Power cables are important assets in electric utility transmission networks for the reliable operation of power systems. To prevent catastrophic failures in underground cables and terminations, it is ...

Industrial, commercial, medical, and academic institutions face several challenges in maintaining medium- and low-voltage electrical systems. These systems are counted on to distribute reliable power ...

The oscillating wave test system from HDW Electric can be used to identify, evaluate, and locate partial discharge (PD) faults in a cable insulation and in joints and terminations. The system can be ...

Partial discharge (PD) measurement has been used for several decades to assess the condition of high voltage (HV) and medium voltage (MV) electrical apparatus. In the past, the application was mostly ...

What is partial discharge? Methods for measuring PD. How PD impacts high-voltage cables. Partial discharge (PD) is evidence of a degrading insulation system, which could trigger costly repairs and ...
