The Simplest Handheld PD Device on the Market

Unlike many handhelds, the PDS Insight™ 2 automatically synchronises to voltage and provides traffic-light guidance, so technicians get consistent PD results with minimal setup.

Measure Peak PD levels, PD Pulse Count and Cumulative PD Activity

Use built-in Transient Earth Voltage and acoustic sensors to detect PD activity. Our colour-coded high voltage partial discharge criticality level helps to inform as to whether further investigation of the asset is required.

Phase Resolved Partial Discharge (PRPD)

The PRPD feature in the PDS Insight™ 2 helps to differentiate misleading background noise from true PD sources, helping to ensure you avoid in-service failures and costly unplanned outages.

OLPD Manager™ Software

Analyse and report on new and historic PD data using this dedicated application. With data transfer via USB, the software enables asset and substation registration, PD data analysis, benchmarking and trending of PDS Insight™ 2 data.

Indoor Acoustic Probe

Indoor Acoustic Probe

For measuring PD in difficult to reach areas such as vents and seams where the acoustic signals emanate from inside the MV air-insulated switchgear.

Outdoor Acoustic Parabolic Receiver

Outdoor Acoustic Parabolic Receiver

For measuring the surface and corona discharge from overhead outdoor insulation in outdoor HV switchyards.
