Surface Tracking

Used along with a PD-SG series device, the AA Ultrasonic Probe can be used to detect Surface Tracking in difficult to reach locations. The flexible head allows for positioning in any direction whilst being able to clearly read the live results from the test unit.

Surface tracking can seriously damage high voltage insulating surfaces in a way that will ultimately lead to flashover and complete failure of the insulator. This discharge activity creates acoustic emission that can be detected using the Ultrasonic Probe. The magnitude of the acoustic emission is indicative of the degree and severity of discharge activity.
