The PD Alarm is an asset mounted device for indicating the presence of partial discharge in high voltage switchgear, ring main units (RMUs) and dry type transformers. Designed for use in small substations, the instrument can activate local and remote alarms in addition to local indication.
Key Features
The ASM-Remote is a PD monitoring system designed for application on critical EHV and distributed assets, where the monitoring point could be many hundreds of meters or tens of kilometers apart. Fiber linked monitoring points transmit PD data over long distances to the main monitoring unit, which then processes the data and displays the results on a secure customer web front end.
Benefits of ASM-Remote
Web Based Analysis
A client specific secure website is used for the review and analysis of individual asset conditions. This powerful tool allows users to drill down from a basic condition overview to highly detailed data, including sampled PD wave shapes when expert interpretation is required.
The ASM-P is a Portable PD Monitor for cables, switchgear and other high voltage assets. The ASM-P can be configured with up to 32 PD sensor channels. If excessive discharge is detected, the ASM-P raises an alarm that can be configured either locally or by email. This enables the long-term assessment of plant conditions to be carried out quickly and easily, from any remote computer.
Partial discharge data is automatically collected from the ASM-P and is stored on a central database and is hosted by IPEC. Customers have direct password-protected access to this data via the Internet, allowing them to browse the data and analyse plant condition from any PC.
Condition information presented like this can be used for targeting scheduled maintenance work before the failure happens, improving network reliability and prioritising asset replacement.
Based on the magnitude of activity levels recorded and the trend in that activity, a ‘League Table’ is automatically generated once every 24 hours. This table gives a clear and quantitative representation of the condition of monitored high voltage assets at any given moment.

IPEC’s UHF (Ultra High Frequency) sensors is used to detect PD in EHV cable terminations, GIS (Gas Insulated Switchgear), GIL (Gas Insulated transmission Lines) & GIT (Gas Insulated Transformers). The sensors pick up signals in the UHF range (200MHz-2.5GHz) and are mounted against the insulating barrier spacers that separate components of the HV asset. The sensors work with multiple IPEC monitoring systems.
Sensors are installed differently depending on the asset manufacturer and model and accessibility to insulating sections, gaskets, UHF windows, and accessibility. Please contact IPEC for specific applications
PD-SGS is a dual transducer PD detector for Switchgear. The instrument detects TEV signals generated by internal discharge as well as acoustic discharge generated by surface tracking or corona.
Partial Discharge activity inside metal clad high voltage plant induces small voltage impulses called Transient Earth Voltages on the surface of the metal panels. TEVs travel around the surface to the outside of the switchgear, where they can be picked up externally using the PD-SGS detector.
Defects on the surface of high voltage insulators are prone to a phenomenon known as surface tracking. Tracking causes carbon deposits that build up over time, ultimately leading to flashover and insulation failure. The PD-SGS is highly sensitive to the ultrasonic emissions produced by tracking and enable the onset to be detected before insulation failure.
PD-SG1 is used to detect, verify and locate PD activity in switchgear. The unit offers both TEV detection for internal discharge and ultrasonic detection for surface tracking and corona.
PD Detection Partial Discharge activity inside metal clad high voltage plant induces small voltage impulses TEV (Transient Earth Voltages) on the surface of the metal cladding. TEVs travel around the cladding surface to the outside of the switchgear panel where they can be picked up externally using CC-TEV transducers.
The PD-SG1 has three modes: Level Mode, used to detect presence of both TEV and ultrasonic activity; Cycle Mode, Phase Resolved Partial Discharge Display (PRPD) enables the user to verify PD activity is genuine and not from electrical noise interference before taking further remedial action; Precedence Mode, dual sensor precedence allows users to pin-point the source of PD activity.

The PD Detector is highly sensitive to the ultrasonic emissions produced by tracking and enable the onset to be detected before insulation failure.
Parabolic Reflector is an ultrasonic sensor for use when detecting partial discharge activity on exposed insulating surfaces. The reflector increases the sensitivity of the sensor allowing detection to be effective at up to 25m. It is commonly used in outdoor switchyards to detect surface discharge on string and post insulators, sealing ends and other exposed equipment.
Use of Parabolic Reflector
With the Parabolic Reflector connected to the PD-SGS, the reflector should be pointed at the HV equipment being inspected.
Look through the view finder with both eyes open and line up the red dot visible through the view finder with the centre of the inspection area.
The PD-SGS instrument should be operated in AE Mode (See PD-SGS Operation Manual) and it will register a dB reading on the user display. It will also generate an audible output according to the level of activity detected.
It is recommended that when using the Parabolic Reflector out of doors, the head phones are worn in order to minimise interference from outside noise sources.
Owing to the nature of acoustic PD detection and natural variations caused by environmental conditions, it is recommended that PD levels identified are appraised according to their relative values when compared with other similar plant and not in absolute terms.
HFCT 100 PD Sensor is a high frequency current transformer specifically designed for the passive detection of PD in HV and EHV cable circuits.
Partial Discharge activity in solid high voltage insulation induces small high frequency currents in the earth conductor of the electrical system. These impulses travel along the equipment earth to the substation earth. Using a high frequency current transformer, they can be detected as they pass through the CT.
The HFCT100 has a split core ferrite to allow retrospective fitting to earth straps without the need for disconnection. Its larger internal diameter makes it ideal for HV and EHV applications. The durable body has a hinge and a quick release latch making use quick and easy. The CT is constructed with an aluminum body to provide RF shielding and improved performance in noisy environments.
This transducer is ideal for all core, earth and neutral PD monitoring applications.
HFCT 48 PD Sensor is a high frequency transducer designed specifically for picking up partial discharge signals.
Partial discharge activity in solid high voltage insulation induces small high frequency currents in the earth conductor of the electrical system. These impulses travel along the equipment earth to the substation earth. Using a high frequency current transformer, they can be detected as they pass through the CT.

Partial Discharge activity inside metal clad high voltage plant induces small voltage impulses (called Transient Earth Voltages) on the surface of the metal cladding. TEV’s travel around the cladding surface to the outside of the switchgear panel where they can be picked up externally using capacitively coupled transducers (see picture above).
The Capacitive Coupler sensor detects TEVs as they pass over the cladding of the high voltage plant. The very fast output signals are recorded by the IPEC ASM Monitor. The sensor is enclosed in a durable silicon body for added protection. The body has powerful magnets embedded within it for mechanical coupling to steel enclosures.
Depending on the switchgear type, more accurate signals can be obtained by embedding the sensors inside the switchgear to be monitored. Note: The sensor is applicable to multiple locations outside / inside switchgear panels, the exact ideal positioning depends upon the switchgear type.
Surface tracking and corona in air can seriously damage high voltage insulating surfaces in a way that will ultimately lead to flashover and complete failure of the insulator.
This discharge activity creates acoustic emission that can be detected using an ultrasonic sensor. The magnitude of the acoustic emission is indicative of the degree and severity of discharge activity.
The acoustic probe is designed for use on air insulated terminations or other HV components where there is a clear sound path between the electrically stressed insulation and the probe. The sensor is extremely sensitive and can detect activity below 10pC. The probe has a magnetic base to allow mechanical coupling to steel enclosures and a swivel head so the detecting sensor can be aimed directly at the HV point.
In many applications, there is no external line of sight to the HV points. The sensor can be safely embedded inside the HV equipment to give optimal detection capability.
ASM is a Partial Discharge monitor for permanent testing of cables and switchgear. The latest ASM model has been upgraded offering fast data acquisition, and analysis. IPEC’s PD Monitoring system technology is installed in more substations than any other online PD monitoring system.
