Partial Discharge
Partial discharge and high voltage insulation test systems for laboratory or on-site measurement according to VDE 0434, IEC 60270, EN 50178, VDE 0884, IEC60747-5-5, UL 1577 and others.
Partial Discharge (PD) is a local electrical discharge which occurs at defects or inhomogenities inside insulator materials.
The Partial Discharge measurement is a nondestructive test for determining the quality of insulating materials.
In contrast to the high voltage insulation test, the test object is not damaged. The Partial Discharge test is called a non destructive test.
A coupling capacitor, measurement impedance and a Partial Discharge meter is required to do a Partial Discharge measurement.
Peak voltage measurement


Accurate measurement of high voltages acc. to VDE 0432 und IEC 60060 in conjunction with a high voltage divider.
For the measurement, the principle of capacitive or resistive divider is used, which can be selected in the peak voltage meter.
