On-line PD cable testing and mapping
for a light rail operator
A 33 kV XLPE cable system had been in
service for twelve months before faults
began to occur at cable joints. The HVPD
Longshot with PDMap detected
high-magnitude cable PD activity on
multiple circuits.
Out of more than one hundred 33 kV
circuits tested, signicant PD was
detected within six, putting them in the
Red condition category: Major concern,
locate PD and then repair or replace.
The sources of PD were mapped and
located to specic joints which were then
replaced and retested to verify that the
repairs were successful.
Case study
Switchgear PD monitoring for a
distribution utility customer
The HVPD Mini Monitor identied
rising PD levels in an 11 kV switchboard.
Transient Earth Voltage (TEV) sensors,
attached to the metal-clad switchgear,
identied surface discharge from two
panels. Intermittent PD activity between
5 a.m. and 9 a.m. was caused by the
formation of condensation on insulation
surfaces as the dew point was reached
(this would have been missed if PD
spot-tests had been carried out during
normal working hours). The client was
able to correct this issue cost-effectively
by installing temperature-controlled
space heating into their switchboard.

Benchmarking
Services
Expertise, training
and support for total
peace of mind
Site surveys
Many of our projects begin with carrying
out a test survey and engineering evaluation of our clients MV/HV networks with
asset management recommendations in
the site survey report.
Risk assessment
Continuous monitoring
Our 24/7 PD monitoring gives plant operators total peace of mind, with continually
updated measurement and analysis to
provide alerts and early warnings of
developing faults.
Asset performance information can be
accessed worldwide via the HVPD central
database with the Critical Condition
Benchmarking (CCB).
Data analysis
Our highly-trained team of UK and
overseas engineers are available to our
customers for post-purchase support,
providing vital data analysis and advice
via email and telephone.
Diagnostic services
Live plant PD testing, diagnostics, and
extended monitoring without any costly
interruption to service.
Off-line testing: HVPDs factory
acceptance PD testing, VLF testing, and
on-site commissioning tests can detect
any problems with plant before they are
put into service.

Software
PDGold v7
PDMap
Optional expansion software for the HVPD
Longshot providing PD site location on
cables of up to 10 km in length.
Used with HVPDs Mini Pulse Generator
and Portable Transponder accessories at
cable terminations, PD sites are accurately
located along the length of power cables by
measuring pulse travel times.

Sensors
HFCT
High Frequency Current Transformer
Portable or permanent sensors for the
measurement of cable PD and/or remote
monitoring of rotating HV machines. These
can be attached around the earth strap
connection and/or around the insulated core
of the cable (depending on the type of cable
termination). Environmentally screened,
high current, and Ex/ATEX (explosive
environment) versions are also available.
HVCC
High Voltage Coupling Capacitor
This PD sensor coupler is used for the
measurement of PD within rotating HV
machines and is designed for permanent
installation inside the machine cable/terminal box. Ex/ATEX (explosive environment) versions of this sensor are also
available.
TEV
Transient Earth Voltage
For the detection of local PD. Can be
installed on both the inside and the
outside of the metal-clad switchgear
housing. They can also be used to detect
PD in transformer and machine/terminal
cable boxes.
AA
Airborne Acoustic
Suitable for the detection of airborne
PD signals with line of sight to the PD
source. Installed inside the switchgear
to provide maximum sensitivity.
