Fundamentals and applications of partial discharge diagnostics with the MPD series

Summary

Become familiar with the basic principles of partial discharge measurements using the MPD system. Learn to set-up and measure according to IEC 60270 in hands-on sessions on special training equipment. Get a systematic introduction to the interpretation of test results.

Objectives

• Measure partial discharges on high voltage devices with the MPD according to IEC 60270
• Monitor the quality of the production process by performing measurements on assembled parts
• Perform measurements to determine the insulation condition and identify fault types and fault location
