The Importance of Partial Discharge Testing | Essentials of Partial Discharge Testing 1

In Part 1 of our video series titled Essentials of Partial Discharge Testing, Caspar Steineke, partial discharge (PD) expert and co-creator of OMICRON MPD technology, discusses the importance of knowing the insulation condition of electrical assets, how partial discharge plays a role in insulation deterioration and eventual failure, why regular PD testing is the preferred method for insulation condition assessment, and how PD testing provides users with the information they need to plan effective timely action to prevent equipment failure and costly outages.

00:00 - Introduction
00:14 - Why is insulation condition critical to know?
00:46 - What are partial discharges?
01:21 - What does PD activity indicate?
01:50 - Why should you perform PD measurements?
02:27 - How are PD measurements non-destructive?
02:45 - Conclusion and contact information

Partial discharge (PD) is a reliable indicator and major cause of deterioration in electrical insulation which can result in equipment failure and costly outages. Regular PD testing is a non-destructive and highly reliable method for assessing the insulation condition of electrical equipment, and it provides users with vital information to plan timely action that ensures their continued reliability and availability.
