TEV Antenna
-
TEV sensor is a partial discharge sensor whose working principle is based on a direct Capacitive coupling with a Switchgears earthed metal case. The two ends of TEV sensor can be coupled magnetically to virtually any opening on a metal Surface. It picks up the electric signal given by PD activity onto the two metallic surfaces. Thanks to its special design has high sensitivity, larger than other single ended TEV sensors. His compact and robust design (passive sensor) makes the TEV the optimal sensor for direct installation on medium voltage Switchgears.

Cable Diagnostic Tools
-
For non-destructive diagnostic testing to determine the quality of a cable’s insulation with minimal risk of failure, HVI recommends tan delta and partial discharge testing for valuable diagnostic data about cable insulation integrity. Both use a VLF source to perform elevated voltage, off-line testing. Tan delta testing measures insulation health, while PD identifies specific problem areas and assesses their severity.

Dielectric Loss Tangent Testing Instruments
-
Insulation materials in electrical equipment are used between a pair of electrodes; therefore it can be expressed as capacitors. Applying AC voltage to a capacitor with insulation materials causes an energy loss due to the leak current, the dielectric polarization, and the partial discharge. Because of this, the phase of the capacitor current is more delayed than that of a zero-loss current (reactive current) flowing in an ideal insulation material. The delay angle is called "Dielectric Loss Angle", and the tangent is "Dielectric Loss Tangent" (tanδ). Please refer to the technical guide explained in detail.

Partial Discharge
-
Partial discharge (PD) is a local electrical discharge that occurs in imperfections or inhomogeneities. The partial discharge measurement is a so-called “non destructive test” to determine the quality of insulating materials. On the contrary of pure high-voltage test, th test item is not pre-damaged at low PD levels.

Qualification and Quality Control Tests
Techsquare
-
New IEC standards, IEC 60034-18-41 and IEC 60034-18-42, have been issued to define the procedures for testing partial discharge inception voltage and the long-term performance (endurance) of Type I and Type II insulation systems used in rotating machines fed from voltage converters. Voltage impulse generators are required at least to test turn insulation, but they would be recommended for any testing under power electronics supply because of their capability to simulate the real electrical stress conditions. More generally, any type of electrical insulation system when subject to impulsive voltage waveform during life should be carefully evaluated in terms of partial discharge and endurance behaviour. This is why voltage impulse generators able to provide impulses with controlled amplitude and frequency are needed to face this new testing challenge.
