Partial Discharge Monitors
ASM Systems for Permanent PD Monitor
The ASM systems provide continuous and permanent PD monitoring for high-voltage assets, cables and switchgears. The ASM PD monitor raises alarms when excess discharge is detected and can be configured locally or through email. This technology enables long-term, remote and continuous PD monitoring and quick diagnosis.
- 24/7 monitoring and quick discharge detection
- Automated system for PD detection with ergonomic design.
- Advanced technology and fully customisable
- Capacitively coupled for TEV PD detection
- 19” cabinet with customisable options.
- Up to 32 sensors can be monitored by single ASM-P
ASM-Portable- PD Monitor
ASM-Portable is a portable PD monitoring tool for cables, switchgear, and other high voltage assets. The ASM-P supports up to 32 sensor channels, and raises local or email alarms on detecting excessive discharge. This will enable quick online evaluation and supports long term condition monitoring.
- Portable and robust ASM system support
- PD Monitoring round the clock
- Automated analysis and PD detection
- Plots PD count, Load, asset criticality and analogues

- Cycle mode to view PD graphs in power cycle.
- Precedence mode for precise PD location
- Bright LCD panel display for indoor and outdoor use.
Partial Discharge Sensors
The PD sensors are designed to be non-invasive and compatible with existing equipment. Partial Discharge sensors are compact and easy-to use, used to measure the presence and intensity of PD activity.
VDS – PD Detector Pro
This compact VDS sensor measures the presence of PD activity level in air/gas insulated switchgear. It connects easily through VDS/VPIS ports using a standard banana connector, making PD testing quick, safe, and reliable.
- Detects high-frequency transients from PD in GIS and AIS
- Connects to LV ports for consistent per-phase measurements
- Lightweight and easy to use casing with magnetic mounting for convenience
- Multi-sensor plug and banana-type connector
CC-TEV
The CC-TEV capacitive coupler detects TEVs on high-voltage assets and sends quick signals to ASM, PrecisePD, or PD-SG1 systems. CC-TEV is protected by a durable pvc sleeve.
- Detects high-frequency transients from PD in QIS and AIS
- Connects to LV ports for consistent per-phase measurement
- Lightweight, easy to use casing with magnetic mounting for ease of use
AA-Ultrasonic
The AA- Ultrasonic probe is specially designed to be used on air-insulated terminations. The sensor is quite sensitive and can find activity below 10pC. The probe has a magnetic base to allow coupling to steel enclosures and a swivel head for the detecting sensor to directly aim the HV point
- Frequency response 40kHz and Receiving sensitivity -65dB min at 40 kHz
- Sensor head swivels at 360 degrees
- Coupling type is magnetic to be compatible with steel enclosures
- Extremely sensitive and detects activity below 10 pC
HFCT
The HFCT or high-frequency current transformer is designed particularly for detecting PD signals, mainly in cables. HFCT has a split-core ferrite to enable retrofitting to earth straps without disconnecting. HFCT is constructed with an aluminium body to give RF shielding and to improve performance in noisy settings.
- Transfer function at 4.8 V/A
- Ideal for all earth and neutral PD monitoring applications
- Designed particularly for finding PD signals
- Built with aluminium body to give RF shielding.
Benefits of Partial Discharge Testing
Partial Discharge (PD) Testing is a robust diagnostic strategy ensuring the reliability and safety of electrical equipment. By finding early signs of defects, deterioration, and insulation wear, PD testing provides critical insights into the health of assets, prolonging their life and enabling proactive maintenance.
Why is Partial Discharge Monitoring critical?
- Early Detection of Issues: finds insulation damage at the starting stage, preventing the progression of failures.
- Predictive Maintenance Support: Provides real-time data on asset condition, supporting practical maintenance strategies to avoid unexpected outages.
- Extended Asset Life: Helps maintain insulation reliability, and secure the overall lifespan of electrical equipment.
- Improved Safety: Reduces the risk of electrical faults that could endanger workers or damage the existing infrastructure.
- Cost Savings: Prevents costly repairs and downtime by picking potential problems before they escalate.
