FAQ for Handheld Partial Discharge Tester for Switchgear
Q1: What is a handheld switchgear partial discharge tester used for?
A: It is a portable, non-invasive live-test device for high-voltage switchgear. It detects and locates hidden partial discharge faults including insulation aging, floating potential discharge, metal particle discharge and surface tracking, effectively preventing insulation breakdown, short circuits and unexpected power outages.
Q2: What detection technologies does the tester adopt?
A: It integrates three core detection modes: TEV for internal high-frequency discharge signals of closed cabinets, Ultrasonic (UA) for acoustic discharge signals through gaps, and optional UHF for high-sensitivity detection of tiny defects. Multi-mode detection greatly improves fault coverage and positioning accuracy.
Q3: Does testing require a power outage?
A: No. It supports fully live online detection without equipment power-off or external high-voltage excitation, enabling real-time fault inspection during normal operation and avoiding power supply and production losses.
Q4: What equipment is the tester applicable to?
A: It fits 10kV–35kV power distribution equipment, including conventional switch cabinets, GIS, ring main units and cable branch boxes, widely used in substations and industrial & commercial power systems.
Q5: Does operation require professional training?
A: Basic operation is simple with a user-friendly interface and one-key detection, requiring no advanced training. Basic electrical knowledge is only needed for accurate signal analysis and fault severity judgment.
Q6: What is the standard on-site testing method?
A: For TEV testing: Attach the sensor closely to the cabinet surface and test each partition in sequence. For ultrasonic testing: Aim the probe at cabinet gaps, seams and insulation parts for slow scanning. For UHF testing: Place the antenna near insulation joints for high-sensitivity sampling. Record real-time data and waveforms for analysis.
Q7: How to avoid external interference?
A: The device is built with anti-interference algorithms. On-site tips: Keep away from high-power and signal transmission equipment; ensure tight sensor contact; eliminate cabinet static electricity; and verify results with multiple test comparisons.
Q8: What is the routine inspection cycle?
A: Normal operating equipment: every 6 months. Aging, high-load or fault-history equipment: every 3 months. Additional inspections are required after thunderstorm seasons, equipment maintenance and tripping faults.
