Partial Discharges in power transformers can be pinpointed using the AE-150 and associated Mirador Tx software. Also, Partial Discharges can occur on external components such as bushings an generate electric arcs. These electric arcs also create ultrasounds that can be detected externally using our ULD-40 Ultrasonic Detector.
Application and Operation Powers transformers are critical to Transmission and Distribution substations. In fact, losing a unit can have a major financial consequence. To protect your investment, use Acoustic Emission Testing. This technique is superior to electric methods for on-site tests. (more)
