Partial Discharge Diagnostics and Monitoring Devices
Partial discharge (PD) activity is a reliable indicator of insulation condition in electrical equipment, as it is often a sign of insulation defects that can potentially cause dielectric failure. That is why PD is an important diagnostic parameter used to assess insulation condition during factory acceptance testing, on-site commissioning and troubleshooting.
On-line partial discharge (PD) monitoring provides you with continuous insulation condition status while electrical equipment is in operation and under the influence of deteriorating forces.
Petrotec, in partnership with Omicron, provides advanced and user-friendly offline/on-line PD diagnostics and monitoring solutions for Electrical Equipment. These systems allow trending and assessment of PD activity over time, enabling early detection of insulation issues and supporting condition-based maintenance strategies for enhanced reliability and asset longevity.
Petrotec is the authorized partner for Omicron products in Qatar
