If PDs occur, the voltage at which they initiate is the partial discharge inception voltage (PDIV) the voltage level is then reduced until the PDs extinguish, this is the partial discharge extinction voltage (PDEV)
Offline PD testing is most commonly used for motors, generators and cables using VLF or 50/60Hz power supplies.
We can implement a series of highly sensitive Offline tests at the commissioning stage, or fit into your routine shutdowns, to help to improve the efficiency of your CBM plan.
