IQ Partial Discharge Testing
Our Process
The POWER PLUS Engineering, Inc. IQ Partial Discharge Testing Services consists of three integral steps. IQ Sampling involves POWER PLUS collecting field samples of electronic signals emitted from electrical components using special sensors. IQ Diagnostics consists of analyzing the signals and IQ Reporting to provide the customer with results and recommendations related to the condition of the components that were sampled.
IQ Applications & Uses
- PD Testing of MV/HV Cables after manufacture for Quality Assurance
- PD Testing of MV/HV Cables in service for degradation
- PD Testing of field prepared splices & terminations
- PD Testing of molded devices such as elbows & all field installed cable kits
- Measurement of Switchgear PD activity
- Installation & commissioning tests on Switchgear & other MV/HV distribution & transmission equipment
- PD Testing of Transformers & other MV/HV distribution & transmission equipment
- HV Bushing & Insulator PD testing
- Testing the PD activity of Surge Arrestors up to the MCOV (maximum circuit operating voltage)
- Measuring PD & quality assurance on MV Generators and Motors
- Commission testing of New and Repaired MV/HV Cables
