Partial Discharge Monitoring
Partial Discharge (PD) is the Hidden Risk to High Voltage Assets You Can’t Afford to Ignore
1 in 4
high-voltage failures involve Partial Discharge according to IEEE studies.
82%
of companies have experienced at least one unplanned downtime incident over the past three years. Most have suffered two or more.
£1 million
Downtime for critical sites can cost £1,000,000’s per event and replacing failed equipment isn't quick.
SAFETY
PD is a known cause of fires and insulation failure which can put personnel & property in danger. It can occur to new and old equipment. Often triggered by humidity, poor installation or defects.
What would the cost be if your site suddenly lost power?
Are your HV systems only inspected once a year?
Are staff or contractors entering live zones just to detect faults?
The Solution
Peace of mind and due diligence with continuous monitoring
Our solution is an online partial discharge monitoring system that can be cloud connected or locally monitored.
Modular, easy to install and suitable for a wide array of industries including data centres, private networks, generation & utilities.
Worried about PD right now?
Deploy our portable online PD monitoring solution to get immediate 24/7 remote visibility to confirm PD suspicions and be alerted if conditions deteriorate.
Kits available to purchase or hire.
Rapid Deployment
Can be installed with or without a power outage. Available as a permanent integrated system or a temporary quick diagnostic solution.
Open Compatibility
Connect securely to our remote cloud platform or keep data local on your internal systems such as BMS or SCADA.
Flexible Installation
Works across all HV asset types and manufacturers. Can also interface with other data sources like power or specialist sensor technologies.
Expert Analysis
Choose from expert 24/7 monitoring, hands-on training to self-manage or a hybrid model tailored to your operations.
