode scanning of point of attachment (POA) labels
• OLPD online partial discharge screening of outdoor high-voltage substations using the extended parabolic receiver
